I like warm light but not as warm as old bulbs. So today installed warm leds and I think they perfectly match interior:

I'm undecided on this one. They look more modern, but I sort of appreciate the warm glow of the incandescent lighting inside the car; easier on the old eyes too. But wood trim? Nah, I don't like it as it really makes the car feel like a 2006 model. Aluminum would definitely freshen it up. |

Hit a giant pothole on the right side. Pennsylvania end of winter... ugh.
Nothing feels loose, but something moved a little bit. Steers slightly right, and pulls slightly left at center now. Don't think it bent a wheel. I can probably thank the compliant 16" snow tires for that. Nor do the tires seem damaged. I'll throw it up on jack stands this afternoon to take a closer look, try to determine if something is broken. First thoughts, either something slipped in the rear, or the hydraulic strut-rod bushing in the front collapsed.

I replaced the belt, pulleys and tensioner, the old ones didn't look bad at all but I've owned it for nearly eight years and it's better to be ahead of a failure. I spent some time with a can of degreaser and shop towels and cleaned the area well. The E60 spare was delivered also and now I'm prepared for a tire issue, Lord knows the Nashville potholes are getting worse by the day.
And then I washed it...

Also interested, don’t like cold white lights, but if they are warm and can still fade on off lik3 the filament ones I’d be interested.

It’s actually a full kit by carshades.uk. They have 3 little holders that the spring metal frames of the shades clip into on left and right side of the rear glass.
I had their f31 kit on my f31 and liked it so much I bought the e91 kit and had it here before I even bought the e91! Not only does it shade, it kills sound reflections off the glass which makes the car quieter and the stereo sound better. If you look carefully you can see the 3 3m stick on clips for each of the two panels.

Hi friends. It's been a while since I've been in an e9x. I'm cheating on my x5d and M5 😲, but I found this Deep Green Metallic over Dakota leather with sports package and couldn't pass it up. Manual swap in the works too 😁
