and having replaced the tires in the rain, i have no problems with smaller donuts, it is much lighter than the rear ones... those are too heavy for my tastes...



PS: however, I loved that both my E34 and E39 had full spares in matching rims...

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

Just ordered some new tension struts and ball-joints for the front-end. Hopefully this will make the "thunk" go-away! It's not making the car drive bad - it's just bad for my OCD.

Found the best pricing for Meyle-brand parts on eBay. $121 each for the "HD" arms and a pair of ballpoints for $60.

Free shipping too!

Damn sweet. Give us details. How much, what year, mileage? Once I get my wife a new car. I am also debating getting an e39 M5 and moving the X5 to someone else.

I see Enthusiast in Cincy [source of my E53] has several sweet E39 M5s for sale. Out of my price range, but mighty nice.

Pre-Owned E39 M5 for sale

I wouldn't mind a low mileage E39 540 [or even the straight six 530] with a stick as an alternate daily driver. I regret letting the CEO talk me into selling our '98 528i manual, silver on grey, a great car ....
