Rebuilt air suspension pump. Super easy 15 min. Job. No more susp-inactiv message and ride is 100% better. Raise and lower switch work now as well. Best $30 I've spent on the 4.8

That crazy Aspherical ebay mirror where you can see everything.

It trips you out, I don't know if I like it. You now all of a sudden have tons of activity in your peripheral vision, in heavy traffic. My brain needs to adjust, or else it'll wind up here for $25.

And OE rear bumper protection strip

Now this is cool, it's thick, plastic/vinyl material. Now that I think about it, I don't think it does much, unless you actually step on the bumper, since the tailgate folds DOWN. LOL wtf.

and i poked around under the hood at my cam sensors, this thing has intermittent low end torque problems.

^^Keep it on for a few weeks bro, trust me you won't want to get rid of it. I was a little bit weirded at first but after 2 weeks I was in love.

Just to further reinforce it, I put them on my wifes 2014 JSW TDI and after a week she was like "omg I love these mirrors so I can see people!"

Thank you X5 for another fun weekend of labor!

Replaced my windshield on the MT I bought last year. The thing looked new but I think the dealer installed it wrong because it started to leak when I went through a car wash that uses the brushes. My glass place said they could try to fix it for 20.00 but no guarantee and said they can try to remove to and reinstall but 80% chance it would break. So I replaced the perfectly fine looking, but leaking windshield for a new one for 224 with tax. It is green glass and the same manufacturer that makes BMW OEM glass.

I guess I can also say that I got the top windshield strip replaced with the price and since mine crumbled at the slightest touch I figured the deal was not too bad.

Ugh. I was excited to get my crumbly top weather strip replaced as wel but sucks I'm almost $500 in windshields now...

Fixed the rear washer valve, opened the panel, took out the valve and unclogged it with silicon spray...works just like new.

Opened up, cleaned and rebuilt the air suspension compressor....although I'm converting to standard suspension next week.

No money spent on any of above fixes....aint that something.
