Nice. I wanna switch but I kinda don't. I want more low low, but the Bilstein HR combo rides fukin perfectly, and isn't that old.

I'm about to do something stupid. Eyeballing an E65 B7. Pending PPI revealing more than I already know, might snatch it up.

^ one of the few BMW's I would never buy. Makes the e53 look like a model of total reliability by comparison.

Hahahah. Yeah. But essentially the same engine and transmission, and much much heavier electronics. Can't be that bad. Lol.

Sat in the car shaking my head, wondering why aftermarket window lifts are even available and why the PO wouldn't have bothered replacing the $5 plastic clip(s) that actually affix the glass to the lift?!

andrewwynn will become famous soon enough
Did your clip break or did the nut just come loose? Wife had a problem where window got crooked and wouldn't go up. It was the nit got loose and fell into the door.

Looks like PO replaced the lift with one from Amazon and didn't replace the cracked clip.

This is the 3rd window lift that I will have to replace that has been replaced by the PO.

The reason I know this is because he told me how great he was on maintenance items like the regulators.

Waiting to hear what the bill will be for the oil cooler gasket replacement from my mechanic while I am loading up the boxes of parts for brakes, rotors and front driveshafts and wondering if the X is really the vehicle for me.......
