No doubt his comments after this were interesting !!

I think he is dim enough to leave it going and hopes he can unload his bad hair day

anyone in Wellington do this, have two cars that have dents that look like they could be pulled out

I have a 1999 E39 540 Auto, Recently it is surging at low rev's, has anyone encountered this and have any idea of the cause. On occasion at low revs it can also be quite clunkey changing gear.

Also can anyone recommend a Wellington based garage other Shelly's who can see what faults codes are in the system and who can perform a good tune.

and .. can you move it like an aileron from inside the car

I need to replace my front door speakers (vibrate with bass), two options

1. Do it myself, I have details on removing door panels but they don't mention anything special needing to be done for airbags, has anyone any experiences in doing this.

2. Get a sound shop to do it - can anyone recommend a sound shop in Wellington that is reasonably priced, knows their stuff and experienced with Beemers particularly and E39

99 540iA

14 to 15 litre/100k around town

9.6 litre/100K open road, Taihape to Auckland at avge of 91km/hr

Well done Jochen

Have you got the part nrs for the Nav unit and radio tuner. Did you make a copy of the DVD ?

I read on a US post, that often, all you need to do is reseat them

I saw this post on wheel repair may help

I have just purchased a 1999 E39 540i - Japanese Import and I am looking for the most effective solution for getting the radio's FM band to cover NZ stations (band expander, replacement radio unit, ????). Has anyone been down this road and found a cost effective solution.

Also it has a Mk II Nav system which is in Japanese with maps of Japan, does anyone know if this system be changed/converted to English and if there are maps for NZ.

Any help is most appreciated.

I have also posted this in Appearance and Audio

Have talked to Jochen, thanks, any more ideas appreciated

:jap: to

Thanks Brent and Nimma.

I have searched all the forums I could find but couldn't find a post for World radio.

My 1999 E39 has a MKII Nav and Radio system that doesn't have the "m" button. Do you know the equivalent of the "m" button in my set up.
