Nice! I just bought my first x5 in November and it seems pretty similar ('11 35d, 100k, 3rd row, 1 owner). I do wish I had the running boards though, might have to retrofit those. Scheming for the style 214 wheels as well ...

Welcome back. But...

:worthless:

Maintenance goodies arrived. Fuel filter, DEF fluid (to have on hand), Oil filter, OEM motor oil.

Vehicle in for warranty service: NOx sensor code popped over the weekend. Glad for that 10 yr /120k mile warranty!

Received the tow hitch parts this afternoon as well, having a local indy shop do the installation end of this weekend or next week. Order the rear cargo lift bracket from rbryantaz , Thanks! And ordered rear rotors and brake pads for quick rear brake service.

I'd take care of this ASAP unless you want dead injectors

I actually checked yesterday (and will probably check today) as we have had about 2-3 inches of rain over last two days. I saw a couple drips on the intake manifold but I don't think anything serious enough (yet). I will continue to monitor, and most likely add some Buytl tape (83190000537). I believe this is also covered under SIB 513411 for 35d.
