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

Oil service time - and I also repalced the air and the fuel filters.

While I love my 3.0d (M57TU), changing the air and fuel filters is always a frustratiing exercise. The amount of tupperware that you have to remove to change the air filter is utter maddnes....

The fuel filter is nearly as bad, but you're working on your back! While I was in there I removed the OEM worm-drive hose clips on the fuel lines, as they were looking a bit tatty (the lines, not the clips) - replaced them with the correct fuel-hose clamps.

Engine bay looks fantastic Wayne. :thumbup:

I really should do this so I can have inner high beams along with Xenon high beams.

Programming is needed. You have to change the VIN in the LCM to rid of the tamper dot and program the ZCS of your car to the LCM.

Swapped out the back hatch struts and added those little springs so that the hatch opens by itself when unlocked.

Nice. The red goes with white. Mine was green, didn't go well with the blue paint at all.

Took the 4.6 Out of the garage over the weekend for the first nice dry day and no snow to pass emissions.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d33d33ad1.jpg
