Ray I'm after a Power Steering Reservoir Cap for a 1999 E39 540i, can you help. Kind regards Pete

I am after a towbar for a 1999 E39 540i. Please let me know if anyone has one or can recommend a good place to get one preferably in Wellington or Kapiti coast. Regards Huttey

Why do people share their problems but never share their solutions, got me puzzled as isn't this what a forum is all about so can learn from other member's experiences.

Welcome

I feel sorry for you as well, did they make much of a mess of your place. Anyone else have some nice 17" alloys and tyres

Hi, It is hard to tell from the picture but you have the central bit around gear selector, ash tray etc?

Probably easier just to send them from home, I have sent you a PM

Is anyone travelling from Auckland to Wellington (or close) that has room for 4 x 17" Wheels with tyres on them.

Jono went to PM you but your mailbox is full, Thanks Jono, just got a quote from garage $3,500 for the E39 to get a warrent, and they got a $1,000 of me last month, so might need to put the exterior on hold for a little while, Pete

Hi, quite keen, are all tyres able to pass a WOF. Any idea of cost to get them to Wellington

I'm after a front bumper for a 1989 E34 535 (blue) and also a front bumper for a 1999 E39 540 (silver)

I'm afer a good condition reasonably priced E46 328 or 330. Let know if you something sitting in the back of garage. Based in Wellington but can travel if worth while.

Well ex wife just returned my car (1999 E39 540). Drivers door inside door opener broken, right hand fog light disappeared as has most of the bumper (someone must have backed into me - yeah right). So question is does anyone have these items for sale?

Subscribed I am interested in how you find these units (the steering wheel controls, text display capability, navigating your way around). Do they provide cables to go from the boot to front of the car so you hook up an iPhone in the cabin?

Thanks Glen hope your right

Thanks Darkwolf, I thnk your right

It sounds like it's running on about 4 cylinders, indications are either PCV or head gasket but no tell tale signs like milky oil or big loss of water, so I thought getting the codes read would be the best next step, I am hesitant to drive it anywhere to get them read though, hence the question if anyone in Wellington had a code reader I could borrow.

Not knowing what is actually the problem I'm hesitant to move the car at the moment. Has anyone in Wellington a code reader I could borrow, that is if this problem does register a code ?

Has anyone any ideas on why the dip stick tube is sucking a lot of air, I thought someone with a mechical background may know what this would generally point to. Can a lack of oil result in blown head gasket, oil is not milky and water is o/k.

Car started blowing heaps of white smoke, checked water and antifreeze both o/k, low on oil, filled up oil, now sounds like its running 6 cylinders with the engine continuing to blow smoke, engine image is flashing on left hand side of dash, take out dip stick and a lot of air getting sucked in through dip stick tube. Any ideas ? before I take it to the doctor. Who best and not too expensive in Wellington or any knowledgeable mechanics looking for a home job.

Welcome, another E39 540, excellent !! Have fun with your big toy
