Replaced expansion tank on my 2013. Hopefully, that was the source of my coolant loss. Couldn't find anywhere else leaking.

Nice work. And leather wrapped dash board for the win. We have that as as well and it makes a world of difference to the luxury feel.

I need to wrap the wife's trim, the wood is split on the door panels and just doesn't compliment the rest of the interior in our opinion. What vinyl did you use?

I'm planning on doing this fairly soon. Are you stock otherwise? How does it do with throttle tip-in when taking off from a stop? I hate how lazy the stock tune is.

Thanks. Leather dash was an option already installed, but kudos to you for the undertaking. I picked up my trim pieces off eBay, but now that I have a set of 9 walnut trims sitting around, I may wrap them for my better half’s...

No I have Full Delete with Stage 2 DUDMD & ATM exhaust with catted DP. throttle is very responsive. I can be doing 60-70 and with a little pedal it goes quickly to 90-100 in a heartbeat.

Gotcha. Our leather dash was also the factory installed option. Though we like it so much I am considering having my e53 x5 dash leather wrapped.

Replaced the battery today @ 155,002 miles. I'm guessing this is the 3rd battery. While registering the new battery with Carly I read the stored info. The one in the car was registered @ 79,493 miles and was an OE 92AH battery. I installed a 95AH one that Advance had as they had a 25% off coupon code for online orders. Total after core return was $173ish.

Reason for replacement was funny electrical gremlins popping up... including a couple of random trans errors. Going to investigate those further just in case the battery was not to blame, but it was time for replacement judging from mileage that triggered the replacement of the first battery.
