That's spooky, I saw mine were corroded a couple of months back and have the new lines sat on the side waiting for me to fit them. I'm a bit tied up with valley pan and valve cover gaskets etc at the moment, they'll have to wait.
I brought my car with me from the UK where we have salt on the roads half of the year f*#king our cars up! And of course you guys over yonder have crappy weather too..

Clean them up with wire brush and spray some of that special rust blocker spray paint and throw some undercoat on top.

Thanks for the heads up I will definitely have to check on mine soon. The last brake flush, I noticed both rear calipers were spewing out brown/reddish fluids, but all calipers are properly functional.

Well I decided to dive into this given a quiet weekend and glad I did. Definitely not what I expected with only 47k miles at all. While not bad compared to the pics in link I am definitely glad I tore into it.
BTW...what a PITA to get that splash panel off...didnt have patience to reassemble and have to do some cleaning and prep before I do anyway. Everything beyond the wire loom holder toward the back of the truck is spot clean and no issue everything in front of the loom has the calcification on it.

The panel has to be trapping the moisture, as the frame welds have rust stains as well demostrating a high moisture environment. I have added this to my own list for the X5.
