So as most of you know I have a '97 E39 5-Series and the other day I was on the internet and found a website for car keys so I thought I should buy a few and get them cut and kept as spares. I got the keys mostly just to keep at home so if I locked my keys in the car I got another set to be able to get into the car in this event. I am well aware that in order for a key to start the car it must be programed and chipped paired to the car. So I got a key exactly like the diamond shape BMW keys. I was reminded when I got them cut that they wont start the car as the key was most likely for people to swap over the insides of my existing key into. I got them cut and was on my way and I got home before and just out of curiousity I tried to start the car with the keys I just got cut and what do ya know, they started the car. So I thought maybe it was because my chipped key was right next to it so I took it off my key ring and put it inside the house and still the car starts... Now I am thinking my car can start without needing to be chipped, or is there something wrong with the EWS or what ever?

- New key for E39, Diamond shape facelift master key - 7500k CCFL Angel Eyes (Replaced the 10000k ones which were blue, yuck) - White LED interior courtesy lights - White LED liscence plate lights

Awesome, beats the robbers in bongo vans

Ive driven this car many many times. Such a awesome car. It is NZ new and was sold for a bit over $300,000 when it was new

No Shelley, no. I remember way back when you first got this car. Ahh memories. Hopefully someone cool buys it

Hey thanks for all the help fellas. Not much I could really do so now I'm just in Newmarket waiting for a towtruck to come take it over to JC BMW. They can deal with insted

P.s the engine is M52B25

Hey guys. So just now I got to my hospital appointment and drove here fine no over heating at all and had no problems then as soon as I parked and turned the car off a huge amount of steam came out from under the bonnet along with all my coolant all over the ground... Anyone have any ideas!? I couldn't be late for my appointment so I locked the car and left it so haven't had a look under the bonnet yet

Yeah, that would probably be me..... If you couldnt see in the windows then it would be me

DDM Tuning has quite a lot of stuff, just a pity they charge so much for shipping on small items :/

Im getting rid of mine if you want

Sluts in the back of a bagged E60 530i on the corner of K'rd and Symonds Street. Thanks for screaming come say hi to us sexy as I stumbled past with a cheap bottle of wine. I cant decide who was classier on this occasion....

I want this also. I think its setting you get put into your key, it gets done at the BMW dealership

Hi guys, Im after a slipring for my steering wheel on my E39. It is for a multi function steering wheel. Let me know if any of you have one and how much I can take it off your hands for.. Attached is a picture of my steering wheel to give you an idea of which kind of wheel it is for. Thanks fellas

Sounds pretty awesome mate, I myself am going down the semi VIP route with my car also, slowly getting there. I think at the end of the day if you got 19's you're only going to want 20's Might take a big of searching but to find even a set of second hand 20's from someones elese 7-series should be too hard to find just gotta keep looking. Do you have any current pictures of your ride?

I saw this last night I'm pretty sure around Newton. Pre sump crunch. All I saw was wagon and then DISH

But lets not talk to me like I'm an idiot, They could have, I didn't deal with them I just noticed it parked at work obviously there is a high chance the vehicle had changed hands since we saw it or perhaps they had moved.

These people came into my work a while ago looking to trade their car in. Needless to say we didn't trade it because then we would never be able to get rid of it. Can admire the work thats gone into it but I'd say its safe to say it WONT appeal to 98% of people looking for a car in that price range...

Oh I've seen this around too, its pretty loud from what I remember the driver is a pretty young guy also

Yeah I quite like it being beige also as it continues the lines of the leather insert down more and again makes the contrast pop more. I just wondered why only one was done but I stand corrected now. It looks great!!

Oh yeah I saw you as well on Lake Road only I was stealth in silver E46

White 4 door E30, Tech2 with Alpina wheels. Plate OI something... Saw it along Hurstmere Road this morning while having breakfast. Looked up and made eye contact I didn't wave because that would have been weird for everyone. Damn nice car though looked awesome, even my mum said it was cool..

Looks damn awesome! Looks way more exciting than a plain color. But I did notice one thing, tell you changed the tan carpet in the drivers door card for a black one? cos it seems none of the other doors are following the trend...

I kinda got some 18's and tyres for xmas so I should prob wait for a nice set of 19's to come up insted....
