The wife and I feel naked when below 3 BMW's in the driveway. Currently there are 5. At least 2 will be ready to go at any one time.

Absolutely....I have five BMW's with the M54 engine, including 2 E53's.
I think an E53 almost requires a back-up E53...It sure is handy having a few around. A couple of times recently I wasn't sure of a fuse layout behind glovebox or the routing of a vent hose in the engine, so I just walked over to other X5 and had a look. |

Does your wife know that there are 5 BMW's? Just asking in case you fall into the pool with that concrete cooler! Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

I've been told on a couple separate occasions by the tow truck drivers around here (as I'm getting a tow myself) "Oh yeah we get BMW and Mercedes all the time!" |

Im crying, that is funny as hell! 🤣 My wife continues to tell me that I can never get another BMW - ever! And I keep telling her good luck with that. I honestly think I’ll keep my 05 forever and probably add a 2013 5.0i to my collection at some point... yea, I know that have their issue... but EVERY BMW I’ve ever owned, starting with my old 318 has had issues. But damn they are fun to drive! Sent from my iPhone using Xoutpost.com |

LITERALLY just finished typing that The wife and I both have our "habits" so neither one of us can point the finger at the other without torching ourselves. There's a certain comfort in that... |

I try to remember to take pictures as I go along but there's been many an occasion that the one thing I need to get a good look at isn't clearly visible |

It took me about a week or so to clean and FULLY dry out the carpet.
I used a combination of Super Clean at 5:1 and a set of Amazon drill brushes for the bulk of the carpet cleaning and aside from one stain that is exactly under the passenger seat everything else came out. All of the removable carpeted panels were also scrubbed clean as well as the plastic trim pieces with Super Clean at 10:1. I normally use Lexol to deal with the leather, but these seats were filthy and the Lexol cleaner wasn't very effective so everything was scrubbed clean with Super Clean 10:1 and then followed up with Lexol leather conditioner. Now that it's all said and done, I can't figure out what the hell I did with the progress pictures I took with the carpet out. That's why I get for trying to "organize". Maybe they'll turn up, but until they do here's some pictures of everything back together. The lighter spots is the sunlight |
