Second Owner - First trip to shop, better than the $2300 the dealer quoted though.:thumbup:

How did you get the bushings out and new ones in?

Each and every work day, my E53 gets to escape the madness and spend her waking hours basking in the warm dixie sun with her siblings and cousins, in the west parking lot of her birthplace, Werk 10.

I didn't. Don't have the workspace or tools to do the job effectively. There are "how to's" on the subject with pics and work instruction. This place is a great resource for knowledge and saving $.

changed the air filter and fixed my left turn signal.turns out it was a mix of a blown bulb and some corrosion. sadly my ipod interface no longer works:(

Pad wear was pretty uneven for me. This one shot was pretty good wear. I had one pad with less than 1mm left!
