Today I finally took off the BMW OEM bug deflector that has been on our X5 since 2004, what a difference it made!

Dropped the original 3.0i rims off to someone who's going to be plastidipping them to a matte black!

Also took the 9 year old roundel of the hood as it was all cracked and faded, and replaced with a new one!

I then took the X to get a nice car wash after all this Canadian snow/salt

Had to go to Wallyworld and check for myself. Mobil1 0W-40 Eurocar LL spec is finally available in the 5qt jug, this is like getting every 5th qt free. Did an oil/filter change yesterday (filter from Classic BMW, $21.).

I was suprised to see it there too. Love it since I have Walmart 1 miles away. I bought (3) 5qt jugs to have enough for my bimmers. Their 1Qt is ~ $6.50, which is the cheapest around also.

Put the 12mm spacers on the fronts (20mm on the rears)... Pretty much the same offsets as Style 87's now

Thumbs up New DISA install

Today I installed a new disa valve in 5 min flat lol..... Will post link where they are only $189 new.. oem BMW part. Last week Indy shop quoted me $450 total. It could be in my head but I'm sure I feel more hp and torque off the line.
