There are very few BMW models/years that I would actually classify as "turds." The e53 is not one of them. BMW's do not need you to stick up for them, they need you to maintain them properly. Then everyone who takes a ride in your car/suv/etc will marvel how well it drives, handles, and is constructed without you having to say a word.
Well I worked on every repair on the vehicle including:

Front Suspension overall
Water pump
Thermostat
Blower Motor
Alternator
4 window regulators
2 door handle carriers
Fuel Pump and Filter
DISA valve
Belt and pulley system
That dosent even include all the electrical gremlins I fought for years, Even sold it with the Key FOB and many minor issues.

I also did every oil change, Tune up and brakes my self.

Sure the motor is still running but its leaking like a sieve and I can hear the lifters pinging like crazy.
