Still within “shit don’t break” for bmws.

60k is when I had to do the OFH gasket, valve cover gasket, and it's still throwing a CEL for the waste gate actuator, but is driving fine.

$170 or so in parts and a little time. NBD.
The actuator is $240 if/when it need one and I have the scan tool to adjust it.

It’s not a turbo/manifold replacement sitch? I know sometimes they are integrated as a single unit

The actuator is a separate solenoid. Earlier versions were vacuum, the X3 is electric.

The worst of it was cleaning up all the oil. Bleh!

The vacuum pump removal is kind of a PITA. But, it's doable with some contortion and clever tools.

Thinking of replacing the center console with a wireless charging one.

I get annoyed every time plugging it up and taking up the entire drink holder.

I figured since it already has Bluetooth, those seems like an easy life upgrade. Just throw it down on the wireless mount. I’m in and out a lot and I hate cords

The CT4 has one similar to that, take a left or right too quickly and the phone becomes a projectile.

That one has some more holstering but something to consider. I'd read the reviews.

Just poor German rubber my man. Melts in heat. It was in rough shape when I purchased it and it has only gotten worse

Was all that Covid-era hand sanatizer.

The X3 door handles are starting to do the same thing. The rubber is turning into this sticky goo, it's gross.
I'll look on Amazon for a fix, great idea!

It's still the subject of one of my all-time favorite car photos.
