![]() Learned last night, the right wiper won't fold up off the windshield. ![]() At least the front left and rear wiper do. Luckily, snow was not frozen on. Brushed it off and broke off ice on the wipers. Easy start and fast warm up. Seat warmer on level three gets super hot. Level 1 is enough for comfortable driving. ![]()

My new to me heated seats in the e53 do seem to get very hot on max. 2 or 1 is fine so far. Much hotter than the wife’s 50e heated seats.
![]() Wish there was a big parking lot around me so I could have fun in the e53 today. I’ve played around with the Quaife rear end up in the snow in Iowa a bit, but it would be nice to experiment a bit more with it.

HA! Me too! I had all the streets to myself this morning. I hit the pedal hard a few times. Only once did the triangle light come on. I could feel all four wheels spinning a bit.

Mad that I missed the rare 6" snow dump in Louisville last weekend for this reason... when I lived in Atlanta I'd do donuts and handbrake turns in my old Volvo 240 the few times it measurably snowed there. I only did that in the deserted and vast work parking lot, not on the roads (which would be completely empty anyway because total PANIC aside from the usual bubbas thinking "if I keep mashing the gas then eventually it'll move!"

![]() There's a rack rebuilding company here and they have all the seals, rings and boots. I can ask if they'll sell the parts separate from the work if you want... Sent from Embassy network using Tapatalk

I can't see needing to do mine anymore so not so much for me but I know it's been discussed before so good to know there are possible options
