That piece of trim is easy to remove. It is held in by a few metal posts, as indicated in the above post. They are simply pressed into plastic retaining holders, or whatever, by friction. Gently pry...

Yes, they're not that bad. He must be using aftermarket pads. :D

Also, that style of wheel is pretty easy to clean since they don't have all sorts of nooks and crannies. Lucky guy....

It's very easy. There are 3 nuts that hold the corner lights on. They are accessed around the backside. You'll need a 10mm or 13 socket. The inner lights are just as easy but requires you to pop out...

Looks great! I like the interior best. The leather/Alcantara combo with orange stitching is cool.

Canada gets another interesting BMW X edition to go with the past E53 "Hockey Edition".

Sounds like you're on track.

Oddly enough, the water pump I took out of my '02 3.0 was a metal impeller model. It was original as I bought my X5 brand new. Oh well. It really isn't that bad. If...

I would change the cap too if you haven't already decided on it. It's an inexpensive part and they do wear out since they are under pressure. If you're changing your coolant reservoir anyway, order...

If his HID fogs are anything like the ones I had, sometimes the ballast didn't fire up on one side so I guess it's a feature, just not one that can be controlled. :D

I'm going to guess you have Premium Package on yours then. (Leather, moon roof, automatic climate controls, plus.)

That is for real. The guy had to redrill them to fit his A4. I sort of like it, mostly because I'm also a fan of the 132. I agree that it fills up the wheel wells too much and sort of weighs the car...
