I bought a new regulator from Amazon. Not sure what brand it is but it's something fairly cheap and generic. This car is just intended as a Top-Gear-esque cheap challenge car, so longevity is not...

Got the X5 back in my hands and hooked up the Schwaben/Foxwell scan tool. I found the menus to test both the AC compressor and aux fan. In both cases, the tool allowed me to "activate" the item and...

Right - should have used more words, I know it doesn't run all the time. Guess I figured it should have tried to spin given the hot days we have had in the DC area lately.
I will try to find the...

One thing I forgot to mention earlier is how I tested for a working LCM. This doesn't seem to be documented well, but a BMW tech shared the test. With the key off and lights turned off, remove the...

This is absolutely hilarious but I fixed the cluster problem. I noticed everything would start working if I pulled the handbrake fairly hard. I could flip on a turn signal, pull the handbrake and...

I had everything hooked up and kinda sitting in my lap to test (and it's all still sitting like that, hah). The mounting frame is butchered for sure, but the MID is still not getting power. I will...

I figured they could be low on juice. The car hasn't been driven much all year, based on the limited records I have. Once I get the MAF/O2 replaced, I'll start driving it to work for a week or so and...
