Why Mr. R? I thought Pilkington was the first "go-to" for replacement on our E53?

Not today, but yesterday I replaced two ignition coils, changed the oil and filter, replaced the hood and liftgate struts, made two ramps out of a pair of 10' 2x12's, and installed a new battery... busy day.
I also tried to completly fry my eeprom with a ham handed attempt at re-coding my temp gauge. But I got saved by Overboost.

Not quite, 293,850. So I'll be at 294K by wednesday. I have to drive to the office the next three days. That's a 160mi. roundtrip each day. I'm guessing around May 1 I'll hit 300K. If we last that long!

Dropped the truck off this morning to have Xpel done. Hope to have it back Thursday or Friday. First time it's been driven on a public road in over 2 months. I can now confirm that the loose suspension clunk I had from the front end despite having all new components was due to a loose front tension arm bushing bolt/nut. That was the only one that took significant turning to reach torque spec... I think it was a full turn or more. Truck feels VERY tight now.
So with the garage empty I did some sweeping and decided to work on some small things. Got the rear emblem mount plasti-dipped and used a couple of coats of glossifier for a slight shine. Also finished cleaning up a test wheel from the parts truck. The heavily abused 19" chrome style 132's. I'm not a YouTube reviewer or anything... but I am going to do a video review on Meguiar's chrome wheel cleaner $7.99 at O'Reilly. I was THAT impressed with it. Stuff destroyed a product 2.5x more expensive (Chemical Guys) which was basically useless. Check this difference out. Before: After Chemical Guys + agitation with boar's hair brush: After Meguiar's Wheel Cleaner + agitation with boar's hair brush: After 2 applications of Meguiar's Wheel Cleaner: Total cleaning time per wheel with Meguiar's would be about 20 minutes in this condition. I used to spend 2 hours on a wheel that looked like this and not get as good a result. If you are interested this is the stuff and is made in different flavors for chrome, aluminum, etc but I'm sure they are all fairly similar: Upon searching for that image there are already some YouTube reviews out there... maybe I'll skip that. But this stuff is GOOD.

Wow, that is impressive. I'll try to pick some up tomorrow. O'Reilly's right down the street from work.
Thanks for the effort and the pics, looks great.
