Tell me about it. The left one gets dirty by just looking at it. The right one remains quite clean.

My SA tells me it'll be about four hours since they're busy. Not a problem, I had my laptop with me. Four hours later, the X5 is ready and I get the bill: $1,150. I inquire, thinking it must be a mistake. Cashier tells me "you wanted two new rear MPSS tires, right?".

They straightened it out eventually, but that was one hell of a misunderstanding!

Deep clean following another massive road trip. Also finally got to do some updates I've been waiting on - gloss black roundels, front/back from IND, gloss black "X5", also from IND, and debadged the "xdrive 35i" from the sides, finally, gloss black wheel center caps (not so obvious)....and the last touch, the "X5" gloss black plate frame (pretentious, yes, but who gives a ***t other than me!!). Oh, and i took off all the wheels to "free" them from the insidious corrosion on the hubs...a bit of neverseeze; seems like a problem BMW should be able to engineer out....

Oh, and by the way, this was my "mother's day gift" to wife

It's too hochu for me and for some weird reason, (I used to have jan build 2015 x5 50) this x5 July build 2015, suspension feels like a boat compared to my older one.... this one is springs only, and I don't know what I had before..... so even my wife said, why are we in a boat!

No more Run Flats! The wife ate through them things in just over 10,000 miles!!! She did the same thing with our E70. It came with Run Flats as well and 10,000 miles later when I replaced them I switched to Continental Extreme Contact and never looked back. Doing the same with the F15
