bmwz1111 is on a distinguished road
proud new x5 owner

You may have read my previous post where I talked about my search for an x5 and how to choose one, and now I am pleased to let everyone now, that thanks to your help, i am now the owner of a 2004 x5 3.0 auto with panoramic sunroof with only 90k miles! and under $13k! this goes do show that if you are patient, you will find the perfect ride!
With that there are two items that eed to adressed to make new rig perfect! first my red BRAKE light is on, with the accompaning message "check brake lines". I knew about this problem from th previous owner, and researched before I bought it. I had the brakes inspect, and they have plenty of pad left, brake job done 3 months ago. Is it likely that the brake pad sensor were not replaced if done my a non bmw brake shop, and that could be source of my brake message?
Second item is that the ac blower stays on after the car is shut down, is this some kind of electric gremlin, or maybe a feature of the car? It doesnt bother me that bad, I just pull the fuse to stop it from killling my battery, is there a way to make the fan turn off with the car?
Otherthan that I couldnt be more thrilled with my purchase, even with the 3.0 the car is so smooth! and the stock suspension is so tight it handles like a dream! I love tge look of the car, and how I tower over other cars as I drive down the road! I am looking forward to many happy years with my SAV.
