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

[Joshdub]

Snow tires, floor mats, and a roof rack. Other than that I just do routine maintenance.

James enjoy the new Depos it's a hell of an upgrade!

Honestly not sure how old the CCV system is in the car, but it's working fine, and there's very little build up under the valve cover too lol.

[Jack_James]

OH! Also, speaking of winter...steel wheels! Kromag 9960, is this the right model for the X5? Thanks again guys

What silicone do you recommend, and what lubricant do you use that doesn't stiffen during winter?

[Ricky Bobby]

Matt I use Einszett Gummi Pflege on the rubber door seals and weatherstripping.

For lubing the door latches and handles so they don't freeze I use the DuPont Teflon Multiuse lubricant available at Lowes for $5 a can.

I use dupont teflon non stick lube for hinges and door handle mechanisms, then I use 3 in 1 silicone lube for the weather strips.

Thanks for the recommendations, RB and puddinboo. I'll give them a try...

[Jack_James]

just careful it's not petroleum based or it'll swell the seals lol, silicone is best.

Sanded polished and sealed the headlights . Worked so well on my beater CRV I gave the X the same treatment. Sealer was made with 50/50 minwax helmsman spar urethane and mineral spirits.
