    I replaced the batteries in one of my key fobs and re-initialized the key.  I can now remotely lock and unlock my car. 

    I also found if I put the key to my chin, I can lock/unlock my car from 80ish yards away.  SICK.

        Haha, no I was reading a thread about key reprogramming on bimmerforums and someone mentioned it.

        This weekend I'm getting a new brake light switch and a spare LCM from a guy parting out a couple of 540's.  Also replacing some burned out bulbs around the car.  Thinking about getting the dead pixels fixed in the cluster after the new year.

        Also, I'll be cracking open the mystery glove box.  Will post pics of contents.

          Got the mystery glove box opened. No guns, unfortunately. However, if you need lasik, I know a guy.

          Apparently stubborn glove box is common in 5er's of this vintage. I also found out why the car is so clean for having 257k. Must have been a Wisconsin to Illinois commuter car.

              Right?  I was hoping for at least a .38 special (gun or CD)

                  It was simple as lifting the lever and pushing up on the glove box.  The mechanism is just a little goofy.

                            I took my car to the car wash last night and blew all the leaves and debris from my engine bay/trunk.  I purchased some 0000 grade steel wool to do my windshield and some leather cleaner.

                              Anyone think an ebay hydro ebrake like this is a bad idea? I'm dying without an ebrake.

                                  My answer to this question would be "You don't want to know." I'm almost to the part of the curve where I stop taking things apart, and start putting them back together again...

                                  ...almost...
