Hey guys has anyone tried installing the dynavin onto a e38 ? if so could you point me to the right direction?

Reading through the 6 pages i understand that the steering control work, but does this dynavin also connect to the bmw computer to show the consumption and other stuff on the screen?

Cheers.

Hi guys I also need a Gold-blue right hand side door mirror with auto dimming and heating.

let me know if you have one for sale. Also im looking for one that has its photo chormatic features still working.

my current mirror is intact but the golden color liquid has dripped to the bottom of the frame.

Any one of you brothers have any spare or for sale bmw e38 clips. These are the clips that hold the wood trim onto the dash. I only need 2 for the small right hand side piece by the steering wheel.

Wreckers dont care about these clips and ebay ones each cost way too much with postage.

here is an attached pic of what it looks like.

Thanks for your timing guys.

you can pm me or text me 021632749.

Haha, not going to happen! Need tires to get them on the car then pics, if you're lucky!

Soo aparently there aren't and Goodyear eagle f1s in the country in my size eather.

So can get a Hankook K110 v12 evo tire for 175 ea

The Kumho KU31 tires are 210 ea.

decisions decisions!

will you tell us which shop quoted that price for the hankooks? as the cheapest i could find was $275

checking tyre rack now. And thanks for the info on load ratings.

Absolutely clear now. Cheers brother. Will check and thank you again when i sort it.

Just opened the whole thing up after work today. Turns out the rubber gormmet that puts the levelling switch in place is missing and the switch has been dangling in turn, causing that washer alert. Ill go and guy a grommet

On that note, looking at the switch, the sensor in it is all rusted and blocked, you think i can just give it a clean to make it work again or do i have to replace that too?

Again thanks a lot for helping me get to the bottom of this.

hey guys does anyone know why my gear selection panel LED (Park) is always on in the central console by the lever? Even when my car has keys out, locked and sitting for hours. or is it meant to be like that? If so what a waste of battery power.

Im just checking that this car has not been singapore "engineered" or something.

If you take the wheel off and just undo the rear section of the guard liner you will be able to check whats leaking... I'd check it first before buying anything. I don't know who has cheap pumps...genuine around $90 +Gst with a new grommet

Absolutely clear now. Cheers brother. Will check and thank you again when i sort it.

It's inside the front inner guard liner on the drivers side at the back. You will probably find the motor is leaking the water- a common problem. Replace the motor with a new grommet as well

Ah ok ...you see im not a pro with these body panel terms. so to break it down, do you mean taking the actual right hand side guard out, or is there some kind of a liner inside the engine bay.

i was looking at the realoem to find the thing you are saying, could you advise if its item 7 in this link http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=41&fg=10

Also where can i buy this part from for cheap. Thanks heaps and heaps and heaps.

hey guys any idea how to locate an e38 windscreen washer bottle. The washer fluid runs out as soon as I start pouring into it through the nozzle. After pouring half the bottle and wondering how big the bottled could be to use up half a 5 litre bottle i realised its draining out straight away.

I cant even see the bottle at this point. How do I reach the bottle and the connections is it from underneath the car by removing the bottom covers?

Thanks in advance for it guys (the windscreen screen washer alert is driving me nuts)

@sick puppy and @antil you guys are actually right....it might look good and real but craps my "all factory OEM" plans. Thanks guys much appreciated ill pass on the idea

anyone know much about putting the ebay available red brembo brake pad covers? i was considering as would look cool. But things im considering is i) heat issue, ii) glue falling off ii) would the covers rub against 18" wheels as i saw the wheels are real close to the brakes.

hey guys my e38 came with some continentals 235/50/zr18. the rear ones are 60% worn now and need to get some tyres. calling the usual places gives me prices like $860 per continentals ??? : is there a cheaper good quality option? I really mean any specific brand/shop you guys would suggest for around 200 bux?--without kidding myself

thanks in advance

I have a set of Dunlop Direzza 225/40R18's second hand ill let go for $400 for the lot.

Plenty of tread (around 80%) few rub marks from the e30 but are fine.

PM me if your interested.

Took them off as I went for a lower profile for the e30's 18s

wow these are some nice rubber there brother. Do you know if they will fit my rim though as my current tyres say 235. sorry im a newb with tyres.

A 50 Profile seems high to me for the size your asking. is this for your 7 Series?

Hi yes its a 2001 728i, its got continental conti sports on at the moment. but the crazy prices people offer replacement of continentals are crazy.....for me anyway. thanks for the posts guys

Hey guys sorry my firsts post here after buying my first bmw. any idea there to get good 235 50 zr 18 tyres from ?

i have rung around few places like firestone and beaurepaires they talk prices around $350 each ?
