No and that's what has me concerned...

Also my trifecta has made zero effect on the Witch. No limp, shift changes, etc. I plan on hooking up to the neighbors 740i and the other neighbors Maybach to test my foxwell this weekend.

You can find the pinout for b+ to measure obd. I'm not sure which pin is for OBD2 you can't feel trifecta unless you are on slippery surface won't affect performance.

Another bonus of the 710: self powered

I sold it. 2005 E53 X5 3.0 w/173k miles, spent its life in Northeast US... $4,000
I ownd it for 7 yrs and 50,000+ miles.

Needed to reduce the fleet of 4, M54-powered BMWs..The E53 was a quick sale. Sold in one day on facebook to the first person who came to look at it.

I'll miss how it looked, the ride height, the functional inside space, the roof bars and how it towed with the factory hitch and tow module.

I won't miss much else. I probably wouldn't buy another one unless it came from a rust-free state. I may buy a 2017/18 Mercedes GLE 350 4 matic w/ tow package later this year.

Will continue to participate here. Onward and upward!

Damn!

I never closed mine so it was same as the day I bought it but yours looks like it was worth the effort.

Sometimes you just need to chug on through.

If you’re going through hell … keep on going! You def got to the other side!

You'd have thought the car would have appreciated the attention and TLC, but right when I was finishing up the driver's side door handle carrier let go. First time for me on either of my two cars, but from what I'd read I knew the day would eventually come.

So now I get to refer to that excellent DIY writeup and zip tie fix of yours, @andrewwynn and spend a little more quality time in the garage. :-)

Steel zip tie and a shim will fix the dhc 90% of the time. I have dealt with the nub that holds the handle snapping off.

If you live where it’s cold, look at the DLA thread to learn what the failure mode is.
