My official "hello" to Xoutpost

Hi all,

My name is JP and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and my newest addition to the fleet - a 2005 X5 4.8is in Le Mans Blau.

I am an active participant over on M3Forums and I have a hobby of creating useful DIY video projects. You can watch my channel here for a list of DIY videos.

I am in the process of cleaning up a few loose ends with the X5. The truck was purchased from another member of this board in relatively good shape at 110K miles. Since receiving the truck I have done the following:
  • New brakes all around
  • Front lower thrust arm
  • Coolant, Brake, power steering, transfer-case and transmission flush
  • New fuel, air and cabin filter
  • Replaced the nav LCD screen
  • Fixed rebotting nav issue
  • Replaced the Ipod cable with a new one
  • Spark plugs

I still have to hardwire the V1, replace the steering wheel trim, clean and condition the leather and finish detailing the exterior. Once that's done, I'll take some real pics and post em!
