I figured I would introduce myself before people wonder who the hell this annoying guy is posting on threads

I recently aquired a 2001 E53 with the 3.0 inline 6 with 178,000km and I love it.



Got the vehicle off my Uncle for a good deal because he upgraded to an 07? X5 with the V8 and 55,000km lol. His loss is my gain

Main reason for me getting it was from the M54s CCV system popping the old engine and replacing it with a used unit that had 50,000km less than the old one, he figured it would stray people away from buying it privately.

Car needs a bit of work, so I found Bavarian Autosports and ordered their front brake kit, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, throttle body gasket and a neat little 1L oil suitcase lol. (gaskets are for me to inspect/repair the current CCV system lol)

Anyways, thanks for creating this forum, found a lot of useful information like the window track zip tie fix and headlight removal (I thought there'd be more to it!)
