I think I remember a friend of mine posting the craigslist ad for this car before you obtained it, it was in pretty rough shape, but it looks like it has a owner that know's what the hell they are doing now!

Good work saving this x7.

PS: I'm very jealous of you grey velour interior, I want it instead of my burgundy leather soooo bad.
