In addition to the wheel sensor, get a new connector case for the wiring harness because when you go to remove the wheel sensor connector from the car wiring harness the plastic connector will crumble.

This has me worried... lol I have no indications of a failure or anything, but when I shut off the X I do get a clicking noise from somewhere under the middle of the vehicle. Do they make a carbon fiber gear for our cases like they do the X3's? We bought an Mtech X3 that had a carbon reinforced gear replaced in it (receipt provided by PO) and thought maybe they offered the same thing for the e53?
NM, did a quick google search, turns out they do offer the same thing for e53. Awesome. I guess if I start to get symptoms it will the first thing I look at.
