Well dealer screwed me on the next day delivery for the SAS. I had to take off for a one week run and had to pick it up yesterday when I got home.

One of the easiest projects I have ever done on the X5, 1 hour start to finish including coding and taking my time. Not sure why so many struggle getting the shaft off the coupler, a couple of taps with a punch and it came off with a slight wiggle.

Anyway, replaced the SAS, coded it to the car, cleared the code and calibrated. 4X4 light off and back in business.

Well 1st weekend of vacation is here and the White Witch is obviously not interested in our upcoming road trips!!

Leaking RR tire, RF caliper sticking (glide pins

), high cluster ribbon cable

and RR pass window switch just dropped into the door card

...

With the muslim holiday of Ramadan things don't open till 1700 and stores close around 0200

.

So I am starting on tire and brake issues and then the window switch because it rattles from touching the speaker and the wife will definitely notice it

.

I hope to make it through the upcoming session of rolling eyes and foot tapping by using my 100% hearing loss (left side only) to my advantage....

Anyone know if adding a factory towing module to my 2003 (11/2002 build) will require coding to get it to work?

Changed the right front axle seal, put in a new axle while I was in there, Put in a new driver's seat belt, replaced the driver door speaker cover and put rear adjustment extensions on my BC Coilovers. I had to drop the stiffening plate to get the axle out. Put new nuts and bolts in, but didn't pay and arm and a leg for them. Bought them from Belmetrics. Six cost what one BMW cost. Same nut and bolt. Same strength, 10.9.

I guess when it rains it pours. I threw the E46 up this afternoon to give it its 6 month check up and found a drip of ATF on the rack boot. Inspected a little closer and sure enough, the right tie rod rack boot is full of fluid.

Looks like another $1000 into the 3 series after just throwing $300 at the X5 for the SAS. I swear these two talk at night, I am guessing the 3 got a little jealous of the X5 getting some attention.

Been trouble free for a solid year with a combined mileage of over 30,000 miles. Guess I shouldn't be too upset, I just wish the girls would space their needs a little farther apart.
