    http://www.bmw-z1.com/VIN/VINdecode-e.cgi stick the VIN of the car into that tool, will show the build date, likley that you dont have the world tuner.

    This is likely due to the LCM doing cold monitoring on the lights if they are aftermarket you will get this effect, (not related to the optical warning option)

    if its a jap import it probably wont work due to having the IR key/EWS system rather than an RF one.

    nice! TV should work without any alteration, i think? Radio and reverse beeping are coding jobs , Nav will require hardware and coding. See: http://www.swautomotive.co.nz/

    i would have walked away at this point.
  7. matt45
    no because its just what they do. they probably don't know/care that anything is wrong with it.

    1. i would say it IS a Lemon 2. it will have been a trade in so the dealer will want to get back what they paid for it, he will just wait until someone comes along and buys it without inspection for the same price. dont waste your money getting bmworkshop to look at it more they will only find more wrong with it.

    personally i would look for something else (there is quite a few out there) oil in the coolant is not good and by the sounds of it has had a frontal crash at some point.

    BM Workshop315 Great North Road Grey Lynn Auckland http://bmworkshop.co.nz/contact-us/ Im guessing the k's are quite high so all the more reason to have it checked properly Don't trust any dealer to/have service/d it the very most they will have done is change the oil (probably with the incorrect type).

    if your going to get the AA to look at it i wouldn't bother, most of them don't know squat about euro cars. take it to BMWorkshop (closest) if you want a proper inspection ... having said that at least you will have the warranty. How much is it?
  12. matt45
    euro-Italian 100-130$ from memory ... comes as one plastic/rubber part
  13. matt45
    UK import so should have the euro nav (what you want), from bmw the maps are about $800 but there are probably copys floating around. may or maynot need coding to get it to work here .... someone else will be able to answer that.

    if the antennas on window have been ripped off rather than just a small break then there isn't really a fix other than replacing the glass AFAIK. Dice units for ipod intergration : http://www.gadgets4u.co.nz/
  15. matt45
    how long are the antenna leads? long enough to go to the back window? Also once the android version of the e39 unit is out i assume this will work the same with it?
  16. matt45
    just as a point of reference a brand new bumper would probably be at least 1500 from dealer unpainted.
  17. matt45
    generally with something of that age its time to replace the cooling system 100% if it hasnt already been done. Possibly a partially/fully failed waterpump? (just guessing you will need to get it checked out again and just replace everything that they recommend)
  18. matt45
    wiring is totally different ... HellBM should have a replacement 4:3 or if he wanted a 16:9 upgrade
  19. matt45
    Any pics or info on antenna setup?
  20. matt45
    I have the Mtec ones off ebay ... havn't seen this issue with them. Can code out the checking on the LCM for you if you want.
  21. matt45
    Whats the year of the car, it is possible/probable that the Video module will not support 16:9 only 4:3, in which case you will need to swap out both the monitor and the Video module, it should just be a matter of plugging the new ones in, nothing else to change.
  22. matt45
    Do it, if you don't you will regret it every time you try to parallel park. Altho i don't have a monitor i'm blessed with PDC without it i would be 120% screwed, but maybe that's just my lack of judgment. Come to this if you want to show it off abit http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=35796

    Nice! For the radio consider getting a Euro tuner rather than band expander, may seem expensive but the expanders are horrible. definitely look at getting the reversing camera .. grant (hotwire) does the hardware for $250 (i think).
  24. matt45
    Have and still am seriously considering ... my rear folding seats are making it difficult from a wiring perspective.
  25. matt45
    i wish i had that issue! DAMN MID!
