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

[gatojurko]

Installed led high beam lights H7! Of course with error now! No possible to install retrofit because of location of plugins...have to unprogram signal and that is it!

I used this TCX H7 COB LED in my High Beams and have no errors

Yeah, I think you have to be sure to get Canbus or "Error Free" bulbs.

I swooped some iS front brake calipers for cheap. Now I need to rebuild them and find some rear calipers.

Replaced my hood shocks/struts on my 5mt. No more having the hood slowly go down in cold weather. Took about 5 minutes using a thin pick and straight head screw driver for the clips.

I like Josh! iS brake upgrade would be great and very OEM+ on your X!

On that note, I did the pads and rotors on my 4.8is this weekend and ran into a problem - the right-rear caliper carrier has a stripped bolt hole. Replacing the entire caliper was faster than buying the carrier alone.

That means in the next couple days I'm going to have a spare RR caliper from a 4.8is with one stripped bolt hole. PM me if you're interested.

I'm looking forward to it. I am also going to do brake lines. Do I remember you saying that the original brake lines on ours are braided ss with a rubber exterior coating?

I was also looking into the brass slide pins, but I can't seem to find ones for the iS calipers.

Damn, that can be pretty frustrating. I may be interested in it. I'll PM you.

Im looking for some advice! I just got my E53 4.8is back from a service appointment. When I arrived they handed me a piece from my oil pump that they found in the oil filter. It is the oil pressure relief valve. Now, they want nearly 5,000 CAD. to replace the oil pump. Im wondering how important this is, and if i can drive without it? To my understanding its not important until i need it! but i don't full understand its function either. Any one that does?


Thanks!
