And thanks to photobucket for rendering my writeup near-useless.... I'll re-host the images and fix the links one day soon...

So JAXX5, bit late now but did your new thermostat sort your temp issues?

Yes it did. However, unfortunately I to part ways with my E53 recently. It started showing symptoms of a pending tranny failure. I replaced it with a CPO E70... so far so good.

Tranny fail safe mode and some times no gear selection. It had a upwards of 150k on it so I decided against putting anymore in it.
