Find a good indy or DIY them yourself. $1700 is preposterous. It's a straightforward process but you'll run into issues with space since everything is so tight in the engine bay. You're going to have to undo some stuff to allow for extra room to shimmy the hoses out.

Helpful video with good intentions but a little misinformed. There’s no need to remove the air filters from the air box. The whole unit pops off. They’re only secured by push down grommets. I also recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery because you will probably have to disconnect some sensors to get extra space. If you decide to remove the black cover that the DME cables are clipped to (again, for extra room to meanuever), theres a ground screw on the passenger side rear corner. I touched my screwdriver against the screw that mounts the intake boot against the turbo and it sparked. Ran and disconnected the battery right away LOL. Better safe than sorry.

good luck with the project. I've moved on from the X5M, but it was one of the most enjoyable vehicles i have ever owned. I traded for a GLE 63S and kept that for 2 months. Now have settled in with a Cayenne GTS

The earth cable mentioned is on the back of that black cable tray, where it bolts to the engine. Do Not Forget to bolt these back. Also the +Terminal that cause the spark mention above is this cable. It is live, put a rag/be careful around it or disconnect battery. |

Thanks Bobby, I have the CCV and intake boots. TBH, Little nervous to start but does look mostly straightforward. Never is the first time, but I think I know what needs to be done. I am hoping it fixes the oil leak, maybe wishful thinking.

OK. Having a bit of a problem. I got to the rotating the hose CCW on passenger side, but I am not able to turn it far enough, it is hitting the hose bridge. Do I need to move the bridge somehow? If so, how? I did see in the above video that he did move it but he did not give any instructions on how to do that.
