    Hi guys,

    After a trip to Tauranga on the long weekend, my back left tail right has been doing some funky stuff...

    When I press on the brakes I get the reversing sound in the car ( gear will be in drive ). Error messages on the cluster "Check Brake Light" "Check Fog Light" etc etc...

    I've gone into the boot and played with the wiring, just moving around and I can get the light to work - So at least there is nothing wrong with the unit.

    Can anyone recommend a good local (Auckland CBD) auto sparky? I've called most places and they are booked up.

    I had this same issue a few weeks ago.

    I followed all the instructions and nothing worked for me. Then found this. Theres one extra step. Once you have the led flashing point the key towards the reciever/mirror and push one of the buttons again and you should be good to go.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Guys,

    A few months back I needed to replace the battery in my car. With this, my keys lost the programming to my car.

    I can lock the door with the key in the drivers door and car starts so that's a plus.

    Just the unlock and lock functions don't work on the car.

    There is battery in the key itself so that's ok, I checked fuse 53 as it's common to blow with the fuel filler actuator - not blown in boot or glove box

    Here is a clip on the issue:

    Hi Guys,



    So this morning I passed my Full Drivers test - yaayy... But my great news was saddened upon learning that my license was yet to be served suspension documents.



    I've been on the phone to Land Transport and they are advising I surrender my documents because their servants have not been able to meet with me in person to serve me the documents.



    These documents were issued on their end on December 2012, we are 9 months down the track and still nothing. I'm wondering if I have any grounds legally to stand on here or just play ball and hand over my license for 3 months?

    I had the same thing in the touring, and only just fixed it after doing the wiring relocation. Turns out that it was the Liquid Alarm sensor in the boot behind all the amps and cd changer etc. What I did was disconnect the battery, unplug the sensor and remove it. Placed it on the kitchen bench until the liquid settles at the same level, then plug it back in and reconnect the battery. Also have a look at fuse 48 above the battery, its the alarm fuse and that red/blk wire is integrated into the central locking system too

    Cool will give this a try - thanks!

    Hi Guys,

    Recent issue occurred with the car... The central locking on my car isn't working.

    I checked the fuse in the boot, hasn't blown. Batteries on my key are fine as the red light appears when I press either unlock or lock. I've tried reprogramming the key and still nothing.

    Has anyone come into this issue before? Any other potential solutions?

    Bought an 01 non M 530i wagon with 144ks for a hair over 8k. Kinda feel the sedans (unless low km minters) are a bit overpriced given they're starting to get a bit older.

    Then again I am a cheap bastard.

    Advertise it at 10k, chances are the market will meet you at a fair point inbetween :)

    GLWS!

    Thanks for this!

    What are your thoughts on selling it damaged? Should I get it fixed?

    If you can get the side fenders for cheap then its worth doing. make sure its the right colour. lots of diff silver options.

    how bad is the damage? is it something that can be looked over or it definitely needs fixing cuz its an eye sore?

    i would say about $8-9k easily but 10 or even more if potential buyers are in the market.

    i personally would avoid $1. also is it nz new or jap import? service history receipts?

    Re the damage it bothers me when I walk past the front of the car so it's definitely something to fix myself or the next owner to do.

    Jap import, Servicing is done by Team McMillan BMW however - I don't have receipts because they do a cashy for me... Flatmate works for them which is handy.

    That's good to know resale value! Holding it's value some what.

    Hi Guys,

    The time tell sell my beloved is nearing closer and I'm wondering what I would be looking at in terms of selling her.

    She's got 147k on the clock, 2002, large display, all the motorsport trimmings, sunroof - all the bits you'd want.

    Along with the motorsport body kit and window tints however, the front of the car is sporting a couple of love bites on each site. Both passenger and driver front fenders would need to be either replaced or panel beated and the front bumper may need replacing.

    With this in mind how much would I be looking at resale? Is it one of things I just put a $1 reserve on and watch it go?

    What I'm also tossing up is, do I spend the extra cash to fix up the damage on it "in hope" of a higher resale value or sell as is? I've found a E39 wrecking that has all the body parts I need in good condition.

    The car is mechanically sound, just had new radiator put in, new battery, tyres are good and no errors messages.
