Went to the local pick-yer-part for a LR door seal. Found a good one on this LCI 4.8is, which has this kind of unusual interior trim color and door panel inserts. Gorgeous blue paint, still shiny, but obvs some sort of catastrophic failure sent this former beauty to the boneyard after it sat for a long time.

Wonder if it was some kind of Individual order or a special edition... anyway it's in Louisville KY and still has the pano sunroof. Seats are gone.

I found a shop with 3 new radiators for the e53 4.8is.

Unused, never installed for $295.00 USD each. I'm not sure how much it would cost to safely ship back to the US, but it's possible to do if the cost stateside makes it worthwhile.

My 2 aftermarket keys cost $145.00 USD for purchase/cutting and programming.

Has anyone had any issue with driver side tail light bottom bulb going out frequently? I have to give it a little magic touch and realign the bulb before it happens again?

I probably need a new light itself but anyone have a DIY remedy?

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

Contacts fail and it overheats and melts the plastic that holds the contact making it exponentially worse.





I drilled out the melted stand off/ stake on, bent the metal to make a stand off and installed some self tapping screws. Lasted the life of the car.





If your e53 is old enough it won’t have pins to light up the 21w filament on both lights. Add a jumper in these two places and get 4 brake lights vs. 2 (and still have lights on both sides when a lamp fails). It’s a miracle I find those photos I’ve tried half a dozen times when it came up I couldn’t find my post because I didn't make a thread.

Looks like Serb404 has a 2004, so this brake lamp mod doesn't apply - the LCI has single filament lamps in all four locations.

The fix for the failing lamps holder DOES still apply!
