My nephew is in Riyadh. He occasionally sends me pics. I like these of the former Burger King sign. Not sure how the driver managed to do that. :D

Windshield replacement

Almost 10 years ago, I posted this about my experience with Safelite replacing my windshield. Looking back at it, I was definitely too kind on them.

I still have that 2008 X5 and I'm now dealing...

I've tried a number of different wipers, on my X5, over the past 16 years. I really like the Bosch ICON series. Specifically, ICON 20" 20OE, ICON 24" 24OE, and OE Specialty A380H.

I've used a couple of different headlight restoration kits on my 2008 E70. The only one that worked well was the Sylvania kit. I did the headlights a year ago and they still look great.

FYI.

I did get the engine replaced in my 2008 X5 4.8i almost a year ago. It cost close to $15K, because so many parts were replaced, but there has not been a single issue!

The X5 still feels...

ard,

I'd pretty much decided to do the engine replacement if it cost under $10K and I was comfortable with the shop.

I may regret it but I'm going with a local shop to purchase and install a...

Thanks. I'll do that.

Right now, I'm leaning towards scrapping the X5. I got a quote from reputable rebuilder and I worked out that my total cost would be $16K! That includes shipping the X5. ...

Henn28 and ard,

Thanks for your input. It seems like new N62 engines are available at $19,500 + manifolds + electrical so that's not an option.

Can anyone recommend any sellers of engines?

There's eBay sellers but they don't look great. Others are Ghassan,...

Center bore and offset for F15 is unchanged from E70. Yes, the 20's from 2009 will work on 2015 unless the 2009 was X5M, X6 or X6M -- those will require that the rears be bored out.

FYI. These wheels work on X5M, X6, X6M as is. On E70 X5, the rear wheels have to be bored out to 74.1mm. Not a big deal -- just have to find a shop to do that.

You could have stopped the chiming with coding but I'm assuming that, it constantly showing up in the display, got to be pretty annoying.
