Great looking 4.8is but just seeing another Imola 4.8is gives me the shakes. I'm convinced the E53 is the Devil's own, even though I'm not religious. Great platform if you like to solve puzzles and have the time on your hands to deal with them.

I don't mind solving 1 or 2 puzzles at a time, but when I get 10 at once it is damn frustrating!

So dealing with a vibration from hell that just started yesterday. I know both my inner CV joints are torn and the driver's side axle is noisy when put into gear (x5 is up on jack stands), so I am hoping that is the issue. Just ordered 2 new GKN axles.

I also have to fix the driver's side motor mount bracket, it's broken at the top and you should see how much the engine moves when it's revved up and the brakes are applied. (That's going to be a fun job to replace) I know that is a source of vibration too, but it has been that way since I bought it and the vibration I have now is new.

After that then maybe I can move onto the transmission......
