She still loves it.
I figure we're only left with the fuel pump and total VANOS failure still. Oh, and I guess the coils will all go bad eventually. In the mean time it'll go through several more rounds of rear brake pads (forgot to mention earlier the 14k mile replacement interval on those.) |

Don't feel too bad. I had a late start w/ kids. While you're enjoying retirement I'll be dealing w/ a teenager. Did you have a 28 or 35 loaner? |

Congrats. That price is a steal for an x3 with the n55 engine. Enjoy.

Apparently there's some defect in the circuit board for the lights. I found a diy to resolder some capacitors and whatnot, maybe I'll do that next time. Haven't done the Walnut thing yet. Add that to next year's bill. |

I had the 2.8 and really thought it was a great car and could totally see living with it as my everyday car (I知 pretty sure I posted a pic of the car here) ... I would love to have driven the 3.5 because that must bring a great car to a whole new level !! Enjoy and i知 looking forward to seeing some pics ... what color combo did you get ? |
