Sorry for the ot but that seems to indicate alot of Lutherans are ok with random violence.

That's what I meant. Too many I states sharing borders, it's been a year and a half since I bought it and all the house work has made my memory faint.... Thanks for correcting my geography

do people generally like style 5s, aka bbs rc090's on their x5s? i have a set that i had intended to refinish and put on my m3 but i sold my m3 before i could even start the project. any one here run them before/

I had those on my e30 in a 15. I think they might be a bit busy for my taste on an X.

Your call.

SECOND ROW SEAT, SEAT items in Bmw x5 seats store on eBay!

I hope this link works. Looks like only a black passenger and grey set on ebay right now. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more not listed though. There's a contact number in the item description.

I would agree with you 7 or 8 years ago, but the styling and interior of the E53 is so dated compared to today's cars it doesn't make a difference...lol!

So the car was officially road legal as of yesterday. Went to take it to work today and it was hella dead! not fun. Still hoping its just the cold killing my battery. Does anyone have a good method for testing for parasitic draw? Any common culprits? As far as I know the only known electrical fault is in the upper rear hatch release. PO said it had a short so he just disconnected the exterior switch. Interior switch still works.

Its sarcasm , playing off the stereotype of midwestern lutherans are so passive that the only thing that raises their ire is denigrating Vince Lombardi. Sorry for taking the thread off-topic, but Iowahawk's humor seemed to fit the Wisconsin-Iowa camo story perfectly!
