Yes!!! Now I know I'm not the only one who feels that way after a thorough clean on the X!

That color is gorgeous btw!

Matt, OMG. Your Estoril looks phenomenal! Roof rack delete I see, how has she been running? The paint looks great as well did you get a respray?

[mam4.6]

Thanks for the compliments, I still get goosebumps when I look at the X, same as I did the first day I got her!! Yep, deleted the rack, plugges the holes, now all I need is some lowering springs yet.
Jason, it's been running great, no complaints. I still have a bit of a vibration in Drive at standstill, but I'm hoping my engine work, and replacing my vacuum lines will take care of that. Time will tell... I did get the roof resprayed, I had a terrible peeling problem there. The jams are sitting still right now, not advancing to much, but I did buy some touchup paint that I used in the most obvious places. I got a quote to get a total respray, $8K, to remove doors, hood and rear hatches, and respray everything. So, that's where all my extra money is going right now, the respray fund...

Map software upgrade!

Mam4.6--looks great! Share your feeling.

X5SND--gotta do that, there is a new bridge nearby that it thinks I am crossing the lake without it being there. Lots of new construction--make a u turn, make u turn, make a u turn.

I hear ya! I was rocking 2012 maps, but there was a thoroughfare built in 2011 which I now take. Understandably something like that usually takes a year or 2 to trickle down into maps of those of us who live in the smaller cities. But I'm rocking 2013 maps and all is well once again!

Over the weekend, towed a light load of hay and finally got around to refurbishing the headlights with the 3m kit, then added the weathertech vinyl film custom fit covers to protect them. The weathertechs are a bit spendy [$50?], not worth that much, I expect, but the 3m refurhish kit [applied with a hand drill] does a nice job. Pending: install the aux music input in the ashtray and get the computer reflash to recognize the trailer electronics [showing rear and brake light faults].

Did a late spring clean over the weekend, the last 3 months were FCAB, waterpump and VCG DIYs.

Headlights were off, guess the flash reflected in the Xenons.

Lookin sharp TiAg! I don't know if we ever went over this but you do know that our pre-facelifts are not ATC500 Xdrive models right?
