Pop Quiz for the Wrenchers- Oval Nut/Plug on E53
Got some new rails in and redoing it all. Found a 6mm oval socket. Is there any 6mm oval head fittings on the E53 Ehhh, probably catagorize it as the Misc and put them next to the drain plug sockets |

Changing my answer! I think the stems for valve seals are 6mm, but they're not oval. Anything on that size stem would have to be larger.

For the fellow weekend wrench warriors, WTF do you do with your excess.
Save it for a rainy day or purge. I've been purging all sorts of sh1t lately...simplyfing. |

What I do with it to make it gone is up to the item. Oddly enough, I have had incredible luck selling previously worn shirts on Ebay. Who knew? I had two items on my shop counter for most of last year. I searched Ebay for similar items and under priced them by 10-20%. They sold within an hour.

I only sell high dollar items...not worth the time and bs between ebays commish and PP...and then shipping.
OT, but Ebay's - Paypals policy is all in favor of the buyer... 180 day return policy with PP, the list goes one. I've been with Ebay since 2000 - so all the rules/games I'm well aware. Got stung on a $2800 sale, but via arbitration, got it back. PP policys are all fuged. It's like giving someone 179 days to rent a iPad Pro and then submit a return on day 180 Last edited by jsoto; 02-22-2017 at 10:49 PM. |

As for the cheap things, those are the best! I use FedEx's free box, ship the item using online tools, and charge the buyer for reasonable shipping. The entire process including drop off requires 10 minutes if I catch a red light on a special trip. I tell my wife that if I found a $10 bill in my shirt pocket at the office every day, I'd have the best job in the world! Hell, I may even actually go TO the office! Next time any of yous have something that will sell fast for $10 and don't wanna deal with it, send it to me!

I haven't come across any oval bolts on the x5.
I keep all my obscure tools. Excess parts though I sell or just end up giving away. The tools though, you never know when you'll need them again and you'll be glad you hung on to them.

If they are small and a somewhat common wear item I will put them in a small freezer bag (thicker plastic) and keep them. Orings, window regulator parts, trimp parts etc.

I have a tool bag with all my misc wrenches and tools - and 2 full socket sets, I try not to keep too many "extra" things on the shelf if needed -
My detailing shelf though, along with my towels, is starting to get out of hand, I should really start washing the cars more with how much stuff I end up accumulating -

I had to buy the special tool for removing the rear wheel carrier ball joints for $300+. The universal tool they sell on Amazon and Ebay doesn't work on X5's. Of course they tell you it does. Trying to decide now if I should sell it or hang on to it. I hate getting rid of tools. I had some combo wrenches I wasn't using stashed and they came in handy when I did the rear suspension refresh.
