Nothing yet! It seems that from my research the Invisihitch is one of the best options for the X5. It looks like you have to do a little cutting work to the rear diffuser, but the trade off is that you don't have some huge tow hitch hanging below your bumper. I think it's also rated for 6,000lb tow capacity.

Thanks man! Yeah, here's one of the damage. Airbag did go off which is probably a big part of why they totaled it. But wise from the hood, bumper and bumper suppor, the damage barely even touched with radiator and FMIC. So sad to see her like this But life goes on and I can't tell you how nice it is not having to tote around spare parts and spend the equivalent of a full time job every week troubleshooting various quirks and issues.

The main reasons i hate it Unreliable $3500 in repairs in a year and a half thank god i bought a warranty N55 has all the same problems as n54 except wastgate rattle Fuel economy is 17 mpg mixed driving Drives like any other crossover suv If your going to have a bmw it needs to drive like a bmw because why pay to fix something that drives like a ford edge Worst car i have ever owned by a mile |

The N55 is why i went with the diesel: mpg, the tq given it is heavy, not like the n54, etc. I haven't driven many other crossover suvs but what I like about it is it drives almost like a sedan vs. a truck. maybe that is the same for all crossovers? I like how it handles but have limited other experience. If you dislike it so much what are you going to buy instead?

Great memory, you're correct. Last year we were rear ended on I-290. This year I swerved to avoid a car that slammed its brakes right in front of me and collided with another car. I like to think that we got all the accidents we'll ever need out of the way for the rest of our lifetimes

Please be careful, me thinks you're on your 7th life now Either way, I'm very happy to see that you walked away with your life and body intact. Hopefully I'll still be seeing you around, despite the fact that you have an X5 now. You were a great asset to community, especially seeing as how you were one of the few vocal purchasers of the MMP Stage 3's. Enjoy your new vehicle in good health and again please be careful, lmaoo. I most certainly don't want to see another "thread" from you again.. at least go through an entire year first P.S: We have the same engine now! |

And I figured that the X5 would be a good way to get a nice big/safe vehicle given how this past year has gone with the 335. That said, it took one whole week until I had a Stage 1+ MHD tune on her. Perhaps I should throw on some PI and Pure Stg 2's as well?? |

I respect Pure and everything they've done/are doing for the community, but their offering currently pales in comparison, for what you pay for, with what's only a few months out... if that. |
