Hah as much as I would like to the aim behind this is to free up some cash where possible to save for a house. I understand that would mean downgrading.

Hi Guys, Title is pretty self explanatory. What's more economical? I currently have a 2003 E39 530i Motorsport. I always fill with 95 and a full tank is around $150 to get 500 or so k's out of. That's not really economical if I'm honest and I know it's a heavy car / doesn't like sitting in traffic as it sucks the gas. So with the more modern E60 shape and iDrive - are they more economical to maintain? I have been considering ditching the car for something still fun / cheaper to maintain. A Subaru WRX or a Mazda Axela.

Hey mate,The issue is your ignition coils - I've had the same issue before - replaced mine and the car ran perfectly again. Ray from HellBM helped me with this - did a scan etc - good guy!

No one else can help on this front? I got pulled over last night and got let off but still... there must be someone here that has done this or can help...

Hey guys, So I tried getting into the headlights on the weekend and this proved to be impossible... managed to remove them from the car, applied the heat gun and being cautious tried to remove the plastic headlight cover and no luck. Is there anyone on here that can help me install the parts I have for this as I NEED to get a WOF asap for the car. Will happily pay $$ I am in the Auckland / Parnell region.

How much did BMW charge you to get them done?

Thanks for all the info guys! Will let you know how I get on :-)

Hey Guys, Right I've got the parts now I just need a little help as to how to put them in. I've got a heat gun as my lights are angel eyes - just wondering how long this would ideally take or if anyone has done this before they can help with a process on how to do it?? Many thanks!

Yeah I thought I saw them a few weeks back too - will keep an eye out. Have you had the same issue Tristan?

Hey Guys, My headlight adjusters on my 2002 E39 530i are broken which is stopping me from passing a warrant. Does anyone have any fixes or know anywhere I can take my car to get this sorted? Had a look on youtube and the fixes are mostly for US E39's which are a little different to mine so not sure if those fixes will apply to my car. Any help is appreciated :-)

Hey guys, I'm in need of both passenger and drivers side mirrors to get a warrant. Anyone selling any or know where I can get these from a decent wrecker?

Won't be a coil as you'll know if the car has really lost power / whole car shakes on idle. Def your battery - replace it! :-)

Good to know - thanks man! :-)

Beauty! Thanks for this and even better as they are just down the road from me - parnell location. Thanks again! :-)

Right so me and my silly driving has resulted in me needing a panel beater! Nothing major just front left panel along with a small dent in the bonnet. Anyone have someone decent to go see? Hopefully won't cost me an arm and a leg lol

Thank you thank you!

And this is fine for a full car incl luggage etc? Thank you for posting btw!

Hi Guys, This morning my tyre blew out just before the bridge - replaced it and pumped the tyres up to 47psi on all of them... Please recommend PSI for front and back... Tyre dimensions are 235/45/17. URGENT!

Oh yeah, those are nice - look kinda like mine.... damn I really need to fix mine! http://i48.tinypic.com/rrpnc8.jpg

Ah wow sounds like you've done a lot of work! I wonder how much difference this is between mine and yours re power... I can't imagine there would be a heap! I'm so jelly of your headlights... they are so clear! I took the headlight cleaner kit to my car and it worked but needs more - especially now that I have new angel eye LED markers in there :-(

Haha! Yeah I hear you on that one - not sure if you would have been following my posts for the past month but my car is finally running mint! Replaced cylinder 4 engine coil and my god... I'm scared of how quick the thing is now lol

Not bad - have you got this or a iPhone car mount in yours?

Can anyone recommend anything decent? Preferably a wind shield mount that extends to the left side of the steering wheel or if anyone has any other good options - suggest away!

Quote? When available?

Hey guys, I need to change the coils in my car - engine light was on and did a scan - here is what returned: SAE Code P1349 DTC Code 17757 Description Ignition Coil Power Output Stage 2 Open Circuit SAE Code P0300 DTC Code 16684 Description Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected SAE Code P0313 DTC Code 16697 Description Misfire Detected Low Fuel Level SAE Code P1342 DTC Code 17750 Description Ignition Coil Power Output Stage 1 Short to B+ Can anyone recommend anywhere to get decent coils from or change of brand anything like that? I just need the parts - this is simple enough to do on my own.
