2014 X5 Build Thread: ZDH 35i
Hey all! Just picked up a 2014 X5 35i to serve as a daily driver and occasional tow rig.
I actually purchased the X5 from a classified ad on here. I am the second titled owner. The car has a really interesting story, it began life as a BMW press car hence the interesting spec with M-Sport, ZDH Package, and Dakota Leather without the executive package and a lot of the technology. Vehicle:
The first order of business will be to ensure that all of the maintenance is up to date. Luckily, the first owner was meticulous and didn't leave me too much to do. Surprisingly the suspension remains in fabulous shape at 104k, no sign of worn control arms yet. The struts appear to be in-tact without any leaking or obvious crashing. I drove the car over 17 hours from St. Louis to Vermont without a single hiccup. In the last 25,000 miles - Both the transmission and transfer case had the fluid changed, spark plugs, coil packs, valve cover gasket, oil filter gasket, and both batteries were replaced. Upcoming maintenance items:
Planned Modifications:
I am certain this list will grow...

I'm not missing too much of the tech... comfort access and CarPlay would be nice to have. I might add both down the road
