      Lol! @Rekpoint would probably offer $4k with a straight face. For now I'm planning on keeping the E90 too and storing it over winter again this year. It's a fun little summer daily and can't bring myself to part with it.

          Really prefer the look of the all aluminum silver key fob casing, so I swapped the circuit board into a new casing. It’s a bit tricky to get the physical key cut on these, so just reused the bottom section for now.

            X5 was on 145k with original drivetrain fluids, so with the help of @Rekpointwe changed oil, front diff, rear diff, and transfer case. Fluids actually looked surprisingly clean for the mileage, but nice little peace of mind.

            Still have trans to do, but saved that for another day because it looks like a damn pain.

              That transfer case was horrible to do.

                I thought that one wasn’t bad. I bought a long piece of really flexible tubing for my fluid extractor so I could stuff it down the fill hole. Worked really well.

                  I think the worst part for us was just getting a tool on that fill plug. We had quite the interesting contraption to get it lol

                    Took the X5 on a trip up north to Mille Lacs Lake for the weekend. Being able to toss all our crap in the ski box and have the whole back open for the dogs was awesome. Only put about 1k on it, but loving it so far.

                      Ohhh yeah. I bought the special wrench tool for those after reading about how tight it is. Which made it an entirely non-issue.

                        We used a hex socket, a wrench and another wrench for more leverage.
