I'm sure that I won't have any trouble until Thanksgiving as that's the date for our newest family addition to arrive....
23 y/o son 18 y/o son 13 y/o X5 and... Surprise! It's another son. (Thanksgiving day) I should have spent more time under the BMW instead...  Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

Got a lot done this weekend:
- replaced expansion tank (leaking at join between upper and lower halves) - replaced lower hose from expansion tank to water pump (existing hose wouldn't seal to hose barb on new tank) - replaced front windshield (huge crack was driving me nuts) - replaced front and rear washer pumps - fixed right outside tail light (lower socket wasn't getting a good connection, triggering a brake light fault message) No more drips or warning lights!

xDrive service
I serviced my xDrive transfer case today - ATC500. Fun little task.
Used OEM "unicorn juice" - DTF-1. The local dealer gave me a good price, so my kids will be able to eat this week after all... Also bought a fluid pump - which made this task SO much easier. After changing the fluid I fired up the laptop with DIS and ran the transfer case oil change task, which resets the oil wear adaptation values. Whir, click, buzz.... Done. Boy, is this thing SMOOTH now.  It's always had a subtle "shudder" in the driveline when under high torque at low speeds. Felt like a grabbing clutch... Stop on a hill, them move off briskly and you could feel a slight driveline shudder. Turn sharply from an intersection when you've had to stop and it felt slightly rough and "graunchy"... but only very slightly. Not anymore! Butter smooth... just wow...
