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

I'll try to break it in as soon as possible :thumbup:

Eisenmann NA is actually asking for a good clip also, so I'll be sure to post up when I record something! This was the last video my company made for Eisenmann NA/DE: https://vimeo.com/108598706 :D

Was getting a Service Engine Soon light so I fired up the old BMW scanner and got the following code:

E4/B1 Oxygen Sensor controller bank 2, deviation too great, deviation rich.

EC/B2 Triming, oxygen sensor controller, bank 2 deviation too great in rich range.

So it looks like I needed a new 02 sensor before the catalyst in bank 2.

So I went and changed the 02 sensor. At least the 02 sensor came out really easy for an 02 sensor.

Just for grins I scanned the X using Torque on my cellphone. It came up with the error code P1093. I didn't find any definitive cure for a P1093 error code.

Hopefully the code won't come back.

Are those still the original o2 sensors pre-cat?

YEAH BABY!

All I did today was order new cables for my hood. Snapped again, lol.

But tomorrow I get to do my first 'drive it like I stole it' run of the season to clear out any condensate. :)

Today was glass day. Since I polished it with 3M yesterday, I went ahead and applied some of my old stock of Aquapel. I think I bought like 24 of the applicators nearly 10 years ago when it was getting hard to find. Anyway, the glass looks great. I can't wait until my ~200 mile road trip tomorrow.

Also today, I went ahead and hit the paint with Zaino's Z6 and Z8. That stuff always puts a nice shine on a good polish. It's going to be beautiful around here all week.

Swapped my regular clear side markers for Smoked LEDs. Looks really nice. Really happy with the way it turned out, matches the flow of the SUV.
