There are vents in the headlights to allow for cooling. When it is humid out and rainy, the moisture in the air will get through the vents and fog up the headlights. They say that after turning on the Xenon lights, the heat generated should remove all condensation. When we noticed the fogging, the condensation didn't disappear after a 25 minute drive with the lights on.

I don't recall needing to hold the brake to turn on the car on our E53. Sending the E53 into reverse is also a push back from P to R. Only from D do we push forward. I guess these 2 complaints are only out of habit, a habit I've had and I don't even drive!

Finally, I can't believe I forgot about the torque! I had another draft typed up with this detail in the "like" section, but my computer froze and I lost it. I have indeed felt the torque, as passing speeds rise much quicker. Overall, we drive much quicker because of the increased power and quiet drivetrain. I'll add that to my list!
