Put in the DINAN mats even though I havent repaired the driver side binding yet. I couldn't help myself. They cleaned up nicely but the backing has gotten a little grainy from age. This is how they looked when the 4.6 arrived and then after me scrubbing the hell out of them...Attachment 78304Attachment 78305Attachment 78306

Been gone a week racing Mid-Ohio and got home and took the X5 out for a few errands. First time I hit the right turn signal, I got the fast blink. :facepalm:

I asked the better half how long that had been going on and got the "deer in the headlights" look. :bustingup

Replaced both side marker/front turn signal bulbs since one was done after 16 years so the other can't be too far behind.

Loved taking the headlights out to change the side marker bulbs. German engineering at its finest. :dunno:

I was surprised when I got my x5 to see you had to remove the entire headlight to replace the front turn signal bulb. Maybe they are like the trans fluid and are supposed to be "lifetime"?

On a positive note, the E46 performed flawlessly up and over the Appalachian mountains both ways. I was a little concerned about the first transmission fluid and filter change on a ZF gearbox at 207,000 miles. Those mountain inclines can test an automatic gearbox for sure. :thumbup:

So GM3 module go to Scott Friday and I got it back Sunday. Wow. Don't know if the GM3 is affecting bg my rogue rear wiper, or it's just better from me poking at it. But it's acting right as of now.
Still need to pop off the thermostat and change the gasket/o-ring

Was just about to start thinking about maintenance on my e70.....
 
.....and I guess my e53 noticed these unfaithful thoughts and got jealous :) My son was trying to board the driver's side after (for)getting his face mask and looked perplexed at the door when it refused to open! After 17 years my driver's side door handle carrier is toast it seems.

I know there is a fix but 17 years is not a bad run and it is not too hard to get to. Ordered a new OEM item.

No wiring problems discovered in that boot harness then? How did you narrow it to the gm3?

I didn't cut it open. Just from peeling it back and seeing the nylons cover underneath that.

Over here a turn signal is never used so if it wasn't for a message from the LCM I'd never know...[emoji1787]

Good to have you back OB
