Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

My OCD costs me a lot money sometimes, it's not a good thing to have when you are a car enthusiast. My friends think I'm nuts when I go crazy aligning and using OEM bolts and hardware on areas of the car that no one will ever see because it gets covered or whatever but still....as long as I know it's not right I won't be able to sleep.

My OCD won't allow me to do that LOL

Flip all six it's still symmetrical :-). I considered if I should concern myself about mangling the nuts if I hit something under but it's such small odds and I have a right angle grinder in case I'd have to cut off a mangled nut.

I find age/age related laziness conquers ocd. Actually age kicks ocd's butt :)

Having owned an e83 with 4 stiffener plate bolts with CAPTIVE nuts, I was first surprised to find 6 bolts on the e53. When I realized they had loose nuts, I was disgusted!

Right up until you strip one of those "disgusting" nuts - then you'll be VERY pleased they are loose and not welded into the sub-frame! ;)
