Thank you Dylan :-D

Any way to check? take the side panel door off and have a nosey?

Hah Sadly :-(

Hey guys, Randomly my back right window has decided not to go down any more :-( It did once upon a time but now when you press the button to have it down I hear a "click" sound and then nothing happens ... Anyone run into anything similar? And yes yes... I did make sure the window lock was set to unlocked lol

Hah nice! Sadly out of the 4 I had they have all gone to new homes :-( had Zx6r, K6 gsxr, Honda cbr600 and a niel lighting - all fun toys but the car has my heart - I even miss her when she's parked in the garage... A definite bond haha

Thank you for the welcome and info! I will be sure to get these checked out :-)

Hah thanks man! Yep she is my first car / BMW... Been a bike man all my life and had to get a car so why not get the one you secretly wanted as a kid! Yeah the headlights were way worse than in those photos man - I bought a headlight cleaner kit from repco and it seemed to do the job considering how bad they used to look but if you have any other advice as to how to get them looking like new again, fire away!

Thank you Michael, Yeah it's been great on gas so far especially on long drives, town driving not sooo much but yeah it's good. I am currently hunting for a nice AC Schnitzer kit to slap on it - was thinking of getting some BBS rims with a black powder coat. It's already pretty low as in have to angle over bumps etc - I have slapped new white LED Angel Eye markers on the car which look the part. Would love to get the tints a bit darker and that's probably about it :-)

Hey guys, Haven't introduced myself and I have made a few posts already so my apologies! My name is Jordy and here is my pride and joy: http://pho.to/CgPT

Has anyone done it or know if it's possible rather than replacing the whole mirror? The glass has got crap on it and unfortunately I can't just "clean" it as such - both sides need to be replaced. Anyone recommend a decent wrecker?

Thank you thank you :-)

I would really be keen on this buy mine isn't quite as staunch as I'd like it to be just yet... Here she is: http://pho.to/CgPT

Fair enough :-)

Anyone?

Wondering if all E39 owners are interested in a car meet or something / if there isn't already one sorted I just don't know of. Be cool to meet other enthusiasts, share some laughs, few beers ( not that I'm promoting drink driving ) but you catch my drift.

Unfortunately a prepurchase inspection was not carried out due to the car being a $1 reserve auction ( owners said it was to let the market decide it's value ) was always serviced in house by their towing company. The car was the bosses of the company so they did look after it. It's due for a service soon so I'll get them to do that whilst sorting everything else

Hey guys, I'm sure you would have seen my previous post regarding the fuel issue... have finally burned through that yucky half tank of 91 and 95 - she now has a full tank of 95 ready to go through. There is another issue that has come up since that retard put 91 in my car... my car sometimes doesn't know when to change gears when you feel as though it should. It's a 530i 2001 Motorsport and when I throw it in M sport it's very smooth but normal ( that's what I'll call it ) cruising at 100ks the exhaust starts rattling like mad and makes a sound as if you've crossed the centre line. In "normal" mode when you put your foot down, it doesn't change gear until full redline - never used to do that. Along with all of this the engine light has been on - told me to check the oil and I've topped it up... engine light is still on - I am wondering if this is all because of the fuel issue?

Yes they strobed once but hasn't happened again

Hahaha good response ;-)

Are they any good? Do you have any idea on prices?

Anyone recommend a decent place for me to take my E39 to get a service? I'm based in Auckland CBD but can go anywhere really... Just keen to not get raped on price! lol

Here they are fitted! https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hpho...375721864_n.jpg

Ah wow what a pain! Thanks for the heads up :-)

That's all good - only have them on at night and don't want to completely blind people...

Woooo! haha hopefully it literally is as easy as it sounds! Will post some pics of her when she's all brighty whitey! Damn that factory yellow...
