r/e60

Bought at 63,000 miles. Used it as a daily (except for winter) for years. Seen 43 different states, 30+ track days, 68+ oil changes. Now at 248,000 miles, it's reserved for track days and spirited driving. It has seen redline every time I've driven it since the day I bought it! Rod bearings changed at 147,000 miles, probably not changing them again unless I start to see copper. Engine is original, but everything around the engine has been replaced, sometimes thrice🤣

Im kinda insecure about this car because my friend drive newer toyota and newer bmw. Can you guy boost my confidence.

So I finally have Hard Life Garage LLC, Im really excited to be at the beginning with all the unknowns in front of me. Who knows where this will take me, but im taking my camera with me. Every track day, every drag strip, every blown engine and hopefully some good times sprinkled in. 🙌🙏

Has anyone installed these new led headlights. They look good and very f10ish.

A few nights ago, I turned my car off and when attempting to start again, all the lights and normally functions began but engine didn't crank or make any noises. Ran a diagnostic last night and saw the codes attached. Because the engine refuses to start, I had to put it in manual neutral and now it wont go back into park. Can anyone offer insight into what might be causing the engine to not crank? Also any solutions for taking out of nuetral? Also found some pretty bad corrosion (also pictured) any input is greatly appreciated.

im almost done replacing solenoids and seals but the adapter wont go in. the little tab when i try rotating just rotates the entire plug. im also sure the sleeve is fully in because the tab in mechatronics is fully inside and i switched the sleeve already to make sure it wasnt that. ive been stuck here for 3 days, any help would be greatly appreciated. ive also tried dry lube spray on the ring bc i couldnt find silicon spray
