I also removed the cover piece to the back of the brake cooling ducts on the inside of the wheel well liner (front). Why would they have that closed off?

You might find (as I did on my 3.0) that the ducts allow water as well as air to get onto the rotors. The result is just a touch delay (not much at all) in inclement weather while the pad clears the water from the rotor. Also, cool rotors are not always the best surface to use while braking. In very cold weather without much braking (an infrequent braking highway cruise for example), the rotors can cool below optimum temperature for the most effective initial bite. As above, they heat up in a nanosecond, but also as above, it answers your inquiry as to why they might be blocked.

Replaced my Driver side door handle carrier.
Job took me 1 and a half hours to do the job. Ridiculous how many clips there are holding the door card on. Whenever I take it off, and put it back on, I always find 1 clip on the ground. Don't worry, window reg will eventually fail and then I can put the spare one back in. And then another one will fall out. It is a like a vicious cycle.
Well there is your problem. Awesome that it failed during Bimmerfest.  Just ordered the PS res and going to replace the fluid and res for the Power steering.

cleaned contacts for left rear turn signal after noticing it wasn't blinking as bright as the right
shorted the front brake sensor to get the full life of the front pads without the lining warning and got it a $25 wash.

How did you know they were bad? What did my E53 do for me? It hasn't rained in almost 3 months here in MO, my E53 decided to tear a CV boot (AGAIN) and before the part had a chance to come in, it has rained for 3 days!!!
