Xexilia started, ran, and drove today!

It would appear it doesn't like extreme cold, much like my 528. very hard, very loud power steering whine at start up this morning. But temps were colder than -20*. Did I mention I hate WI right now?

The trifecta lights and EML came on again today, this time while coasting with the cruise control on. At that point cruise control did not return. I work a lot of freaking hours so probably won't be able to have my guy do the testing any time soon. I will likely run it to the parts store on the way home though to see what their OBDII scanner can find. The CEL alone might be enough.

Parts update:
Lock Cylinder is out for delivery today
Hood release and heated seat switches should be here tomorrow
E70 wiper is somewhere in Europe
BMW Scanner 1.4.0 is somewhere in China

Beyond the trifecta, I also have no cabin heat. I had weak heat upfront when I brought it home, burning heat in the rear. I can't get any heat up front no matter what settings I use. I need to check it for air and top it off. Fingers crossed that I am not going to have to deal with cooling system stuff right off the bat!

Projects I'm contemplating:
AUX-In install
Subwoofer install
Running Boards
Roof Rack
Off Road LED bar

I am interested in looking into mods for better fuel economy. I have read that a tune, and 3.64 diffs are simple mods. I would like to boost the 17-19mpg I have now up to 21-25mpg. I drive mostly highway, so with the cruise working it shouldn't be too hard. Other than general maintenance (filters, fluids, belts, tires) what do you suggest? Hope someone is enjoying these posts.
