I had to do the same once in an AutoZone parking lot when out of town at a tennis tournament. Nothing more embarrassing than pulling into the hotel valet in your freshly washed imola 4.8is only to have your window not go back up. :rolleyes:

Often that won't go up is the bottom bolt got loose and the window will derail at the back. A couple pieces oi strong tape like gorilla tape can help lift the back of the window for a quick temporary fix. ; you can also pry the window forward but that method is a little risky so I've recommend the tape solution

So I just spent half the day trying to figure out why my side mirror won't hold after some f#### pushed it in at the parking lot. Is there any way to program the side mirrors to open and close automatically? I tend to forget it half the time when I park. I tried to look through BMW Scanner 1.4, but couldn't find it anywhere.

Fixed the intermittent bulb out warming again with a new bulb carrier and some solder. Seem to have to do it every 2 or 3 years.

So in the past 10 days or so...
Replaced expansion tank, cap, RR bag, air compressor [emoji3060]

While still smiling over the great result of my ABS rebuild and the subsequent need for new pads/rotors all around (yes, racer syndrome..LOL)...I headed out yesterday got 3 blocks and the engine goes into failsafe and stalls in the middle of a busy road. Got it to restart and immediately it stalls again. Finally, I used the "two foot" method to keep up the RPM and get it into gear and out of the roadway. Grabbed my Foxwell and saw a MAF code P01012. Limped it back home and took off the MAF and cleaned it several times. Cleared the code, reinstalled, and went for a drive. CEL popped up again with P0102. Disconnected the MAF/IAT sensor so I could drive it and ordered one from Pelican. That's what I did for the Silver Streak today. LOL

Put LED fog light bulbs in and used the IBUS app to set them up as DRL's. They look great! Super bright. 6000k light at 48000 lumens.

the transfer case for the x5 is about 1600 plus 300 for front drive shaft at northside imports and install cost me 600 i am happy with the results.... i am now need to replace speed sensor or tranny and maybe the yaw sensor not sure ... i did pan service and oil cooler thermstat and cooler replacement. to see if the that will cure the fail safe mode because fluid is too hot and cause me to be fail safe mode after 2 hours of driving

I noticed a bit of oil on the fan in the engine bay, found a messed up connector on a hose that connects to the air intake of the engine. Am I right that this tube belongs to the PCV system?

I also changed the cracked logo on the hood and buffed out a scratchy spot that I stupidly created while revoving a giant bird poo (I basically live in a seagull breeding area at the moment)

No doubt. Luckily they give signs that failure is imminent. Both of mine that failed (both fronts) made clicky cracking noises for a few raises before dying.
