  1. Ever had that wiring job and ended up with heaps of soldered joins and strips of heat shrink. While adding a few interior goodies to Tim 325 this was the case after a bit if mucking around and a few wrecked connectors and terminals. Came up with this hope it is of help to some body. terminal removal.docx

  3. If you can before you buy talk to people that have owned the petrol and diesel version you are intrested in. To a large degree will also depend on the type of running you will be doing. Then do the maths comparing the cost of the petrol 95 or 98 to the diesel and RUC charges plus any other related maintenance costs. As mentioned look at the 6 cylinder engine they seem to have a slightly better track record than the fours. Drive as many as you can to get a feel of each type.
  4. One would hope so all to true personnal joice does play a part in what one likes in a car. The fact that it has a manual box good but the wrong one according to the parts cat sets off alarm bells for me based on my own 5 and half yrs owning a 5er. As for the k's would depend on how they were achived nice normal driving ok thrashed not so. Also any work carried out before 2012 still interesting.
  5. A few details found from car jam and bmw fans. CK19560 Listed as an automatic Assembled Feb 2003 UK reg Mar 2003 NZ reg 1 June 2007 current plate gmd921 effective 4 sept 2012, MATUK up to 7/jun 2007, DZK354 up to 1/Jun 2007 The manual trans listing for it in BMW fans is a S5D 320z- THCH. Have to say the colour looks nice the wheels do nothing for me has only manual adjust seats. The exhaust , suspension and what else has been changedor about to wear out if interested proceed with caution. The five series cars took a big hit price wise and with age catching up on them even a so called rare, limited number 150 in that colour. Its sixteen yrs old covered over 300,000k about 18,750k's a yr and a bmw. As stated only a 220 fitted well below the level it should have. Wonder was the conversion done here in NZ or UK and by whom. Have to wonder also what the 25 thousand was spent on it from 2012 only 7yrs. No maybe not in the five and half yrs of owing a 530 I spent 14. Best of luck on who ever buys it
  6. Ah I see different set up from an e46 great makes life a little easier when doing the conversion best of luck and enjoy the 3 pedal experience.
  7. Reached $7,000 and still 4 days to go. High do you think it will go?
  8. If an auto check the cooling set up on the radiator they are different to a manual I believe.

    Dig a bit deeper Richard its closer than you think houses built from plans in a factory by machines module style assembled and transported to the site. Only connecting to services required and final touches all to speed up the process and keep the cost down, personnal comment yeah right can see the price coming down in a pigs eye!
  11. As title twin switch only drivers side as per picture. Thanks
  12. Have a e39 standard bumper bear, no clash strips colour Oriental blau metal with the twin tips looking for around $50.00.
  13. Check to make sure that the struts are for a e39 530 M sport and not the standard strut.

  17. Have a look on line about the keys could be a number of things https://www.google.com/search?q=e39+faulty+remote+entry&rlz=1C1GGRV_enNZ784NZ784&oq=e39+faulty+remote+entry&aqs=chrome..69i57.10629j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  18. Hi anyone got the diagram for the rear vent windows on a coupe or compact. Having trouble getting www planet to work thanks
  19. Must be that time again things have started to brake. First a phone call help flat tyre and sure as eggs the space saver turns out to be soft. Next the drivers door won't lock with the key so the pull it apart and its toast lucky had some old bits hanging around Not so much a repair but fitted an aux cable and connections fromthe radio to ash tray. Have left the rear vent problem for now a coffee is in order I feel.
  20. Have converted these to electric. But still can't get them to work. The motors work have checked the wiring and turned on the rear window option by recoding it. Could the General module be at fault any help much appreciated.
  21. Just beware that they drive on the left in the states and the headlight settings may not be correct for here in NZ.
  22. Have done this on a 2002 530. I opened the headlights up and swapped the xenon parts over to the orginal headlight casings as the ones the xenon were in where badly damaged. Bought second hand ballasts and at the same time swapped in the brighter angel eye bulbs. Had no coding to do and no faults appeared. Same would apply surely to a 330 if you have the complete xenon headlights all the easier. Their must be heaps of write ups on this surely Mr Google could help
  23. Yes was aware of that but they used to do a standard M3 clutch set up as well because that is what I put in the compact when I did the engine transplant.As for the valve I removed it .right or wrong it gives a better feel to the clutch in my opinion. Bleed the clutch as for a little fluid lost might solve the problem for very little cost.
  24. Something like this https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/clutches/listing-1857433196.htm
