Speed Sensor
Pull the wheel, remove one allen screw and disconnect wiring. Here is a DIY link

Auxiliary water pump shouldn't be more than 2 hoses and an electrical connector

For aux water pump worth checking if you can refurbish it with just new brushes.

Are those manually adjustable? The headrests? I too have comfort seats and loved the one's we had in our e60. They were the active type.

I think that is one of the upgrades I am going to do if I find I can get the active seats to work.

I moved my X5 out of the garage so my son could start his 1JZ into e30 swap.

Outside of electric headrests they are manually adjusted...

Some years ago I was seriously thinking of retrofitting E7x comfort seats to my E53. It's not plug and play and those seats are still quite expensive on the second hand market. Seat rails would need hacking first. Then the electric side needs more work because those newer electric seats require K-CAN control. So you would have to install emulator between older K-bus and newer K-CAN. Not sure if anyone has actually done this.

I haven't seen or sat in those seats, but I sure do miss those e60 comfort seats. I loved the auto bolster feature. You could really get snug in the seat for spirited driving then it would open up so you can easily exit the car. Awesome feature. That would be the one feature that would seal the deal for me if I could figure it out.

I actually missed out on a set that was in the local pick and pull. I found them in an e60 and were in remarkable condition. I started to pull them and couldn't figure out which motor moved them front to back to get at the last bolt. Well, life happened (read work) and when I had a chance to go back, someone snagged them. Worst thing was that they were $40 a piece!

Comfort seats on E7x and E6x are pretty much the same. From a different decade compared to any E53 seats.
