Today I finally took off the BMW OEM bug deflector that has been on our X5 since 2004, what a difference it made!

Dropped the original 3.0i rims off to someone who's going to be plastidipping them to a matte black!

Also took the 9 year old roundel of the hood as it was all cracked and faded, and replaced with a new one!

I then took the X to get a nice car wash after all this Canadian snow/salt :thumbup:

Had to go to Wallyworld and check for myself. Mobil1 0W-40 Eurocar LL spec is finally available in the 5qt jug, this is like getting every 5th qt free. Did an oil/filter change yesterday (filter from Classic BMW, $21.).

I was suprised to see it there too. Love it since I have Walmart 1 miles away. I bought (3) 5qt jugs to have enough for my bimmers. Their 1Qt is ~ $6.50, which is the cheapest around also.

Put the 12mm spacers on the fronts (20mm on the rears)... Pretty much the same offsets as Style 87's now :thumbup:

New DISA install
 
Today I installed a new disa valve in 5 min flat lol..... Will post link where they are only $189 new.. oem BMW part. Last week Indy shop quoted me $450 total. It could be in my head but I'm sure I feel more hp and torque off the line. :)
