  1. Thanks! The only differences are this one has heated rear seats, and it doesn't have ventilated seats or a HUD like the 2011 does. It has all the good stuff that comes with the premium and cold weather packages though. Gonna start on paint correction and detail today...
  2. Come on over to the Waupaca Airport on May 11, 2024 for some wings and wheels at this year's Badger Bimmers Spring Picnic!!! We will have use of the hangar, and food will be available for purchase. (Or you can bring your own) Parking will be on the grass, we'll be sure it's mowed and level before you come. Any questions, let me know!! Hope to catch you there!! https://facebook.com/events/s/badger-bimmers-spring-picnic/1507363836828817/
  3. A couple of years ago, I was at a friend's party when I saw this X5d roll up. Intrigued, I found out the owner was the mother of my buddies wife. I got to chatting and found out she bought it new, and had it meticulously serviced at a local BMW dealer. I asked that she was ever to sell it, to let me know. She firmly said she doesn't plan on selling anytime soon because she loves it so much. Well, in December she called and said she is finally getting a new vehicle in the springtime. We worked out a deal to purchase and I brought it home a week ago. It had a CEL for the glow plug module when we picked it up, and knocked some money off.for us 😁 It is emissions in tact, with a recent DPF replacement. I immediately checked the coolant temp and found it to be at 158. 🤷🏼‍♂️. You would think a dealer would check this..... Otherwise it needed absolutely nothing.... This lady brought it to the dealer for every little thing, with over $14k in service work in the last two years, with a total of all repair receipts since new of $38,844.42! 😳 Off to Cascade German Parts and FCP Euro I went and filled up my shopping cart with a thermostat, glow plugs and module, gaskets, swirl flap delete, coolant flange, and a pcv hose. I went to work this week and got it all fixed up. I don't plan on hitting a pothole until a problem comes about since everything is new. CBU was surprisingly not bad considering the 145k miles. This will become the new garage queen, with the potholed 2011 becoming the daily. Sometimes we get lucky!!
