How about the trans mounts?Originally Posted by Lorenzo
I went with the M3 mounts and installed them yesterday. Frankly I don't notice a difference in terms of how the car feels. So I'm glad I made this choice. One of the old mounts was torn and leaking fluid so it was time. Thanks everyone for the advice.
Here's the torn engine mount with leaking fluid

Changed fluids on the e53. Front diff was a PIA but shifts much smoother now after new ATF. Still need to change transfer case fluid

I can't wait to change mine out (yrans/engine mounts). @ >223,000 I can only imagine what they look like.I went with the M3 mounts and installed them yesterday.

Trans mounts are still in good shape, for now.

Headlight bulb failed. Xenon HID Headlight Low Beam - D2S bulb. Genuine BMW bulb $158, $99 Sylvania at Advanced Auto. I replaced it for only $10 with Kensun brand bulb from Amazon Prime. Easy DIY job. Works great.

I had some warranty work done by the bodyshop that redid the hood after someone backed into me. The clearcoat was never right, and they were great when I went back in... Looks factory now. Figured it deserved a good cleaning and back-to black on some of the trim.

As a fellow TiAg, I'm still trying to decide if i want to make the switch to clears all around. I kinda like the contrast of Amber on TiAG, especially up front, but I saw some RCR tails in the flesh on a Graphite grey and it looked really good.

Picture for comparison
Edit: Funny. After looking at them back to back for a few minutes. I think the clears are the way to go

I do like the ambers on the front of TiAg, but I'll vote RCR every time. The lack of RCR tails on the coupe is my biggest complaint.As a fellow TiAg, I'm still trying to decide if i want to make the switch to clears all around.
