Exactly. It's good in every chassis they put it in. Plus it's cheap and easy to work on (relatively by BMW standards). But I do appreciate the N62 power vs. the M54 in the e53 chassis. At least with the auto gear box. We had the M54 in an E83 and wished it had 40 more HP/TQ.

Glad the trip was uneventful and the vehicle lived up to expectations. Enjoy bringing it back up to snuff, and we will eagerly await pics.
