Ha... Karma. My rich trim codes came back too... After 4000 miles. Basically both banks -9 percent. Too funny. I doubt both new o2 sensors went bad. Oh well.

Does anyone know - is the pull out trunk bed option, removable

I saw some cars had this strange option that allows you to pull out a large platform from the trunk area, maybe to load stuff on and then slide it back into the trunk. I think this was an upgrade. Is...

My brake fluid reservoir is at the max! And I can see it's reddish. It's definitely was the color of my generic Prestone coolant which suits the car just fine.

Honestly how is the M62 v8 vs the trusty M54

Hi, I'm obsessed with the e53. I want to buy another. I'm really looking just at the 3.0i but see a nice clean v8. How much harder is it to work on. I'm not worried about the body, that I know, like...

I drove about 80 miles today. No warning of low coolant, so if indeed a leak I guess it's very small still. I'll pressure test and go from there. Spare bottle of coolant in the truck always, anyway....

Thank you. That's very kind of you to offer.

Seems like it's well attached now. The paste glue has better grip over the crumbling old foam vs just the spray adhesive that's a very light coating.

Yep, heavy negative trim. Car is removing fuel. So certainly not an air leak. This is exactly what I had. I'd swap both those upstream O2 sensors. I'd check fuel pressure and verify you got 50psi....
