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

I drove it today. That's a rarity since getting the wife's x35d.

Caveat to being driven... I loaded it with 5 30"x80" doors, 5 52" ceiling fans, 4 2x4x8s, 4 light kits, 4 blade kits, new miter saw, bag of sand, 4 door knob sets, and a few other odds and ends from Lowes. Wish I would have taken a picture. But she handled it just fine. The top half of the clam shell had to be tied down of course, but the doors really only stuck out about 3 or 4 inches.

Should have seen all the pickup guys walking past while I loaded "Big Red." Were probably thinking I would never get it all in... ;) My BMW's do work! No free lunches here, don't care how nice a vehicle you are. Have to earn all that high-dollar maintenance and repair you get. :)

Oops I'm about 140# over the recommended max.

My maximum is a little higher after I upgraded my tires to the runonflat. They have a carrying capacity of 500# a tire more than the stock tires. Not saying i have 2000# more capacity but with the air shocks to adjust to a little extra weight, I'm sure I'm good for 500# over the stock tires. It did hit my mpg though. I dropped from 20-21 to 18-19'
