There are tons of E83 X3's on the road. They just don't post in forums. Most issues can be found on 3-series forums, since they share the same platform

Pretty small list, if you ask me.
Basic suspension and cooling system stuff.
A few hoses and sensors.
Any car will need that stuff after 100k miles of driving at 17 years.

I knew there was a catch.
I don't have the INPA/ISTA fancy software installed.
Just PA Soft.

If so, post what you bought.
I think bulb size is H11.

Thanks. I think the mixup is that I have an X3. (The X3 forums are filled with bitter cranks, that is why I also post here to learn common issues) X3 does not seem to have that panel.

Wet carpet. Removing rear door panel. Resealing vapor barrier.

Did this on my X3, thought I'd share it with X5 guys.

Noticed a wet carpet in the rear seat on the driver's side.
Opened up the door to inspect.

I verified the door drains were clear.

Special trick to removing the brake fluid reservoir screen?

I tried grabbing it with pliers, but it just gouges into the plastic.
Any special trick?

Just got my 6MT gearbox fluid changed.
Added Redline MTL.

I stripped the 8mm hex fill plug.
Tip for removal, use some heat, if you have it.

Took it to the shop today

The pro first hammered an 8mm hex into the hole.
Tight fit, so the hammer he used was like a round metal rock.

That's because you're using your stands incorrectly.
In the photo of your red car, the jack stand saddles are parallel to the jack block.
This is dangerous and the car can slip off.

It's both.
Next time you jack the front, go look at the rear wheels.
They will have rolled forward.
Depends on which has more friction, the jack wheels or the rear tires.
Basic physics. :D

However, when the jack is maxed out, you're right, the car has rolled forward a few inches.

The car moves backwards and you need to keep repositioning the stands.
