I had the exact same problem in just about the exact same location after owning my car about a year. The dealer looked at it and thought the two bolts in the top that hold the cluster in place were...

Are you sure about the different-sized lug nuts for the spare? I hadn't heard that before. I bought the spare after-the-fact, and didn't see any references anywhere to different lug nuts.

My car-before-last was an E46 M3. It was fun, but I think overall I enjoy my X5 more. It certainly wins out on long trips. Any BMW is going to drive and handle well. Some days I regret not...

I formed more of an opinion based on that ridiculous implied threat to rcasey. He should report him to the moderators. Or maybe take him up on it.

I think brighter, whiter lights add some measure of safety, even in the back. I'd say the proliferation of DRLs bears that out. Since I now have a one-month-old riding in my X5, I'll take as many...

Affect steering geometry? Do you have some hard evidence for that or are you repeating often-quoted forum axioms? The sport activity model (which is what I have) comes standard with 10" front and...

I was going to go with platinum gray until I saw them all side-by-side on the lot. That is the best way to decide, imo.

I like them. Are they the same diameter as the stock tips? I would like something slightly larger than stock. The rear bumper seems to have some extra room for it.

I've gotten 25.5 MPG during extended interstate driving, and that was with around 4k miles on the odometer.

Since the front overhead lighting consists of one center light and two map lights, I would assume 1.5 pairs means 1.5 x 2 = 3. Very strange way for them to word it.

The definition of "poor college student" has apparently changed since I was in college/med school.

Very nice ride. It's amazing how much better the painted door trim looks vs. the original black.

Where did you get your spare and how was the pricing? Like many, I wish I'd ordered it at the outset.

I already know my tire size; they are 255s all around. If you want to know your rim width you should probably use a tape measure rather than assuming your rim width based on the tire aspect.

I just measured my rims, and the are all 10" wide (actually about 10 1/4). Perhaps you can measure yours and see what you get? I was told they were 9 in front, 10 in back as well.
