Not sure what you have in mind, but check with MrBMWX5 -before- you order anything. I quick-ordered for a sale price, wish I hadn't.

two weeks, 3k miles later.. raced the obligatory mustang, both MT, won (quit at 60 in a 45 zone, I don't need any more gendarme experience). Learned that bugs can be measurably deep. Learned that an iPad is a Much better GPS experience. Learned that xMotion don't know squat about car-wash locations in Greenville, SC. Learned that Dancer really likes curvy mountain roads. Learned that the iPad with the boosted-treble EQ setting thru our business audio doesn't suck, sounded damned good thru the DICE for all those miles. Learned that the iTunes Normalization feature -Doesn't-. Learned that an iPad on downloaded maps can still SLURP battery and die at inopportune times, ~5 hours GPS and local music. Learned that Pandora on an iPad offers Much more information than you can read about the current band within the length of a song. Learned that 93 octane makes 3.0i happier than the 91 he normally gets (no 93 here). Learned that betting on a horse can actually pay you more money than you bet (Keeneland). Learned just how good summer tires are in the rain in the mountains.

Ended with the Inspection II that I put off for the trip, control arms before the trip and a long-postponed clay-and-meguiar's detail to remove all traces of his road punishment.

priceless.

Had to put more axle grease and new ring around the front left CV (inner) boot. Is it just me or is that damn clamp too close to the frame section?!

Told BMW to kiss my ars with those new key prices and fixed my own...

Thanks to the awesome contribution of Mrbmwx5 and RichiRich:

Cutting the bitch open was pretty easy, just take your time:



I opted to not chisel out the welds:




Battery out, ready for new one:





New battery - $13 dollars
New key - $260
Savings - $247
Doing the shit yourself - Priceless!

I don't care where it was posted previously, but I got mine from here and on here it was posted by the the members I mentioned above. It worked and helped me and that's all I care about.
