 Already did my hoses, waterpump, T-Stats, expansion tank, fan clutch, etc... about 40K miles ago - don't think I will have to touch those for another 40K miles or so.

Didn't work on the X5 but wrenched on the gf's e46 doing the M56 valve cover conversion. Went pretty smoothly so looking forward to doing it on the truck.
Taking out the old CCV was a pita considering it has nowhere near the room the X5 does.

It's more than likely that the brushes are Just worn out. I just replaced my slip rings and brushes for $20   In response to the question of where all the carbon goes: the design is open frame and in my case most of the carbon apparently ended up in my fingerprints as I disassembled the thing. Noticing that only one side of the slip ring wears I'm thinking of reversing the polarity on the regulator brushes to flip the wear to the other side and add 50-100,000 miles to the lifespan of my wife's alternator. I believe I figured out a simple way to do the flip and of course will share if I can pull it off.

got into a little accident a couple weeks ago. i was rear ended on the freeway, hit and run. Damage was not too bad to begin with so i decided to try to fix it myself. i have never done body work before but ive always wanted to learn the process.
          it is not 100% perfect. bumper reinforcement was slightly damaged and it is hard to source a replacement that will work with the tow hitch. so i did the best i could to straighten it out. overall i am pretty happy with the results. it feels good to be back in the E53..

So sorry to hear about that, but your end result looks amazing. I see you got LEDs too, they look amazing.
About how long was the whole fix? Quote:
