01 4.4 questions
hi folks, new here. just bought my first x sat and must say its very different from the lowered, modded 3 series i am used to but i am loving it. had a couple questions though, i have already ordered trans fluid and filter as well as t-case fluid as it is almost at 100k. i was curious though does anyone offer trans tuning for them like they do for the e39's? or has anyone run an aftermarket valve body to help the trans last longer? I have experience in diesel truck using a good vb and tc to make a stock trans handle way more than it ever should. Also my x has navigation but has the 2001 disc in it. Can i still get updated discs? or does it also need a software update or am i just out of luck? Where i live the old disc is worthless lol. thanks for helping a newb!!

at this mileage and the age of the truck, i would not even touch the tranny, unless it gives you headache...
what version firmware do you have in your nav? from main menu got to settings and look at the top right corner. it will have a number, like 4-1/30 or something like that... oh, and welcome to the board!!! where are the pics of the ride?

air leaks due to airbag, check Arnott, he comes highly recommended, and is a sponsor of this forum...
are you changing registration from PA to VA? you know you will be slapped with semiannual tax bill based on your car's value, as opposed to flat $36... read up on this forum about disasters that had happened after the tranny flush - if it was not flushed around 25-30K, then - farghet abou' it... I am most of the times in VA, my mom lives in Hbg, and lived there for good 15 years... where in VA is verona? sounds like california (and i know, it is not the italian verona!!!)

def used to the taxes lol. yea no flush just filter change, i research here alot before buying. actually just found arnott's a few min ago, it rides fine but leaks pretty quick after cuting off.
Verona is just south of harrisonburg on i-81. about 2.5hrs from stafford, there was actually an x there i was gonna look about at car mart but sold thursday.

it turns out that the CAR MART that you mentioned couple posts above, is THE one next door to me. he still has another E53 on his lot.
if you go to a dealer, he will charge you an arm and a leg... source maps off ebay, and get the firmware disk (about $10 from a dealer) to update the firmware
