Another method is to simply "tighten" the wheel bolt and see how much longitudinal play the wheel/hub has. Of course you have to have some clue what is normal. -
The screws are on the rear side of steering wheel. No actual need disconnecting battery if you just want to check things.

They look the same. Just unscrew torx screws and check if it has one or two connectors for airbag.
-
Yes. You can activate it from DDE4 Activation menu.
-
Yes but these have been done.

Of course everything can be done but this would be quite epic job and costly. Dynamic Drive and sport (not M-sport!) springs and dampers if by far the best combo I've driven any E60.

Or retrofit Dynamic Drive.
-
Ate brake hoses should be OEM quality.

That separate DPF is on M57N engine, 530d -> 9/2005. The newer M57N2 have DPF and cat in the same package right after turbo. -

I would still say that majority of its life the car will just stand without load. So I've always done the job without additional load, just the vehicles own weight on the hub. -
This connector can sometimes be very tight. I've used pliers for removal.

Have you checked the washer nozzles under the hood lining. Sometimes the nozzle heating shorts and have even caused fire on the lining.

Usually these lock nuts are compressed nuts, not nylocks. -
You can turn if on one of those torx bolts.
