The Z think MAY be a sunroof wrench??? just a wag

you are correct about the wheel lock for sure. REALOEM has several listed under my car, all of which look different. Now I have to find the correct one.

They have number designations.... two digits. 1 - 59 maybe? 29?

Amazon has them.

awesome thanks, I will see if I can look at mine and figure it out.

well one problem solved. turns out I don't have any locking lug bolts, so no need to buy the tool at this time.

I also go my Wireless charger in that I was going to use, but it is not going to work. the way the cord comes off from it make it not fit correctly. on top of that the phone easily slides on it. no way is the phone going to stay on it driving.

DO NOT buy a used X5, moreover an 12 year old one, unless its your alternative or weekend car.

You will be forever frustrated with its endless reliability issues and do NOT listen to the fanatics. Its the plain truth. Do not say I did not warn you.

Ah, a little too late, I see you got it.

Enjoy, and hope yours will be the exception to the rule.

Thanks, I got the 2013 one with a warranty so hopefully it will be good. It is also out 2nd back up car and will probably get driven 10k or less per year. Maybe even closer to 5k. It is nice and a lot of fun to drive though.

Ok got a chance to try hooking the laptop up to the X5 today. Looks like my cable and software work for it.

Here were some code I had.

Looks like the M sport package. Very sharp.

How many miles? And is the soft touch black coating still unblemished on the interior trim pieces?

Thanks Yes it has the M sport package. has 89k miles and no blemishes inside that I could find. worst think I found was a few streaks on the wood when they detailed it.
