You good sir have...

Been lurking around here long enough, figured I'd join this ship. Not I have time for another forum to read.

I was just reading through your X5 options and other than engine ours are identical. Mine looks slightly different now as I've deleted the roof rack and redone the running boards in black to match the rest of the trim

They are really easy to disassemble and then I just had them powder coated, ~$60

This is the best pic I have:

112,000 miles,

Starter died while at work. I have to park in the basement of the parking garage, three floors underground. That makes it hard to two a heavy AWD SUV out of...
AAA sent a low clearance wrecker to recover it out of the garage. The X5 proved to be a bit too heavy for the wrecker, but he did his best anyway. It struggled the entire 21 miles to the shop.
The add insult to the injury, my normal preferred shop, where I get special treatment from all the damn money I've spent there, was on vacation and closed. Tried out a new shop with the ZHP about a week prior to this. Called him up, and even through he was booked solid for the next two weeks, took it in. Had it repaired the next day.
