Yeah. LOL.

Friday night I went and had dinner, and decided to stop off for a lotto ticket for the huge upcoming jackpot, as I never play. I went to a walk up ATM, parked on a 45 and jumped out to get some cash. When I went to get back in the X5, the plagued handle laughed at me, as I glared through the window with my cell phone on the console and it of course was running. I walked to the nearby gas station and called the place I frequent where I'd eaten. A waitress picked me up and took me home to get my spare key, which of course I had to break in my house as my keys were still in the ignition of the running X5. When I returned to the X5 it was surrounded by 4-5 people and the police had been called. I went back to the gas station to buy $10 in tickets, the system had been shut down 2 minutes before I made it back. Luckily, nobody won Friday night, since I am going to win on Tuesday. $650,000,000.00 projected. Which of course means free X5's for a number of people!

Can't wait to get this fixed, rolling all the windows down before entry is tiresome already. LOL

The carrier breaks because it's made of cheap pot metal from the factory.

They all do it, very common E53 problem.

Entertaining door lock story from the NC dookie, but yeah, its a common problem. When the weather warms a little end of the week I'll do mine; I've been doing the 'roll down the windows' thing for a couple of weeks and its getting old. As you see from my sig, my X5 is a late E53, same problem as you 2001 MY owners ....

I guess its good it lasted 187,000 miles worth of pulling and 12+years of snatchery.
