Nitrogen
My X5 came with Nitrogen in the tires. What is everyone doing to maintain it or replace it with regular air?

Regular air will do. Nitrogen is not necessary unless you are tracking the car or racing. Especially if you have to pay for the nitrogen refill. I fill mine with regular air from my compressor that goes thru a air dryer to remove moisture, a little more extreme, but still not necessary just anal LOL. Removing moisture helps prevent any corrosion inside my alloy wheels.

Had regular air on my PCD delivered X5. I keep one of these handy in the trunk:

Nitrogen is widely available for free at any Costco Tire Center. It's free for anyone whether or not you're a member and many locations allow you to self serve, some will ask you to wait in the car and they fill it for you. Varies by location.
