Just saying hello! Long time Bimmer-phile, and previous owner of one '06 MCS R53. I've since bought and have been driving a 2000 Montero Sport (which I LOVE), but really missed the driving, or "motoring" experience. Bought this '04 R53 a few weeks ago with ~195K on the clock. Lots of small things to fix and upgrade to get it into proper working order, and to stave off future problems. I'll be lurking, reading, commenting... Very glad for all of you who put time and effort into contributing DIYs, help and insight. I hope I can contribute as well.
