    Another awesome story!
    Also, having played the “BMW whack a mole CEL game”, I know two things are certain: these cars will always have a new fault light on each time you start the car; and secondly, the moment you’ve had enough dropping cash in to fixing it and decide to sell will be the point the new buyer has zero issues for the next 3 years. Or you can just never get it fixed to the point someone will buy it. Had a trunk actuator and the sunroof fail on the same day the buyer of mine was coming to pay for and pick up the car. Needless to say, I had to renegotiate to an even lower price on the spot.

    This story reminds me of the Cuban "businessman" (from Miami) who purchased my '94 Viper back in '04.
    We met (on a Sunday) at a Hwy exit Subway sandwich shop in Naples Fl (midway between our locations) so his mechanic could inspect the Viper.
    After the car cleared the inspection, he removed his "fanny pack" and handed it to me.
    We proceeded to sit down at a table in the Subway, where I count and stack over $40k in non-sequencial 100s, 50s, and 20s, totaling my full asking price. The cash was packed so tight it was difficult to remove.
    He wanted his leather "fanny pack" back, so I loaded up the cash in the pockets of my cargo shorts.
    Currently, my favorite "road trip" vehicle owned is a TitanSilver on Blk '03 BMW X5 V8 Sport Pkg/Cold Pkg/Prem Sound Pkg (HRE staggered '19s/Vred Ultrac Vorti tires (summer), OE square 18s/Conti CrossContact tires (winter)). It has over 210,000 miles and EVERYTHING functions correctly, no check engine light, and still has original timing chain guides.
    Full disclosure........I spent OVER full book value of this X5 on repairs in 2019.
    Still can't bring myself to sell it, such a pleasure to drive. Like driving an E39 540 Sport while sitting 1' higher.

    Did convert the x53 X5 also, they don't go crazy if you cut wires, I had to extend every single wire under the dash because I couldn't find a wiring harness so I had to make my own.

    I have an E53 X5 and it’s great. We’ve had it for 14 years since it was new and it never ever let us down (about 209,000km). It was never pampered. Yours must’ve really been a cursed car... Or mine is just blessed. ;)
