The Q5 will hold just over 1000 lbs of bricks and still drive ok. Only like a 10 min drive so it was pretty easy. And that diesel torque makes it easy to get up and go even fully loaded.
Also, after cleaning the valves on my N54, replacing the pcv with the upgrade from RB, and an oil change, im running 15-20 degrees cooler on the highway and getting 19 mpg city. Decent jump from the 16-17 before.
Also, my dogs a burrito. That is all.

1275 lbs payload, so unless you are 300 lbs it ought to have no troubles

Yea, I wasnt convinced the glorified A6 Wagon could actually handle it. Also, the door sticker claims load rtating is only like 1,050 or so? not sure why the difference form that 1275 payload rating. thought that was weird. Since yea, 1000 lbs could literally be 4 ppl.

Well, go by the door sticker over Google but yeah. It’s still got better payload than a Wrangler, so you got that going for you

Also, your door sticker is still 10 lbs more than a ram 1500 ecodiesel 4x4 limited so there’s that too

Rb turbo makes a metal replacement for the plastic bmw parts bin they used in the n54. I did a lot at once so idk if I can attribute it all that part, but there seems to be less blow by now at least.
The idea is the bmw part fits like shit, and causes minor leaks as it gets older. The machined part fits really well, and I think it stabilized my boost levels, but i have nothing scientific to base it on. I recommend googling “RB Turbo n54 pcv” and I think both threads I read through pop up.
