In celebration of my 1100th post here, I'd like to thank all who have helped guide me thru our mutual journey into E53-land, and state my hope that perhaps my sharing of my trials, tribulations, and many missteps may have helped others, and kept many from making similar mistakes. I'll say anything I believe might be useful, try anything (automotive) that might work, and report the results of such ventures, so you can see what not to do.

Right now, my X is down, and I've been ill (so's the wife), and the repairs scheduled are on a back-burner, therefore I'm reading and commenting on several forums, just to keep my hand in.
