Thanks for posting an update. I just completed yanking mine out the other day and had to do it in multiple pieces using a razor blade to section it out. What a PITA! For now, I'm OK with no lid...

While it may be very common in Canada, it's not common to see it in the US for e53 since it's a dealer installed option which almost no one takes. Although, it's becoming more common for e70 and...

Great find! If only there's a simpler way to replace it other than having to remove the center console to do it :(

I'm not sure what's going on with your brakes, but I certainly don't have that "soggy" feel on mine. I was running Axxis Deluxe Plus prior to swapping to Akebonos because I could no longer find...
