Thanks all. The fact that the computer seems to be reading correctly, but not the needle made me THINK that the sender was fine, but I'll still run through the test. I've not tackled the fix on an...

Fuel gauge - stuck 1/4 tank low?
Not a major issue, but curious: Anyone else have a gas gauge that will never go to "Full", and perpetually reads about 1/4-1/3 tank low? This seems to ONLY affect the physical needle, not the...

Thanks all. I managed to get temp. tags today good for 30 days, so I can actually DRIVE the thing without worrying about getting pulled over, MUCH easier for trying to get the last codes to clear!

Thanks for that, Masospaghetti. Sounds like LED bulb swap is out, since that's one of my own biggest pet peeves. I'll take a look at the NightGuide bulbs, may try that and then look for a 2nd Xenon...

Ahhh... got you. When you started mentioning factory LED and HID, thought I'd missed an option somewhere. Wondering about quality of something like the LED offerings on Turner's website...

I'll check for codes in a bit. I have both a Foxwell and a phone-based app, saw some intermittent codes but can't recall off top of my head. Only one I remember was for the O2 sensor, which passed...

Realizing I may be confused. Were there 2 options, or 3 for the Pre-LCI e53's? I've always thought there were just halogen and Xenon, but you're mentioning factory LED's has me wondering if I...

No, afraid I've got the right (passenger) full assembly, but nothing for the driver's side. Looks like I can get Xenon on eBay for around $150-200 shipped, just trying to decide if that makes the...

So I'm in a LITTLE bit of an odd spot:
Picked up a "new to me" x5 recently (2001). Car had been in a low-speed front-end collision, bumper, grill and headlights (xenon) were replaced with...

Afraid that both safety inspection and (for my county) emissions are required to register it.
That being said, safety is done, most of the emissions items seem to be either cat. converter or o2...

Emissions testing cycle?
Picked up a "new to me" E53 last weekend. Having difficulty getting it *ready* to pass our local emissions inspection. It isn't failing, but simply reporting "not ready". I've put about 250 miles...
