Sorry, my answer was very confusing. I am not sure if the part I replaced was original or not, but I replaced it with a VDO regulator from BAVAuto. Hopefully this picture works, but on the bottom...

Did this repair on Monday afternoon. In my case, the clip was not broken, instead the regulator anchor piece shattered and the cables had unwound. I replaced the clip anyway, since the one that was...

I replaced the left rear window regulator. Honestly, not a bad repair at all. Took me about an hour. For me, the window clip is not what broke, instead the regulator anchor for the cables broke apart...

My rear left regulator failed on Friday. I ordered the parts and as soon as they're in I'll get it fixed. I nearly always drive with the windows down, so they get used very frequently. Due to this,...

I ended up not going through that mechanic. He gets great reviews, but they all comment he's a bit scatterbrained and has issues getting your vehicle back to you on time. I showed up at the time...

Thanks guys! A co-worker with an older M6 recommended a different shop so I'm taking it there. The prices aren't bad, I think it's like $200 to replace the bushings in the tension arms. I know it'd...

I've done the valve cover gaskets before, they are just a PITA. The rest of the suspension actually looks pretty easy and doesn't require any presses like I'm used to with my Toyota's.

Mechanic Quote - Front Suspension

Hey everyone! I did end up getting that '01 X5 after having my wife and FIL test drive it. Well, it got down here and as soon as I drove it I knew the front end was "gone". Bad shudder under braking,...

Based on the VIN decoder the vehicle came with the S430A option so it should definitely have folding mirrors. I wonder what the previous owners have done?

X5 Engine Noise

Hopefully this works, I uploaded the video to YouTube. Try to ignore the wind but you should be able to hear the "knock" or "tock" noise.

I joined this forum back in 2015 with my previous E53. I ended up getting rid of that one, but now I'm looking at replacing it (they're like a drug that you can't stop!). The dealer I frequent has an...

Jeez, glad I saw this. I also have seen errors, but both seat heaters work correctly. Well, the drivers can take 15 minutes, but I didn't realize it could be a dangerous problem.

@gatojurko - Bi-xenon is not what you're describing. Bi-xenon uses a gate in the projector to transition from low-beam to high-beam. RB is not talking about putting an HID in the high beam.

OK, found the inspection hole. That's what that random screw that I didn't remove is for! That makes sense now.
