Nice write-up!!!
I did notice though, in the original write-up, that in the trunk area, next to the TCM, in the battery area, there are three plugs used for the PDC control but I did not see the actual PDC module. Does it mean that the E53 is pre-wired for the PDC module? I know that most US spec BMWs are prewired for the CD changer, and was wondering if that is the case for the PDC as well. Thank you

very interesting - most folks are trying to get something IN to the car, and some folks are getting things OUT...
like my wife said, girls with straight hair are making them curly, and the girls with curly hair wished they had straight hair... lol... humans are very strange bunch...

some observation points to some earlier posts - in most countries that the rear fog lights are required, they only call for one side, usually the side where passing happens, in other words on left-hand drive cars it is on left side. the opposite spot is used for reverse light, so it is possible to see a car with a red lens on left and clear lens on corresponding right side. higher end cars go for dedicated fogs and dedicated reverse lights. I believe the TUV (or is it DIN?) standars calls for not less 10cm distance between the brake light and the rear fog light (if in the same cluster).
Also, in my other E53 ('06 4.8iS) with adaptive lights, i plugged in euro switch that does NOT have a little green dot light next to auto lights. The adaptive function of the low beam operates as NORMAL, so the presense of that green light should NOT affect the adaptive lights - they move up, down, right and a little to the left.

it looks in the photos like the wire run from the tcm into the tailgate is a single solid copper core not stranded cable. single core cable will break eventually from fatigue where it flexes when the tailgate is opened.
The reason only 1 foglight is used is so that in foggy conditions the brightness of the fogliht can overpower the brakelight, so only having one foglight means that at least 1 brakelight is visible. not so much of a problem now we have high level 3rd brakelights but still done by some manufacturers.
