Replaced the drivers side door handle carrier. Used a Febi replacement. I had to do the same thing with this one as I had to with the passenger side. The socket on the bowden cable is just a little bit too large so it won't stay on the door latch lever. I put a double piece of teflon tape on the end of the lever and the cable stays in place. Very frustrating until I figured out the fix last time.

Nice looking car! Love the color.

Those F10s are really beautiful. I almost bought one with in the 35i variant with a six-speed instead of a practical family car about 7 years ago. But sense got the better of me. Someday I'll own one!

My Dad loves his diesel variant. Just put another 2000 miles on it over the last couple weeks taking a trim to FL.

Welp its come time. I've listed the E53 for sale. After doing so much freaking work to it too, I can't stomach paying $90/fill up twice a week.

I came up with this fact too. Gas prices are just going up all day. It's a shame since E53 is nice car.

Pricing here is going mad too - premium petrol is over $12 gallon now!

Fortunately (for me) diesel is still cheaper (~$7.50 gallon) but it's increasing at the same rate as petrol. :(

Yep, petrol is just around 2€ per litre here. Diesel is pretty close too, around 1,8-1,9€ per litre.

over 2€ per liter here now (about 9$ per gallon). Good thiong the salt is off the roads so I can go back to using the bike again. (allthough yestersdays blizzard was no fun on the way home haha)

What's going to replace it?

I'm going for the fuel mileage. The prices will be what they will. The replacement will hopefully be a 535d. I'd love a Toyota D4D equipped Hilux or Nissan diesel but we dont get those here.
