You're like everyone's favorite little brother that pisses the whole family off at the dinner table. And then realizes he's gone too far and is quick witted enough to make everyone laugh so they let it slide.

And solid bushings suck unless track car.

Walked around it. Admiring that it’s 14 years old and still gives me a semi.

I’m really having a hard time moving up to an (f15)x5m, while this tank is still perfect for my needs. And no payments on it. Shit. I might even fix the curbed rims and little dents and keep it as side piece.

E39 experience is not necessarily transferable to an X5. Oops, responding to your question is also off topic.
Sorry to be off topic, but did you notice anything negative doing solid subframe bushes? More noise n vibrations etc?

I'm hearing ya... I've got an offer in on another low k 4.8is in the colour I want. It's got cream seats but they'll go and I'll chuck in some black F15 seats...

I did a complete suspension rebuild at the time so can't distinguish anything particular about the bushings other than they were extremely easy to install. I was thoroughly pleased with rebuild results.

There is a difference between complaining and constructive input. My input is intended as something to consider to improve the forum rather than have a negative impact such as your inconsiderate response.

News flash buddy. Your long ass rants aren't positive. Quite the opposite.
