i never had to replace mine in the 4yrs i had it, same with the e90.

If it makes you feel any better, I think the factory Toyota battery's rated CCA is something in the 300s. It was pretty wimpy, but it survived a solid 5 years and harsh winters before it gave out. I never had any issues until it hit -20 during the winter and that's when it decided to go, "Nope. Not today."

I don't think it even has it on the passenger door

Doesn't your key get charged when you stick it in the BMW hole?

X5 has proximity access now where you don't have to touch the handle to lock/unlock. It's suppose to lock and unlock as you approach the door/leave the car.

It would explain why they would cost cut the handles since most ppl don't use them anymore.

That hasn't existed since the F chassis generation.

Patched a big nail type of hole in my silverado, I'm guessing the nail came out once it was flat. Flat 10 ply tire was loud, survived a couple blocks driven on flat, tire was hot but not visibly damaged. I got the flat friday afternoon in the bad rain, stopped to put on spare in front of a firehall. I hoped nobody would come out, nobody did. I was thinking I would probably help somebody if they had a flat in front of my place.

Also changed a front bearing in the TSX today, the bearing was fine but the magnetic encoder failed. Figured I better do this before the bad weather starts. Fixed a side skirt rattle while it was in the air. Best beater ever.
