And the requirement was AWD. Or it’d be an E39.

I think it's time to toss the x5 and replace it with something more you:

That's cleeeean. Interesting how much higher the bidding is on this than on the M3 swap that was up on Cars and Bids a few months ago.

Well. Don't like the state of the wheel, so that'll need replacing too. Sigh.

Is it a runflat? How did it drive enough for that wear and not blow out? And how did you not notice?

You'll have to ask Kobi. And no, not a runflat.

I know it had air when she left Gettysburg.

I'm very confused as to what would cause a new tire to look like that

That. And then driving on it totally flat for however long it was that it took to wear away the sidewall like that. And with the car so tilted that it actually threw a fuel level sensor error.

Let’s hope the transfer case is OK.
