I need to do the same soon... I should have bought them when they were "only" $200/pr. $315 is starting to approach the cost of another headlight...

I finally ran the microphone wire up for the Grom bluetooth adapter. Finally I can call people with this thing. I am pretty impressed with the Grom to be honest. The only downside is its price.

Well where can I get one?? The E46 3.0 fan doesn't fit the larger radiator on the e53.

A front Aux Fan... why? I think the design of the E53 with N62 engine and electric fan system did away with it and there's likely no wiring for it.

I 'spose you could add an aftermarket thermostatically controlled unit, if you are seeing overheating etc.

I purchased them 2.5 weeks ago from BimmerJakes directly. They initially shipped quickly, but have been stuck in NYC for the last 8 days.

I'll post up pictures when they arrive and post any blemishes (hopefully none!).

I'm also having Lightwerkz modify my headlights to upgrade projectors, and maybe do aftermarket angel eyes. I'm hoping to check them out when I drop off the lights and see how OE they look.

Was replacing the window clip and had the door panel off leaning against the wall, the wind blew and knocked it off and scratched the inner pull handle. I had just replaced mine not too long ago and now it’s all scratched up again....FML

I ordered on Friday, so they will probably ship this week. We'll see how "fast" they arrive.

Cool. I never understood the covering of plates. They are public record.
