Windiw fell down? I just delt with a driver window falling down. There are two small black clips that hold the window up. I’d bet they both broke.

I happened to have two new clips in my toolbox — I never road-trip the X5 without it — but I didn't need them. The two bolts that hold the clips to the regulator carrier were both loose and the carrier had gone down without the glass. Re-seated the glass, tightened the screws, and it's been fine since then. Broke half the door panel clips and one of the mount pads came off. I still haven't fixed that, but it's not urgent. I want to replace the water barrier at some point because it was completely missing, obvs someone had been in there several times before me, but I have not had any water intrusion.

Good idea about keeping clips in the glove box. It seems like an almost certainty that every year as we pull out of the driveway with the trailer all loaded up for a week of camping that somebody rolls down the window and it never comes back up.

Car is at 166,933 miles this morning when I looked. I've been meaning to do the math to see how many miles are on the 2 year old motor now so I can update my maintenance log: 13,854.
Its been in for 2 years now and has been largely trouble free, as one would hope for a new motor getting roughly 7k/year miles. The obvious exception is the large coolant tube leak I had to fix a few months ago. I think, however, that can be attributed to the mechanic who built the motor and used ebay coolant tubes. Its mostly oil leak-free, with the exception of a slight right bank vanos weep that I noticed when doing the coolant tube job. I gave the vanos unit bolts a very slight torque, but I think they are seated on collars that won't allow for the actual unit to be over-torqued? I'm staring at a few larger maintenance jobs at some point when I get motivated: Left front axle boots are failing and spraying grease (right outer is still intact, but is showing cracking), blower motor is squealing in cold weather and in (mostly) left hand turns for some odd reason, the transfer case chain is showing signs of being overly stretched out, and the front diff has a slow oil weep from the casing joint. This last job will be a nightmare but fortunately it isn't enough to even drip on the stiffener plate yet. I'm going to save it, the transfer case and pulling the dash apart to replace the blower motor for after we get my wife a new car this summer/fall and her 2015 jeep graduates to being the on-call X5 rescue vehicle and back-up daily driver. I wonder if Quaife makes a diff that will fill the front carrier in the X5. Worth a look, but likely not as it is a smaller unit than the rear diff and may have only been used in the x5, unlike the "medium" 188 size diff in the rear of our cars. A friend was asking about the X5 the other day and said "you've really saved a lot of money, compared to a new car, by keeping that X5 on the road." My wife almost blew her drink through her nose laughing.
