Heading to the dealer shortly and will keep you posted, I'm pretty sure their wrong lol

Yeah I never actually bought them but it seems like the dealer is blowing smoke.

funny thing is they fit just fine, bad news is now my AC doesn't work after they did an AC recharge, going to call them tomorrow, unreal by them and also not surprised

I mean, the parts catalog will say that they don’t fit. They’re the wrong part for a 3.0i.

Good luck with the A/C. Tracking down A/C issues is always fun.

What's funny is I called the tech over, told him to put the trims on, told him they would fit, comes back to me and tells me they didn't fit, I proceed to pick up the car yesterday and I put them on myself LOL

Compressor and water valve are bad so that's the culprit of the AC issue :)

:bustingup
That sucks. But not as much as a bad evap.

Yup, taking her during lunch and gonna work from there :/

lovely Friday I must say hah

buddy from muffler shop quoted me 250 for xpipe and v8 muffler replacement, said this is no problem and has worked on my older german cars before, he loves the E53 :)

Wow, great price. I would go X pipe too. My '83C10 has one with dual Magnaflow mufflers. The X5 muffler is in great shape externally. Wish it had more rust or a hole so I could upgrade.

Yeah he recommended magnaflow 2.25 for the 3.0i models which I bought and there are only a few videos on youtube that show show what it sounds like with a V8 muffler replacement, regardless should be better for the engine and also look much cleaner in the rear
