Finally replaced that gooey front passenger door handle. 22 minutes from start to finish, including the time to find the correct torx bits.

2011 X5 35d 110K service this month in order:

-Replaced Trans fluid thermostat.
-Checked and cleaned turbos
-Removed and cleaned charge pipes and intercooler of CCV oil.
-Installed Provent CCV fix.
-Removed intake manifold, cleaned carbon and sludge, replaced all seals. Decoked egr valve and degreased throttle body.
-Drained refilled both diffs and transfer case with Ravenol fluids.
-Drained transmission, changed filter, and filled with Mercron SP.
-changed engine Intake, and cabin filters.
-Engine oil change using Ravenol oil and mahle filter

Collected parts and stuff for a couple months and got after it. X5 was down two weeks but in the end it was worth the work. Should be good for another 100k.

How was replacing the serpentine belt? I've heard it's a bit of a pain.

Getting the AC stretch belt out of the way is the only hard part. You can get a tool, but you still need to turn the crank. Some just use the pulley bolt, but I made a tool to turn the crank by the hub of the pulley.

For the AC belt I got the Lisle tool from amazon and one of those crank hub adapters with the 4 holes from ebay. $40 bucks total for the two tools. I cut the old belts off since I had new conti belts to replace them with. The serpentine was tedious due to routing issues but I left it out in the sun for a while for it to "lose" its carboard holder memory and be easier to put on the pulleys. The ac belt with the lisle tool went on in a snap.
