What's broken on your E53 today!

Thanks will do. What about the compact spare? Saw them on BMWUSA for $1500 haven't been able to find one for sale any where else.

94csi snap on the bouncy stops.

I forgot about my mirrors doing the E.D 209 shake

Electrical,
If I don't make much progress by the end of July I will take it to an Indy. Plan to drive to Barcelona (1800-2000 mile round trip)in October so every things needs to be sorted before September

Could be a fun thread, subscribed. Still have that stupid ass alt bracket leak. No time to deal with it yet.

I have a sight "clunk" coming from the back end, been driving me nuts. All new front and rear suspension parts. I have checked the tailgate and does't seam to be coming from there. I only hear it on small bumps. Also just got the P0155 code, 02 sensor has been ordered.

Just thought that it would be good if people could post links to any other threads they have relating to their issue so we can keep this one fairly brief and light hearted

Discovered the rear seats won't adjust (electric rear seat back adjusters). I'll be looking at the Bentley manual to determine which fuses to check (please let it just be a fuse...pretty please!!!!).

Not the X5's fault, but the headlights are starting to cloud up a bit... Might have to polish and UV protect them in the near future.

Remember if you have the window lock on, the rear seats will not adjust from the overhead console. Try the switches in the cargo area.

Replaced the "Auto" button that kept falling off of the climate control panel with a new one from IHKA buttons. Easiest fix yet...

Thanks! You saved me a lot of time and frustration in a 100 deg F garage!

Mine could use a front suspension bushing refresh for starters.

I need to fix my driver side window regulator. It gets stuck when rolled all the way down, and I have to wedge a screwdriver in the rear to get it back up.

I need to fix my AWD. My front diff is disconnected. The PO had the BMW dealer do the clutch, and 2 of the bolts are missing and 1 is broken off into the input flange of the front diff.

Speaking of the clutch being replaced, I have no idea why he didn't have the shift detent springs replaced when the trans was down. This needs to be done and would have been really convenient to do at that time.
