    Subframe Bushing - Alignment ?

    The X5 subframe bushing bolts locate the subframe not the bushings. Also subframe bushings have no effect on tire wear. There are other parts on the rear of the X5, when worn, that can ruin a set of tires. Take a look at this vid: correcting irregular tire wear on BMW's E53

    How does this tool work (BMW oil service light reset)?

    Prob works the same as this one: It probably discharges a capacitor that holds the charge for a clock switch in the OBC or something. You have to switch the ignition switch to "on" after connecting the jumper. The ign switch completes the ground.

    I recently ordered the SK socket set SKT3919 from Advance Auto for $112.99 and applied the $20.00 off coupon plus free shipping.

    SK Ratchets, what do they compare to?

    Is it just me or does the Tuff1 have a way smoother action than the pro wrench? Higher tooth count? After cleaning and re-lubing on the 1/2 inch tuff1 the action almost seems to glide. Compare this to my brand new 3/8 Pro the action is a tad bit notchier. Or is it just that it is new? Matching...
