Like Andrew, when my alternator failed, it took 2 rebuilt Valeos before finally getting an off brand new one (from Ebay of all places) that worked. Fun times.

Past years I have always bought good used pump from ebay and never had problem. This time I bought new aftermarket and it was no good. I loaned pump from a friend, which was 90% good. Bought used pump from ebay and no problems.

I think I was finally able to purchase an OEM seat cushion for my passenger comfort seat. I got the foam for the drivers, OEM Schwartz Nappa seat covers for both front seats, and a new drivers seat switch a while ago. I was getting ready to have the seat upholstery changed and realized I would like to get new foam for the passenger too. Boy was that a challenge. All the BMW sites showed stock but they are drop shipping from BMW and the part is now NLA. Found a new old-stock and if it's real, I'll get the upholstery refreshed and it will look almost showroom inside again. Next is the dumb vent clip fix on the sunroof so it will vent again and lock down properly when closed. Can't wait to get rid of that damn rattle. Still weighing whether I want to pull the engine and trans and have a full rebuild or just do all the usual upcoming maintenance. I'm just thinking that if I have to tear the engine down as far as the timing case for the guides...I might just as well do the block and top end rebuild too.

I looked into the Infinity 20mx mids a while ago. Mounting holes are smaller than oem in the dash, but since they are smaller an adapter might be possible. Anyway, here is a diagram comparing the sizes of each. Gray is the BMW dash mid. Light green is the infinity.

As any E53 owner who has to do a regulator or DHC will have to deal with. Had to repair some door panel clips/plastics. Even for ones that have not broken I like to outline them with Permatex black gasket maker. Makes for a permanent prevention of failure (so far). The clamped part had already come loose so got the "pookie" under it and then secured it. Checked it today it's nice and solid again.

New Wiper Blades
I installed new wiper blades. Deep in the back of Walmart, where they sell the customer returns, were 2 Michelin wiper blades that fit the X5. They cost about $5 a piece.
Not bad considering I paid $45 for basic Bosch blades yesterday for another car. -Stuart |
