That's the one

Well dealer screwed me on the next day delivery for the SAS. I had to take off for a one week run and had to pick it up yesterday when I got home.

One of the easiest projects I have ever done on the X5, 1 hour start to finish including coding and taking my time. Not sure why so many struggle getting the shaft off the coupler, a couple of taps with a punch and it came off with a slight wiggle.

Anyway, replaced the SAS, coded it to the car, cleared the code and calibrated. 4X4 light off and back in business. :thumbup:

Well 1st weekend of vacation is here and the White Witch is obviously not interested in our upcoming road trips!!

Leaking RR tire, RF caliper sticking (glide pins[emoji849]), high cluster ribbon cable [emoji28] and RR pass window switch just dropped into the door card [emoji2962]...

With the muslim holiday of Ramadan things don't open till 1700 and stores close around 0200 [emoji2959].

So I am starting on tire and brake issues and then the window switch because it rattles from touching the speaker and the wife will definitely notice it [emoji15].

I hope to make it through the upcoming session of rolling eyes and foot tapping by using my 100% hearing loss (left side only) to my advantage.... [emoji57]

Anyone know if adding a factory towing module to my 2003 (11/2002 build) will require coding to get it to work?

Changed the right front axle seal, put in a new axle while I was in there, Put in a new driver's seat belt, replaced the driver door speaker cover and put rear adjustment extensions on my BC Coilovers. I had to drop the stiffening plate to get the axle out. Put new nuts and bolts in, but didn't pay and arm and a leg for them. Bought them from Belmetrics. Six cost what one BMW cost. Same nut and bolt. Same strength, 10.9.

I guess when it rains it pours. I threw the E46 up this afternoon to give it its 6 month check up and found a drip of ATF on the rack boot. Inspected a little closer and sure enough, the right tie rod rack boot is full of fluid. :banghead:

Looks like another $1000 into the 3 series after just throwing $300 at the X5 for the SAS. I swear these two talk at night, I am guessing the 3 got a little jealous of the X5 getting some attention. :dunno:

Been trouble free for a solid year with a combined mileage of over 30,000 miles. Guess I shouldn't be too upset, I just wish the girls would space their needs a little farther apart.

Ouch!

Probably that damned 87 octane fuel :rofl:

:bustingup

That stuff seems dangerous..? :dunno:
