Got the same letter. I just hope they don't curb my rims like last time.

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
Wife took my daughter and some friends (who sat in the third row) up to our cottage. She had to use the X5 as there was 5 kids. Roof box was used since there is no trunk space with the 3rd row in use

^ how do you get stuff up to that roof box easily? I'm thinking of adding that accessory as we are traveling more for sports now.

Do you use a ladder or do the side rails help? Stepping inside the rear door? I also recall seeing a solution that hooks onto the tire?

I just step on the running boards. My wife has it a little tougher to get into roofbox, so I typically mount it all the way to one side to make it a bit easier, and she may use the inside of the rear door to reach stuff all the way inside the roofbox.

AC Recharge

Had AC colder on drivers side then passenger. Was 38 degrees one side and 65 on the other. So I bought one of those AC Pro Refill kits. Shot some freon in there, air now blows in the 28 degrees out of both center vents. Kick ass.

Rennen Forged Wheels - Monolicht Concave Series -
This is the 8th summer with these wheels, our roads in Toronto are notorious for potholes, and I have had no issues with them. Running standard 275/40 and 315/35 rubber

Installed an Invisihitch from an F15 X5 today. Bolted right up to my E70 with no problems. Must be exactly the same as as the E70 model.

Used the OEM harness for the E70

Threw 900+ miles on it... Florida to Ohio. Rode real nice. Done this trip 3x's in the E53 previously. The E70 showed its moxie.
