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

[Fifty150hs]

40psi??!! I'll bet it rides rough.

It's a bit harsh.. Correct psi for the rears is 35 anyway but fronts should be 30. I think I'll soften them a bit to see what it's like.

If you're running low-profile then that higher pressure is good or you can crack rims on harsh roads....

Ask me how I know

LOL! Centers of the tires worn much? It cracks me up, some people read the maximum pressure on a tire and think that is the pressure they should fill the tire to.

Actually the tires were too new i caught before wear pattern.

However they were terrible tires the cheapest tires one could buy like $65@. I couldn't believe how terrible they were and was so happy when we replaced!

For me it's more a matter of "It's hotter than Satan's taint and humid and there's no breeze so this can wait" lately. So far nothing is urgent enough to change my opinion on that. If it turns out that I do need new O2 sensors I will gladly pay to have that job done.

Oddly, the SES light that keeps coming back that led me to think the O2 sensors were failing? It came back on a few days after I cleared the codes, and I left it on planning to take it to the shop next door so they could pull the codes too and give me an estimate, and today the SES light went off just after startup like it's supposed to do. Weird.

Aged cats can cause this. I've used defouler to resolve in numerous cars

Went out in the rain to manually take lights out of "auto". The left amber light was on for hours. Oddly, the fender LED lights were off. A neighbor called telling me the lights were on. I accidently left the turn signal lever on to that side. It was not flashing but the light must have come after I locked it. Once the battery is fully charged back up, I'll turn the 'auto" light feature on. All the lights did turn off. All signals and lights work normally. All this after three days of almost constant rain. The right side carpet and firewall are dry. The roof vent drain is working properly.

European parking feature, although I don't remember of it only turns on the corner lights front/rear or if it includes the side marker. If it's supposed to, does the park light feature bypass light relay?
