If you have 3mm of pad left, they are DONE. Some people might see that as "start", I see it as "end".

No way. I just can't ignore the obvious. I'm too much of a gearhead to ignore that warning.

If I have any warnings on my dash, I fix the problem.

You need to let us know what transmission you have (ZF or GM) for anyone to recommend what fluid you need. You might add your X5 information to your signature.

I knew you would get a chuckle out of our 6" storm Andrew. But here in the South with maybe 3 plows in our state, it becomes a challenge. We had no UPS/Fedex/Amazon deliveries, schools closed,...

For the almost 15 years I've owned her she was always been tucked in bed in the garage, no elements. I guess my post should have read "How did you abuse your E53 today"

That shot was late today...

Foxwell $150
PA Soft 1.4 $15

Pretty easy decision

*EDIT* I saw your last sentence and see you don't have a computer. You are left with a Foxwell as a stand alone unit. Pony up the $150.

Yep, that was my parasitic draw. TCU fuse 74. Replaced my TCU and all good again. I have since gone to Android so TCU is no longer used but still functional if I wanted to connect to it. :thumbup:
