Which x5, e53 specific tools to buy?
Ok so my CEO approved a $1k budget for E53 tools. I plan on keeping my car for a while, so I figured I can buy a bunch of tools, and rent them out to the people here if needed. I figure I get some opinions before buying stuff.
Engine tools will have to be ones specific to the 4.8is. Thanks for your help. Tool 1. Subframe bushing tool. Amazon.com: BMW Subframe Bushing Tool Set ( E53 Rear ): Everything Else

How about the strut tower camber alignment tool?
Also, doesn't BMW have a specific tool to remove the cv axle nut? The Bentley manual references it and am curious if it stays on the nut/ hub better than the regular 36mm socket? JJ

Good stuff Cisco. I only see about 3 or 4 tools worth while.
This seems like it might be useful. When I wanted to change mine, I couldn't figure out how to press out that huge ass trans mount. BMW X5 Transmission mount bushing tool This looks useful. Audi Volkswagen VW Rear Axle Bushing Tool E38/E39/E52/E60/E61/E62/E63/E65 Isn't there a tool to press out the front thrust arm bushings. I saw the HFT home made tools, the guy put one together. Can this even be done on the car?
