  1. Yes, lots to play with on these cars. I sorted the Park sensors, seemed to be picking up the tow ball when the sun hit it. Just tweaked the innermost sensors positions slightly and its OK now. However, they don't disable when the trailer is connected. It's LED trailer lights, and they don't flash so at least thats good, unlike a lot I've heard about, even with dealer tow bars fitted! I love the Porsches (911's) & love to hate the BMW's but have to admit they drive the best for any car in their class & age, like compared to S500 Merc's to the E66 or say Jag, Audi, etc to the E39. Nothing can beat the feeling of an older 911 when it's driven in anger. Not "nice" but certaining the most exciting car you'll drive of that era. When I got the E66, bar was fitted later than was arranged, so just hitched up the trailer & off to Taupo. It went really well but the alternator died. Got that sorted (under warranty) down there & it drove home fine, then to Hawkes Bay & back, no problems. Feels like something is just not quite right in the electrics / computer department but can't put my finger on it. Different things all the time but nothing really important. Dealer & Indy both said battery was a bit old and needed replacing. I am hoping thats it and will put in a AGM (?) next week. (& get it registered)
  2. Both imports, I'll have to make the effort and get some better pictures.
  3. Hi all, Just to say I've recently bought a late 2003 E66, and consequently browsed the forums and tested the warranty. It's the 3rd BMW I've bought, 1st was an E30 for the then girlfriend. It was heavy to drive, and swore I'd never own another BMW. Some years & cars later, had to eat humble pie with a friend and got her an E39 M spec. Best car I've ever "owned", and still got it. Drives great. E66 was a spur of the moment buy (yep, the're cheap now) to tow a race car. Must say it's really comfy when there is a long drive towing, and it tows great. Problems only appeared between testing it and the dealer getting the towbar fitted. Park Sensor issues and assorted error codes. Hmmm. I'll be getting an OBDII cable & software and having a play soon. (Then likely another car with a towbar to take it to the dealers when it won't start anymore after my fiddling).
  4. Hi, same here. Just got a Dec03 745Li and halogens and park bulbs, no way to put in an angle eye bulb, but the lights seem to have angle eyes in them. Wonder if you cut the blank circle out where the angle eye light should go, will the mounts etc be in the headlight as well? Wondering if anyone has butchered a set to find out in the past.
