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

[mam4.6]

Fresh oil change, and diagnosed a faulty left rear level sensor as the source of my SLS Inactive warning, via DIS...

I think you meant to post this link: Mic Tuning USB socket

Great mod! I also found this: Round Dual USB socket which I might retrofit to the rear passenger lighter socket.

Cool stuff.

New upper tailgate soft close latch for the 3.0.

There goes the budget for the Mosconi 4to6 DSP processor I was planning for. :/

Bought a set of these today . Still unsure if I should sell them or keep. (OEM E70 Spec) Spent a good 3 hours cleaning / waxing 'em.

Future Michelin Super Sports on the 4.8is does sound nice though! No mounted pics until Bimmerfest

FINALLY installed rear footwell lights. I'm wondering why it took me so long.

What! I thought murdered out was still cool !

These were an obscure craigslist find, so I'm still very indifferent on whether I should keep them or not. I love 215's but I'll decide once I test mount them.
I'm still leaning towards a sale.

The rears are stupid heavy with these RFTs .

I am with you on this but to each their own.

Washed it and vacuumed out the interior. Ready for another week of schlepping the dogs to the vet (2-sick dogs at one time is not fun...).

Pics of old and new angel eyes (finally):

Kirk I hope the pups are ok - my boy just had to go through 3.5 weeks of radiation on his shoulder after we had a cancerous tumor removed in February - now he goes for his 5 chemo treatments to be sure any cells on a microscopic level are gone for good and he can live out his senior years happy and healthy (he is 9.5 years old now, American Bulldog) - thankfully the type of tumor he has is a locally invasive type, at our vet oncology dept we see dogs with lymphoma a lot and that cancer is just everywhere in the body and they have to go for like 20 sessions to buy an extra year or so - will keep your dogs in my thoughts
