Okay I am ordering those for my x5 are they are straight forward swap out or do I need to mod the bulbs in order to fit the fittings?

They slide right into the existing bulb receptacles.

New fog lamps. Old ones had eroded lens surfaces and just didn't allow enough light to go through any more.

Finally resolved my warm start issue!!! I've been living with it for years and finally decided to check the injectors and sure enough... Replaced the leaky injector and starts right every time the first time. So glad I waited four years!

Ah, that feeling you get when you have just drained 8 quarts of oil out of your X5 and pulled the oil filter only to realize that the filter you thought you had ordered months ago was just a figment of your imagination... Priceless. LOL So, I just placed this order for the X: :(

I suggest ordering 2 filters, that way it never has to happen to you again.

Then when you go grab the last one off your shelf, you place another order for a pair. :dunno: :dunno:

While not Mann brand, I have seen E53 filter fitment available on the WalMart shelf if anyone is in a pinch (may have been Frahm brand, can't remember). :dunno:

Yeah, they have local replacements... but in true Dirk Wright fashion... I figured, "while I'm down there and the X is up on jack stands..."

You know how it goes. :D;)
