Both upper control arms were off too. Still couldn't get that damn spring out. When I was asking about it. A few cats made modified bottle jack mounts to fit and push the lower spring seat up. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Drove through 100 miles of country back roads on Saturday, enjoying a nice quiet mild drive enjoying the farms and slow by-ways around VA. Came back home and let it cool down. Followed up with a bath to delete the bug hits (only a few which was surprising) and to rinse off all the low pressure dust that settles on the back of these things! Three coats of wax on the front end made the clean-up a snap...
Funny how nice these "old Bimmers" stomp and run. She even idles better afterwards. Hell, even the tail pipe tips are still clean inside. Now, she is sitting under a cover with the trickle charger on waiting for the next run.

Took the family on a 600 mile round trip to Tekapo for the weekend. X5 ran flawlessly the whole time and returned 7.5l/100km (32mpg/US) while fully loaded.
It gets COLD overnight up in the mountains… the frost on the car in the mornings was next-level... (That's the roof of the car - not the lawn!) 20 minutes with the Webasto heater running via the remote (from inside the house!) and the X5 was clear of screen and warm of cabin. Very glad I fitted the new 900CCA battery before the winter...

O2/cat related? Did you finally wear out your cats? I out some O2 adapters on wife's x half a year ago and shut down those cat rated errors. (basically act like a buffer for the post cat O2 and slows the response. Won't help if the cats are completely shot but will stop the "cats are getting old" errors)
