Replaced left front axle shaft and seal. The cv boot was torn and not sure how long. After reading all the tips/tricks here decided it would be easier, faster and definitely cleaner to replace the entire shaft.
TIP - be sure to have ALL the correct tools and parts before performing this very easy DIY. And never use a pickle-fork/ball joint splitter to pry out the shaft from the differential. You will damage the seal and be running to the local BMW store (which in my case was an hour away) to get a replacement.

Suggest you mark the day on next year's calendar and don't even start your X that day.

Did you have them re-brushed or just strip the clearcoat and clean with metal polish?

Yesterday was the first day of Fall, detail hand washed and treated all the plastic/rubber with Surf City Beyond Black (this stuff dries and does not attract dirt/dust). The Maguires Endurance would never dry and collect road dust, got tired of dirty pant legs from getting in/out.
In my book, the first sign of Fall is being able to fill the tank from E with Shell V-Power premium for under $80. Did that too!

That coming from someone who keeps their X as clean as mine means a lot, seeing your X at Cars and Coffee Dallas I was suprised there was another spotless X in the D/FW area (most have a thick accumulation of TX dust/mung in the wheelwells/tight spots) . Thanks.
Going to FL this weekend to look at an estate sale, 1 owner, '03 540 M-Tech 6spd MT with under 20k miles (climate controlled garage queen, ALL OE, even tires and wheelweights), family friend, I have 1st chance to purchase. Same silver/black as the X, should make the X pics look even better.
