Good news! New engine is in.

I am so excited to have my X5 back, that I have to tell everyone!

It had been out of commission for more than 1 month after the engine failed.

Total cost along with some other fixes (like CV shaft, P/S Diff. fluids, fan belt) was $4,240. Dirt cheap for an engine swap and then some. It would have been ~$15000 at BMW, or ~$8000 at indy.

The "new" engine has about 100,000km on it, it is quite a bit, but the engine it replaced had 170,000km.

SO FAR, it drives like nothing ever happened to it!

I can't wait to give her a good detailing this Friday. I will throw up some pics
