Replaced Battery, it was original OEM BMW battery, 68k miles, garaged, Ohio winters, 11 years. Can't complain, died while in garage. Replaced with AutoCraft Platinum AGM Battery, Group Size H8, 900 CCA with 30% off online coupon found in xOutpost forums. :-)

Soldiered my tail light to fix bulb out warning

^ I did the same with my taillight also.

Got my 1.4.0 scanner in yesterday, so going to bring it over to my friends shop on the weekend and have some fun haha. Not sure what I'm going to mess with other than the DRLs, but I'm sure I'll find something haha.

Also random question guys. I changed out my wheels/tires last week and I noticed the rear suspension has play at the wheel, but requires a LOT of force to show signs of play.

It's only present in the rear wheels, it would feel how a lightly warn front tie rod end would feel. Slight play side to side, but the play from left to the right side are identical.

Any ideas? Am I smoking crack? :) lol

You might be smokin' crack, I can't see you.

There should be no play. How many miles are on the suspension?

Wheel bearings maybe? Do they make any noise while driving? Any loud humming (or even faint humming).

Replaced the battery with upgraded 790CCa. Everything is perfect for now. Goes to sleep and all that good stuff. Then, fixed the rear license plate light. Corroded over time, replaced it with a brass washer. Works perfect. Sealed all the electrics off in the handle /light bar too. Now onto the Steering angle sensor replacement and then maybe serpentine/tension replacement. Possible to do all drive train fluids too. Have a great pic but can't get it to upload.. sorry

Ive got loud humming, but thought that was my blizzaks :P

If your wheel bearings are bad, you'll know it. Your X5 will sound like a WWII bomber above 40 mph

That's why I was asking if he had any noise. My 325 is making this noise and I have both front hubs on order... One side will get silent depending on turning direction.
