Whistle Carnage Thread!! Our X5 fails, broken parts, crashes.

I go first:

Turning into work on a rainy day, too close to curb, Understeer on Friday the 13th. Good thing i got the part after lunch.


Big hairpin turn, average speed, however the road was very salty. note the skids this is how it stopped. You can still see the dust dispersing in the background.

Checked the oil and topped it off. Next morning driving to school, very rough running

Guess what i forgot...

I'll post the oil cooler carnage I created this weekend when I get it out and recover from beating my head against the wall...

if we don't get enough input, which with these civilized X5 drivers we very well might not, we may consider opening it up to 'other BMW carnage'...in which case I can certainly add some winners.
