I was tired of rolling out of the driveway, or havining it just pop out..i replaced tbe rear shoes, and that helped, but i needed the lever to stay engaged....

All in all, it wasnt bad, took me 3 hrs. Its the first time i did it.. so if it has to cone apart again itll take me an hour next time..

As a person who needs to replace the misplaced e-brake button on his E24... this one’s gonna hurt.

I’ve always kinda wanted a manual E53. Worth it?

only if you love bmw’s silky smooth straight 6, and the pleasure of rowing your own gears without the worry of the automatic trans taking a shit on you! so in short, yes.

I’ve been working at a bmw dealer for 7 years and have only seen 3 of them. and no one was in a rush to give them up!
