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

01 03 BMW E53 x5 LED Halo Projector Black Headlights RH LH | eBay

These are the housings I'm using.
I'm going morimoto matchbox 2.0 and 5000k for high beam and fxr 2.5 and 6000k for low beam. And halo rings to match from morimoto too. Replacing top glow bar with phosphorus lighting tube , blacking the chrome shroud on the stock cover too . Iv built up a few cheap headlight set ups with morimoto systems and customers are over the moon.

I'm a fan of the materials you are using for the install but not a fan of those housings at all, I hope you improve the looks somewhat on those with the finished result! Looking forward to the progress

8 liters of Moble 1 0-40 and a fresh BMW filter. A good wash too!

Finally changed out the fluid in my pre-Xdrive transfer case with Mobil 1 Syn ATF. Both differentials next weekend with Mobil 1 Syn 75w-90.

Shopping for parts to refresh suspension. Should I just do bushings or the whole arms? I don't have hydraulic press so I am thinking the whole arms.
What's your suggestion?

[Ricky Bobby]

I would get the whole arms, only reason I would just buy bushings is if I was replacing with powerflex in the thrust arm.

I did full thrust arms, ball joints, tie rods, wishbone control arms, and front sway bar bushings (end links already were done by PO) when I did mine.

Details make all the difference on an install like this. It looks like they came OE.

Thanks, lots of fun and I really like the way it sounds, especially when I downshift.

They are controlled by a rocker switch at the back of the tray beneath the center console lid. How much they are open depends on how long I hold the switch down. When they are closed they completely seal the opening, absolutely no leak. I already had Dinan exhaust but there was still to much back pressure when I hit the nitrous.
