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

Also if it doesn't work when you pick a speed then go back and try other locking speeds. I know on my different bmw's some speeds work and some don't.

My wife loves auto-lock. I can't stand it. Personal preference "convenience" I suppose.

Changed out my park brake shoes this morning. Not a bad job, but I took it slow and repainted my rotor centres while I had them off the car. Cleaned up the calipers a little too.

Not very impressed with BMWs park brake shoe adjustment method. There should be a small hole in the disc backing plate (with a grommet) that allows for easier adjustment than the BMW method via a wheel bolt hole. It works but it would be so much easier via a hole in the back plate. Getting at the hand brake lever adjustments isn't easy either - you will need a good set of metric tube spanners for this part (9mm & 12mm).

Replacement shoes were Bendix BS5099.

I agree on the parking brake adjust holy crap. I changed mine and my wife's rear brakes recently and all four brake shoe had worn into the rotor on the inside of the drum actually Anakin pull the rotor off because the brake shoe was up inside. I believe I had to actually bend you the dust shield to get in there and adjust that sucker.

Sunday I finally was able to mount my underseat emergency kit
Sunday I also replaced my cabin air filter. I love how it’s so easy on this truck!

And today I get to have my drivers side window regulator replaced. I’ve only had to replace two so far, passenger rear and drivers side front.

Rolled the window down, never came backup lol.

finally got around to upgrade 20" style 87 rims. and lowered the car with

H&R lowering springs and bilstein b6 shocks, in the process replaced shock and strut mounts and seat bearings.

Awesome look isn't it? Did you get the flares yet?

Lowered on BC coilovers and also did style 87 wheels...

[amancuso]

Looks like 87 wheels here are the M-Pars of the e53 world.

Yes I truly lucked out found a guy with 4.6is parting out front (4.8 Nose) & Rear bumper along with running boards and flares. However I am waiting for him to get them off his car still.

Your car looks real nice with those wheels and lowered.
