Happy to help out. Here's something you can hang out the sun roof.

Finished up the replacement of the rear brake lines that rusted through under the door sill cladding/panels. Replaced all the rear brake parts and rubber lines, suspension arms, and clayed the wheels and cleaned the wheel liners.

I am now at 60K!

Yep, 60,000 miles the steel coated lines under the driver's side floor panels (under body) rusted at the plastic clamp points just behind the front wheels. All of these lines will go. It is just a matter of salt and time. Ocean spray or man made spray on the roads. This X5 NEVER goes out in the rain or salt. Every line I see on these E53 has pits as the spray on coating used at the factory is compromised. see examples at: https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...ine-check.html

congrats. Here on the East Coast they salt daily in the winter if rain is predicted. Meanwhile it has rained for the last 3 months, so I am converting my X5 into a V8 Ark driver. A side effect is that you will be able to buy watermelons by the ton this year. No flavor just size.

That is super sweet! Can you provide a link to the modified firmware? Mine only gives me the M logo but the accept screen is still present!
