Well, after a summer of meticulous hand washing, I took my X5 through a touchless car wash yesterday. We both survived. A compromise to convenience, in winter (it is now below 0 degrees centigrade in Toronto). Anyway, my nieghbour told me that the force of the water cannon in the touchless car wash can break the seals on the front headlights. I can't believe that is true, but have any of you guys heard anything like this? [???1]
