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

[hypnotiqdmg]

Drove to VA for my little brothers HS graduation, hit 20k coming back through Charleston, WV.
Also got pretty decent gas mileage, around 19mpg. Filled up in VA went 421 miles and took 22 gallons to get her full again.

That's around 19 MPG for that tank of gas! If you were doing a solid 85 MPH down the road, I would say that is pretty good. I would barely see 18 MPG if I tried to do the same in a 3.0i.

Went to dealer to get airbag light reset. He told me it was due to voltage drain. he said my amp is the cause( amp = 500 watts @ 4ohm 1 speaker lol) he also tried to tell me had it wired in 2ohm producing 800watts lol) I know my setup. He siad the x is throwing a series of low voltage codes and thats why the airbag light keeps comming on. ( REAL REASON- I lifted front seat with out properly disconnecting the ground when I did my rear heated seat mod/investigation) the low voltage was because the battery died while working on it. I had to jump it when done. plus the battery is an 06.. and then all the wire testing I did with POTS probably through low voltage codes to. He charged me 60 bucks to reset the light. TOld me to unhook my amp and see if light comes back on.. I laughed so hard on the inside. Especially after I pulled up all my specs for the amp and speaker and my wiring diagram. I still think i was raped for 60 bucks.

I was pretty surprised as well! Just highway with minimal stops. And right around 80, 85 except through the hills of WV.

I was saved by my windows 7 phone yesterday. I was barely able to get a couple shots off of my 95k milestone. That phone doesn't require me to unlock it to activate the camera. I will be a lot more prepared in 5k when I hit the big milestone.

Installed yellow high beam bulbs and blacked out kidney grilles

[Dubai_Andy]

Fully tinted the car... all done by 3M. 30% sides and rear, clear front and 80% sunroof.

All done in the name of heat reduction. Get 50% from all the tint, apart from the windscreen which is only 40%... but hey, it's clear!

well i finally hit the big 5-0 ------ see pics
