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

Dammit guys....back on topic! :nanana:

Replaced Guibo, trans fluid, and transfer case fluid. Anyone run powerflex bushings for their thrust arms? Considering them but worried they would be too stiff. E39 guys swear by them. :dunno:

You're like everyone's favorite little brother that pisses the whole family off at the dinner table. And then realizes he's gone too far and is quick witted enough to make everyone laugh so they let it slide. :nanana:

And solid bushings suck unless track car. :nanana:

Walked around it. Admiring that it’s 14 years old and still gives me a semi.

I’m really having a hard time moving up to an (f15)x5m, while this tank is still perfect for my needs. And no payments on it. Shit. I might even fix the curbed rims and little dents and keep it as side piece.

Powerflex has a reputation of lasting much longer than stock bushings but I don't think they are worth the additional investment especially when weighed against other suspension mod options. E39 experience is not necessarily transferable to an X5. Oops, responding to your question is also off topic.

Sorry to be off topic, but did you notice anything negative doing solid subframe bushes? More noise n vibrations etc?

I did a complete suspension rebuild at the time so can't distinguish anything particular about the bushings other than they were extremely easy to install. I was thoroughly pleased with rebuild results.
