Wife has I don't. I would definitely be ok with doing the retrofit.

On e38 it's best, because it actually gets quite warm compared to newer steering wheels.

I found the e53 got too hot, wife's new e70 is perfect I can leave it on.
I do love having it but the n63 more than heated steering what makes her car the most fun.

Today I got more driving and testing and this e83 steering wheel heats up quite nicely too.

It's been a whole week. The GMIII is still out for repairs. The repair tech says it should ship back on Monday. Since it was not too cold today, I replaced the power steering reservoir and hoses. The OEM clamps were ditched for better ones. I'll have to pressure wash it again later. It was pressure washed while the alternator was out. It needs another good underside wash. Hopefully, all the two major oil leaks are fixed. FOH and old brittle hoses.

Daylight savings is bullshit





The weather has been well into the pluses (15 celcius when I took the picture) and I've been getting some wrenching done on all kinds of vehicles but the getting dark early is a HUGE pain in the ass.

Pro tip: Don't use black sockets in the dark

I have definitely picked up Impact sockets in the morning.

Hi BCRed... sorry for the obtuse message before - you're right, I have a bunch of heat/ cooling related error codes; I finally found 'the easy way' to extract the report from INPA!! (although the temporary .txt report files were in the BIN folder, not the SVGDAT....)

I did run the German through Google Translate...

I'm ordering the CO test kit as Andrewwyn recommended - hoping it stays blue... but I noticed for maybe a year that if you accelerate hard and keep the revs up for any period of time, there is a burning oil smell briefly afterward. I'm wondering about the head gasket, unless it's just the smell of gunk under the engine getting hot

My family car got into a bit of a fender bender. So the X will be assuming the duties of full-time family car as well as taking us on a road trip. Good thing I finally bought those snow tires last year! I will be able to put some miles on it and maybe break my all-time mileage record.



Best mileage was 22.7mpg for a full tank this summer, but that was at 75-80 mph. I am going on a road trip on rural highways with a 55mph speed limit so we will see if I can top 23mpg. Challenge accepted!

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

Which motor? I have done 23 on a round trip about 350 miles much of which was on hilly 55.

I used cruise and watched the mpg meter. Going up hills I tapped down one mph when the mpg got to about 15 then on the way down the hills I added mph every time it got above 30-40.
