I think you are on the last year to get the FRM replaced. ( it think its 7 years) Id hook up a scanner like Carly or rheingold to see if there are intermittent issues with it as they are not always symptomatic.

This is my first white car. I usuallypick colors that stand out from the crowd, but Alpine White is growing on me. I love how it shows the lines of the car. I may vinyl wrap the X5, not sure yet. The 2nd choice was the brown color.
Lane assist gets annoying after a while, always buzzing the steering wheel. I usually turn it off lol.
Hmm I will definitely look into the FRM and rheingold.

I'm on the same search for an Alpine White, but it needs the third row. Third row and comfort seats seem to be a very rare combo.

I knew I didn't have any pictures of the Tobacco, but it was 1am when I posted this, but here you go!
I was actually looking for Blue/Brown X5's but that was extremely rare. 3rd row seating scared me due to the rear airbags, but is helpful for towing. One day Ill tow a racecar... one day (if the wife lets me ls1 swap the m3).

ISTA+ (Rheingold ) is a must. Or Carly if you don’t want to carry your laptop with you!
And congratulations! Beautiful car!

Haha yep, a little bit of me died inside on that 34hr drive. Basically my friend said he could take Monday off, so we wouldn't have to rush and have time to sightsee a little bit. Then on Saturday morning, he says he has to be at the job site 100% (since he's the superintendent). We were going to find a hotel in Indiana somewhere to crash for 4-6hrs, but we would be home around 2-4am Sunday, so I chugged a redbull and 5hr energy and powered on through the night. HUD and lane assist kept me focused. The HUD really helps with tunnel vision at night.
FYI, the armrest can fit 5 20oz RedBull cans and with the AC on, it keeps the cans at a nice chilly temperature
