My Ride: Black Sapphire 2004 5.30i
Default

I have a build date of 2003, but my car is listed as a 2004.

Is my engine model going to be the 2004 (M54 model)?

yep, they didn't change engines until 2006, I have a 2005 with the same engine.

PJ -- you are the man when it comes to answering my tech questions...MUCH appreciated...

now in your spare time if you were to author an illustrated guide on how to change my control arms that'd be wonderful!

That would be a little more difficult, I'm afraid I'm more talented with wrenches than keyboards (funny since I work in IT - I know)
