Saying Goodbye to the E53 in a few hours

Any tips on how to cope?

I just spent $600 replacing front control arms, and it's about 1k miles away from being due for Inspection II... I can no longer justify the expense. On my way to ATL yesterday, I got a "DSC Inactive" message. Reset the DSC computer, but it kept on going "inactive" once I approached 70-80mph. The engine oil pan is leaking, the transmission is slipping, etc.

I have loved this car, maintained it to a level most people would consider insane, and will miss it.

I was able to get an "emergent appointment" at a BMW dealership in Atlanta at 7:30 this morning - and I've all but decided that I'm going to trade it in on a 2008 E70 3.0si... maybe keep it for a year or two, and then dump it.
