What did you do to / for your E53 today??



That's pretty cool you got to it from above. A+

See above. I used the brute force method from below.

Also: I replaced the whole assembly so I didn't have to disconnect from the filter. The hose to the sap valve didn't fight me at all.

This is an AMAZING DEAL. I have all of these doubled so I am not ordering but I paid WAY more. LOVE these wrenches!

Cool Routine work

I had the local indy BMW wrench ( https://www.hanswittlerautogroup.com/ ) replace the motor mounts and radius rods in the front end (the rubber bushings were shot) in my wifey's X5. Total bill was about $1100. It sure idles much smoother with the new mounts. I had the work done week before last and promptly drove the X5 to Vegas and back with the wifey for the Thanksgiving holiday with my kids. I got the dreaded 4X4 and suspension inactive warning twice but cycling the ignition cleared it. My BMW guy wants to reflash the entire system (as he put it) to try and fix these intermittent faults.

If you bought e53 it's at least 14 yr old. It will require constant upkeep but not necessarily that difficult nor expensive.

Example. Wife's X5 alternator just quit output voltage at low RPM. I refurbished mine two years ago same problem $20 kit to replace the slip rings and back in business.

Search awr-fix: in title to find the repair for left tank sender unit
