Dropped my X off at the mechanics. Very sad. Then went to the dealership and bought an oil filter just so I could see the nice lady they have working at the service desk. Not as sad now and I really needed the filter.

New sleeves and piston seals for the Vanos last night....Oil filter housing gasket and intake elbow night before that.

...hopefully I can remember how to put it all back together! LOL.

Don't drop a screw S!

Didn't have the kids or wife in the car. Drove it for 15 min, in flat out sport mode. Holy shit I love this car.

Too late! I have to dig out a washer from the valve cover that landed on the lower stiffening plate. I have to pick up the thermostat that sits below the coolant tank later today at the dealer...hopefully they'll have one of those so I can be lazy and dig it out next time it's up on the hoist.

Im not in any real rush; As long as I get it back together for Sunday (golf) ill be happy. I pushed back the body shop ...now it's going to get the holes in the roof filled permanently on Monday instead of tomorrow!

Hi my friends!

I washed the heart of my X

On the Weekend we will have Bimmerfest,i'll post some pictures!:thumbup:

Aspherical heated/auto dimming mirrors. I've had them on my E39 for 10 years but just never pulled the trigger on the E53. I can't wait to go for a drive tomorrow. Normally, my commute is down the hall. Pants optional. Tomorrow, I think I'll take the 2 mile trip in to the office! :D

2 miles to the office! Oh man, the X and the Triumph would become such garage queens if that were the case for me, I would literally walk / ride a bike / scooter to work haha!

Now I know why your 4.8 is always so impeccably clean!


Thread relevance, I got my free samples of my rear wiper delete plug in the mail and it fits perfectly! PM me if you need the website, they actually sent me 2 in my sample pack (I busted one though on install. Good news is the fitment is very tight and weathertight as well, and best part its a free mod!

I would have to take a longer route just for the fun of it.

:thumbup: I did! Man, those mirrors are awesome! Reminds me of my E39. I was finding myself looking to the sides more than to the front! :yikes: But I'm safely at a customer site waiting ever so patiently until I can run home. Or ANYWHERE!

Think I'll give it a nice wash to celebrate.
