improved version of OBC list added above

I substituted a better copy of the OBC LIST into my previous post #41, for easier reading.

Though it was intended for E46 models, it works on the E53, at least in my low-cluster model.

"pay once, cry once" vs. "pay, and pay again, crying all the time" parts buying

Heck, back before I retired, with the ability to work as much overtime as I wanted, price was not an object for my automotive projects and/or my race car. Having 5x the income was nice.
