Car sold.

Funnily the error light is gone now. I haven't done anything, neither change the pads, nor change the sensor, nor reset the computer.

So the sensor needs replacing each time the warning light goes on then?

Hi. The brake-pad warning lights up on my dashboard (1996 E39 520i). After replacing the pads, do I need to reset the warning lights, or would it automatically detect that the pads are new and stop lighting up on the dashboard?

Asking price lowered to $4500. Still negotiable though.

It was there when I bought it. Just couldn't be bothered taking it off.

After having the pleasure to own the BMW for 2 years, I need to let this car go. I am going back to Malaysia for good at the end of April, and the Malaysian government only permits me to bring back one car (as a student). As a full-time house wife, the government doesn't permit my wife to bring back any car. Since I have 6 children, I have to use this one-car-only permission for my Previa. And hence no BMW for me for awhile. In Malaysia, a similar Previa would cost about NZD35000 and a similar BMW NZD23000! Anyway back to the car. Its WOF and licence run until end of August 2011 and June respectively. More detail information and picture can be found in my Trademe listing, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=366233418. The asking price there is $4500. But I'm willing to lower my expectations quite a bit.

I need a rear right ball joint for a 1996 E39 520i. What is your price plus shipping to Dunedin. Or is this one ok? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-356401453.htm Khairul

I'm in Pinehill too! Like me, you'll probably feel the effect of small engine in climbing our hills. I don't know how often you go down and come up Pinehill, but I do this at least 3 trips a day, and hence wish to have a bigger engine. Anyway welcome. Probably will bump into each other (not literally though!).

Oh I read your message too late. I had instructed the place where I sent my car to to repair the existing wiper motor (he was quoted $300 over for a replacement wiper motor), and the labour time he took to repair it was more than your quote. Well, that's life I guess. Lesson learned.

Windscreen wiper motor for a E39 1996 520i. Want quotes for the cheapest good condition one, plus shippping to Dunedin. Thanks.

Hi guys. Anyone knows a good auto sparky in Dunedin? Has anyone been to the one on the corner of Anzac Ave and Saint Andrew St? Are they good? My wiper is not working, and a mechanic found that no power is going into the wiper motor although the fuses and power to the fuse box are good. Regards. Khairul

And don't forget to put in the "after" pictures, both with the lights on and off in the daytime, as well as night time.

Hi Glenn My wiper problem came back, awhile after fixing it by tightening some bolts as you had suggested. Now both sides would be stuck at the same time randomly anywhere in the middle of the windscreen. Sometimes when they got stuck at intermittent or low speed, pushing the stalk to high speed would move the wiper again, but sometimes not. And the washer is not squirting the cleaner as strong as it should. The left nozzle very weakly, and right nozzle does not squirt at all. I tried filling up the reservoir with more cleaner, but no change. I read some blogs (http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=30428&start=0), and then took out two relays and one of them is a bit damaged at the contacts. Could that be the reason? If the relay is not expensive I could buy one and try it out. Any advice?

PM Brent (username Brent HARTGE535i). I remember him mentioning to me he has some, angel eyes and non-angel eyes.
