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

I agree they look better with the roof rails. I always thought the X5 looks "bald" when I see them deleted. I also bought a $50 set off fleaBay and they are over at the powdercoater this week for a quick aesthetic transformation when they get back. My original rails were looking rather faded at 15 years old. :thumbup:

If you need some new install hardware, let me know, I bought extra... all pieces are in nice condition including the rubber fitments.

No charge, pay it forward

Thank you! I am hoping it is a simple remove fasteners and rails, then reinstall newly coated rails. Fingers crossed.

Vehicle was hemorrhaging coolant.... turned out to be the water pump... so $1,200 later, 3 days after receiving the vehicle... new water pump, thermostat and belts. no leaks now

Sourced the OEM roof rack on Ebay for $70, cleaned and repainted it, then installed with fresh hardware... looks MUCH better this way.:strut:

Also, fresh Dinan air filter. Feels so nice:thumbup:

Got the Avant 4 on Cyber Monday, installation will be next

TMV's old truck? I thought it was in pretty good condition the way it was presented while I was trying to convince the wife to adopt another 4.8is aero truck. :dunno: Maybe just a coincidence it failed after the sale?

I agree with Overboost. Never been a fan of these sans roof rails. :thumbup:

What can ya do..?? :dunno:

Overall I am excited about it. Now I get to make it my own while on the way to bringing it back up to snuff. :luv:

Potentially some style 168 wheels... I love them on this car.

If only someone would hack their site for this Nigerian prince I know....

I would have suggested something else but apparently it's not "PC" to use or even threaten to use artillery on people that piss you off.. (who knew?)[emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

Well, looks like driver side ballast took a shit.
Swapped bulbs and igniter left to right, nothing.

I'm guessing I have to take the bumper off to take the headlight out to get to ballast?
