Haha - I just saw this thread after doing a
write-up in the 4.6/4.8 thread.
I can't say I had any E53 adventures per se, but it's been part of a ridiculous year. In 2016 I bought a house, got remarried, blended my kids with my wife's and traveled constantly. The X5 has been part of all that - hiking trips, endless Home Depot runs, moving multiple households, school and grocery runs, showing the kids how to maintain a vehicle. Neatly interwoven in the fabric of a crazy year.
Here's looking forward to getting some stupid fun out of all the work I put into it this year.
