Thank you to everyone on the forum who has been a resource the past 11 years of my E53 ownership. This past Sunday I decided to let it go, and go a direction literally no one who knows me saw coming. A Subaru.
I got 9 grandkids now, and they're all local and I really needed the flexibility of a 3-row, and boy howdy an X7 wasn't in ye olde budget.
As I get older and closer to retirement, and my shoulder is more and more annoyed with me when I have to crawl around and under things, and my work life continues non-stop, I found I was less patient with all the hassles that pop up. I decided to move on while it was in good running, riding, and driving status. Even with the pros on fun to drive and operationally sound, i traded it in with a check engine light (evap system) 2 warning lights (the English lighting computer I never could get my software to talk to after I installed it), a sunroof that went from opening to just "clicking," and 3 of 4 windows that operated randomly because the window regulators and clips would slip or stick. And yeah, it was like an old friend you know well, but sometimes it's just time.
Even though I haven't been active on the forum lately, I'll miss the various discussions and debates I've had with many of you.
