Let me get this straight, a dealer gave you money for your E53?

Replaced left front axle and both control arms. Inner CV was toast.

Plowed the snow bank back a couple feet toward the curb. It shaves weeks off how long it takes for nature to run its course (water running at the curb)

It was very cold Mr. Wynn. [emoji3063]

8° here at the moment was about 18° when I took that photo.

When it gets to about 25 I’ll cut a groove in the snow back to the curb with my pressure washer and hot water.

The weather is why people move south...

Thank you. What you see below the wood in the photo are my E39s VCs that I had prepped and loved and primed and painted wrinkle red which lasted less than a year. Those will be next once the X back together.

Yes sir, my screen doesn't show the color very well, its fire engine red, very deep and bright. I wanted to go Alzarin Crimson but it was going to be 2x the price and a custom mix so 2x the wait. Took me a bit of calling around Houston to find a place that would even take them. Some said their insurance wouldn't allow magnesium, others acted like I was asking them to do vibranium and had no idea that the process was different.

The X is my daily so we'll see how they hold up.
