will do. just got home from work, tried tp start it up again. electrics work again until i need to crank it. By that I mean position 1 & 2 brings up all dash lights and tv aircon works. Maybe battery has problem chargong. Will hopefully get it looked at tomorrow. Does AA do these checks?

Could this be a failed alternator?

The car looks bad and whoever made it look like that should feel bad...

No, battery was tested during service 2 weeks back and had good charge.

CAR DOES NOT START AT ALL! I drove home from uni, made something to eat and had a rest. (3:10pm) Jumped into car to go to work and car wouldn't start (4.30pm) Turning the key does nothing at all. I am sure its not the battery as that was replaced last year and there is no *tick tick tick* sound like a dying dead battery would sound. No lights come onto dash regardless of key position. No crank sound. Any points on what I could check on first? To make it worse its parked on road and I can't really move my car. Problems before this incident: Slight misfire Oil leak Extended crank times especially long when engine is warm

Welcome & thats a good looking car you have there!

Thanks, but I was looking for the whole muffler + the tip. Seems very hard to find. Edit: Trying to find second hand ones at a reasonable price. New one is $1300 +

I am wanting to buy a authentic AC Schnitzer muffler for E39 like this one: Thanks

Welcome & Ray on Bimmersport at HELLBM does manual conversions.

Has a final decision been made yet? Very interested to see the results!

No, I wish I had the money to do that. This is a spare from my previous E39 when I bought some buttons to fix my TV and it came along with it.

Want $50 for it. Free shipping for Bimmersport members http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=528958928

Hi, About the keys, they aren't synchronized with the car. The round button is the LOCK button and the rectangle one is the UNLOCK button. You can try resync your keys by: !

I mean places where someone cleans it for me. I am not confident doing it myself and if anything goes wrong it won't be my fault.

Are there any methods which could be done to pinpoint oil leaks? I am leaking oil fast enough that there will always be a few fresh drops on the ground. Valve cover gaskets fixed approximately 1 month ago. Any chance of them leaking again? Also, I have thought about steam cleaning the engine bay but I cannot find any place in Christchurch which are still open to do that. Thanks

Wow that msport wagon looks great! 530i performs a lot better than 525i and usually have better specs

A little off topic but did 528is come with the sports seats or just the comfort seats?

I second what Alan said. Also I heard many importers don't like Singapore models? They said something about the climate there and are usually lower spec cars. Then again I may have heard wrong...

I vote burgundy. Black cars with burgundy coloured interior is

Was just about to say that.

Just a link to the BRZ STI Visit My Website

Buy a BRZ Sti when it comes out and swap the badges? haha. I am assuming they would fit perfectly

Do most mechanics or workshops offer injector cleaning? I mean cleaning as in taking them out individually and cleaning them. Or would only specific places do them. Thanks

Mostly heard positives about this car other than the acceleration. I think these are certainly cooler than RX8s or 350zs. Interior seems to look very nice. Personally I would wait for a FI version then it would be an AWESOME car.
