Made the wonderful mistake of test driving the R53 (called it sold inside of the 2nd turn, lol). But, I'm already dealing with a handful of the typical issues:

passenger headlamp (already swapped bulbs & control units, no go)
driver's side door lock actuator
passenger side rear seat back latch handle

Hopefully, after I get these issues taken care of, I can drive some trouble free miles (preferably full of "S" turns).

 

Welcome to the club. If you need those parts let us know, we sell all OEM parts even though we don't have them all on the site.

 

Hello from Asheville!

I'm sure you'll have those issues fixed in no time. Good luck!

 

Welcome to the forum, doesn't sound like the problems are serious, good luck on fixing them quickly!

 

thanks guys.

got the rear seat latch fixed last night & new lock actuator on the way. still trying to decide on sticking with the "high dollar" HID's or just replace both with basic halogens and call it good. either way, i'm having fun driving again.

o.k. then...

 

Keep the Zenons, they're worth it!

and welcome to the madness!
