No problem. Figure I save close to grand. And up and running on the night of the day BMW would have taken it in!

Thanks lt_texan for the great write up!!! Mods, could we get this added to the "How-To's" section?

Just a heads-up for anyone with the Sport Package (active sway bars) there is a LOT less room towards the front of the car (immediately noticeable when comparing pics in this thread with what you have on your X5). As a result it helps to have abnormally small hands and skinny forearms...at least when it comes to dealing with the thermostat/waterpump bolts. Fortunately any of the "heavy lifting" is done from either the rear of the pump/thermostat housing or from up top.

FYI- In 2008, 2009 the Sport Package included Adaptive Drive (AD) (which is the active sway bars, etc)

But in 2010 on, you only got AD with AD - in other words a "sport package" car no longer includes this $3500 option.

I've wondered how the used market will price this option with the weird packaging as the years change...

Absolutely. Save a almost a grand and get it done quicker!

Make sure you get the right water pump!
