Just came across bad DIY from YouTube...

Person in video removed dash in order to remove center console.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPXHxCaaDJI

All he needed to do is just pull the parking brake handle as far as it can go and "hold it". That will give him additional clearance to clear center console. Lift from rear and swing up. There is no need to removal dash.

I recently replaced the cup holder and the center console removal was easier than I thought...

I thought you HAD to remove a wheel from the car to put air in it. Otherwise how do you know the air is evenly distributed?

While we're talking maintenance, do any of you guys know how to check the halogen fluid in the headlights of an X5?

How about changing out the tail light bearings?

Tail light bearings only need to be serviced if they are not chromed. That's why with chrome wheels, I'm confident of the air distribution in my tires.
