Hi folks, just completed my first 2 mods on my beloved e53 4.4i. One thing is still need to address is CV axle, is there a DIY on this? plus the x5 shakes when accelerating slowly but it only shakes temporarly. I think this shaking and the clunk noise are both related to cv axle (i had replaced cv boots couple months ago).
Notes on installation:
Headlights was a straight forward install. Just had remove the four screws and trim on each headlight. The P53 i bought for Aus$600 shipped were already modified to take D2S bulb so no problem there. The leveling motors seems to be working fine.
Skid plate was also very easy to install and comes with everything you need. The only thing you have to be carefull of is the drilling. I drilled holes exactly the same size as the diameter of the self sxpanding ram nuts provided. I did not use any super glue and so no problems.
