Used for approx 20,000kms, plenty of life in it yet. The maf is from a VW something a rather, and has been installed in to the original bmw housing. The VW MAF sensor works fine with the m62tu engine. $50

I have installed an alpine 250w rms amp running a 12" in to the boot of mine. I used a line level converter I got from Jay car for $20, and tapped in to the rear left shelf speaker. I now run a dice silverline duo, very happy with the results.

There are several grades of leather. The link to the online ETK to check the options list of your BMW has details about the different grades. Most NZ new e39's came with the lowest grade leather that i've seen.

There is a brand new bimmer parked outside nearly every week. This one is definately my favourite so far. Neighbour works for BMW. Sweet Perk!

1 of the 2 M5's currently in the country. I know what 228k will be spent on if I win lotto. Merry Xmas all!

That's $25 US + shipping.

This came as a bonus gift with my recently purcahsed Dice Silverline Duo Kit, however I have no need for it. It is brand-new and never been used, same as the one in this link : http://diceelectronics.com/remote-kit.html $40 pick up in Central AKL area.

Hi All, I have a nz new 99' 540i that came with the in-car phone, the manual says it's compatible with the old GSM 900mhz standard, I'm wondering if there is a way to make it compatable with the TCNZ XT network (UTMS 850,2100mhz) ? The reason being is that work pays for my phone calls, they have given me a second sim card to put in my car, so when someone calls my mobile while im driving, the call diverts to the sim card for my car phone. I think at this stage I will just need to purchase a VFNZ pre pay and chuck it in to the car phone, and setup call divert on my mobile to divert to the VFNZ mobile. Any one tried converting their in car phone to become UTMS capable?

My old ones? Curbed already? lol

Cheers Matt! :-) :-) Decisions, decisions.. looks like it needs the msport front and rear bumpers now...

Recently acquired a set of 18x8.5 BBS RK's for the 540i I'm toying with the idea of painting them black, what do you guys reckon? Are there any photoshoppers out there with skill levels at the power of awesome be able to show me a pic of them in black?

Can anyone confirm that the face-lifted (colour coded) impact strips on the front bumper, fit the pre-facelift bumper? This is for the e39 5-series. Thanks! :-)

No bumper support included. In fair condition - needs paint work, as well as some attention to the driver side carrier (bit that clips on to the fender) Comes with pre-cut out holes for the cold weather/winter package (washer jets for the headlights). Trims included as per the pic. Pickup in AKL only. $50

Will post pics up shortly. Made of fibre-glass, excellent condition and unused. Identical to lips found on these e39's : http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt....php?p=17770199 $120 Pickup in AKL only, the lip is unpainted.

I had this issue on my 540i late last year (m62tub44) Ialready replaced the battery in 2009. It turns out that the battery terminals need a clean. I used some water and baking soda along with an old electric tootbrush head to scrub them up. never had the issue since.

$700 ? ;-)

Have had a few stones wedged in between the disc and backing plate over the years with my e39's. I usually just give the backing a plate a smack on it's backside with my hand and it seems to loosen the offending stone.

Loving that B12 750i !!

In the rear I currently have eibach lowering springs installed to standard sachs shocks. The car is a non msport so does not have the msport sachs shocks, or msport top strut mounts. I plan to replace the rear shocks with bilstein sports (the ones designed for lowered setups) as they're naffed, and am wondering if its better to fit the msport strut mounts, or the standard ones. Any Ideas? Also with bump stops, they look to be the same for non msport and mpsort suspension cars, will i need to get them trimmed? In the rear, the car sits approx 1 inch lower than standard non msport car height if that helps. Cheers.

I highly doubt that's true.

Just got the 540 back, very happy with the work. Highly recommend these guys. Good price too!

Have mine in there for some paint work atm, will let you know.
