Just Finished installing a set of the BSW MB Quart speakers and front JL Audio tweeters Evolution C5-075ct. I popped out the old tweeters from the OE mounts and installed the new JLs and custom secured them. I have to admit I am very impressed with the sound quality improvement by going this route. There is a new degree of clarity and even more depth from the MB quart woofers. I picked up the BSW/MB Quart speakers from another board member that parted his X5 out. While I have the door panels off I installed 2 new vapor barrier seals and epoxied some of the door panel clip mounts. I had terrible debris in the front passenger door where I found a piece of the old regulator that the previous owner left in there. Had a rattler on the driver door where a new regulator was installed but failed to put two of the 10mm securing nuts on the regulator. So now she is tight and rattle free.

Just got a new set of pads for all 4 corners for the Brembo's. This should be the last set of pads on the E53. Going to squeeze maybe another 18 months out this E53.

Boi oh boi. It's nice to have ~options~ for the 8 pots up front. Options as in different make/manuf. When I did my 1st pad change, I think I paid almost 7 Benjis for all 4 corners. This was for the FM100 compounds if my 'ole memory recalls
