Sorry to confuse you. My original post was about the V8 engine in my X5. Just assumed you were talking about a V8 also. In your inline 6 engine, the bank 2 pre-cat sensor is the one closest to the...

I'm reading it as front (pre-cat) sensor of bank 2 which is the driver's side. I think your parts diagram is for an inline 6 cylinder engine.

Just did the same! Will be trading in my 2008 X5 4.8 Sport with adaptive drive. Didn't get the DHP though. Just the M adaptive suspension with 20" wheels. Hopefully our wait won't be long.

You can always spray those bolts with penetrating oil and then grab them with a fine point needle nose to loosen them. As Ard mentioned they are very low torque and should come out quite easily.

I had the Vanos bolt recall performed on my N55 335i about three weeks ago at Nalley BMW in Atlanta. They had already done several, so I assume at least some dealers have had the parts available for...

Oh, I too have the one at the end, but it's different from the one that occurs when I wake the car up. The one at the end is the system that pumps fuel vapors so they can be pumped into the engine...

I don't have the air suspension and my X5 makes a noise as soon as I unlock it or open the door. I don't think it lasts quite as long as the noise in the video, so yours might be something different....

When the dealer replaced my pump, I saw the car with the fender removed before they even drove the loaner car up for me. Must be easy to remove, and by the look of things, it must be the only way to...

I had to remove that stupid bracket just to replace my drive belt. What an idiotic design!

I've seen Pentosin CHF11S fluid at PepBoys, Autozone, or Advanced Auto Parts. Can't remember which one it was though, but I'm sure you can find it locally.

Where did you have that done for that price? I usually go to Harrison Motorsports up in Alpharetta (I highly recommend them, BTW), but I'm sure even he would charge more than $2000.

I'm almost sure the BMW extended warranty excludes leaking seals and gaskets in addition to suspension components, so make sure you study the exclusions before purchasing from BMW.
