Pushed out old woofer from housing, shaved almost all the new component woofer mounts off and silicone'd into place. Solder wires to factory plug and it still retains the stock hook-up!

Put my roof rails back on, and was freshly reminded that I don't like them. Installed the Rola crossbars that upallnight recommended me, and love the way it looks. Might just leave the roof rails and cross bars on after our trip. Put the Thule roofbox on top to test fit it, and make sure the cross bars were in the right position, and that the trunk spoiler won't hit when open. Everything looked good, should only take 5 minutes to put it on top and fasten it with the Quick-Fasten sytem...

I leave my crossbars on all the time. In the winter the Thule cargo box is up there to carry our skis and snowboards, in the summer I have bike carriers and a kayak carrier on the roof as well as a Saris ride on bike carrier in the tow hitch. The tow hitch is also used for towing and launching our jet boat. Our X is indeed a Sport activity vehicle since it is used for carrying all our sport equipment.

Replaced electric cooling fan. Most folks seem to indicate the fan comes from the front... Mine was a push down and remove from the bottom. This should have significant impact on a/c efficiency in traffic.

Today I treated my X5 to a bath, vacuum, and general cleaning. Then a photoshoot.
Uh-oh...yep, she needs to find a new home. Sorry to see her go but I'll find a good spot for her. Decided we wanted something a little bigger and are going to lease a 2016 X5 40e (the hybrid one). Mineral white over black leather and a gazillion packages. Got a screaming good deal from Greg Poland over at Pacific BMW (I bought my 2011 M3 from him). They need to make room for the 2017s that are in production. BMW added in $3500 lease cash and has the residual set artificially high at 60%! We fly out to pick up the new one on Saturday.

Nice floor! Have you had it long? If so, what would you say are the plus and minuses?

BTW: I said goodbye to her today. Full asking price of $7k, multiple people waiting if the first one fell through. I guess I priced her too low but I'm not playing the craigslist game forever so I'm happy. The floor is "Race Deck" out of Utah. I've had it ~4 years I think (I'd have to look but I'm too lazy...lol). I went with it when my original epoxy floor started coming up and looking ugly. My choice was to grind down and do it my self (since I paid for crappy work the first time), or take advantage of a discount that Race Deck offered Garage Journal members. Pros: Easy install. Quick install. Looks fantastic out of the box. Soft under foot. You can drop things on it with no worries (within reason). You can easily do designs (like my ///M stripes). You're not on a cold floor in the winter. Water runs out underneath in channels. Cons: It is a lot harder to keep clean than I thought it would be. I do heavy maintenance in my garage and the floor isn't nice and shiny anymore, not matter what I clean it with (and I'm using their finish treatment). It's not terrible and I'm not unhappy, but you need to understand it's probably not for everyone. If you have a garage where you just park cars, it's fine. If you do heavy work, it's fine as long as you understand it'll get dirty-ish looking. It has served me well though. Minor complaints.

Today I did the fuel pump, and found out how to load the X5 onto a flat deck, lol.
