The Elusive Manual E53

[bluejeansonfire]

I fell deeply in love... so now it's mine. Now to collect an IS interior. That gray interior, despite being in very good shape, is just such a poor color.

The engine compartment belongs to a brand new car. The lights (all of them) look like they underwent a failed restoration (goes completely unnoticed in the cl ad), I'm hopeful I can save them. Everything works great. The 132s have great tread michelins. Which x5 do style 132s belong to? Being pretty much a stripper, I don't think these 19s originally came on this thing. This thing doesnt even have heated seats nor panoramic sunroof. I didn't know facelift x5s came without big sunroofs.

Do the halogen lights steer? I can't tell.

Ok, now I feel like I lied about the entire everything is perfect thing. There's one thing that's kind of driving me insane. I noticed it about 30 minutes after buying the car. Not a dealbreaker by any means, I can crudely fix this very quickly. The mpg needle and the tach have a cluster swordfight with their asses. I have a picture I don't know how to post on this board of it idling at "4k"rpm and like 9mpg. It's actually idling low, but the tach is stuck. This happens with shocking frequency. I think this might be a manual facelift x5 thing, maybe a early year MPH US-only cluster issue. I googled but couldn't find anything about this.
