I was able to do some driving trips for work in my X, and subsidize a parts order with the mileage reimbursement:
New BMW driver's door lock actuator New BMW shifter boot New tension struts and ball joints for the front (figured out this was the source of my clunk) Mileage reimbursement is up to 65 cents/mile, which is enough to keep even an E53 X5 running. Looking forward to finding some time to put all of it in.

Replaced the driver side door window as the original was really badly scratched from grit in the outer wiper seal. Can't believe the difference it makes to the look of the car..

Installed a new center support bearing and CV joint on my driveshaft. Man, what a complete pain this thing is to remove. The rear flange on my 4.8is was tucked way under the stupid exhaust heat shield, unlike the pelican parts how-to shows. Had to drop the exhaust to wiggle the heat shield out of there and despite having no rust on my car, the driveshaft was seized pretty good to the rear diff so that took a lot of coaxing to get it off. I was only planning on replacing the support bearing, but when I removed the driveshaft, I noticed that the CV joint was really gritty feeling so I decided to replace that too.

On the m54 the starter is on top. I can't remember where on the v8s. If you have trailer hitch it has B+ on it you can slow charge but it's fused likely 10-15a You can open the hood though the kidney but you need to cut a small hole in the skirt around the radiator

I tapped a concrete pillar in a pitch black parking garage while reversing at maybe 1 mph... Which of course pushed the bumper in enough to cause the end of the bumper cover to pop off at the wheel well. Great
