My new E31, Breaks issue
kiwi535 replied to vincentfrandsen's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
I think you need to take this car to someone whi is as familiar withthese cars as possible and get them to give a very careful going over.For the present i would say you better give the brake at least a complete flush out ,sounds like the calipers are partially seized,probably because the brake fluid hasnt been changed regularly. -
that e 39 M5 sounds awesome

what was the tank size on the e60?...its good to know what one can get out a tank,but the size of the tank tells the true story.My old 535 was pretty average on gas ,but the good sized tank made road trips ok 70-80l makes for a good range at about 10-11-12 l/100k.welly tauraunga welly auckland on a tank no worries.The 120 is even better 900k on only 45l.so how many litres was your normal fill up on the M5?

not for me,i dont have the space,time or inclination to do any work on a car save a clean or maybe an oil change .If i didnt have a long commute or worked in town where bus etc was good i would have such a car in my garage.

dont be a dick....I havent got room for three cars and a bike,so the car i buy would automatically become the daily driver.They are becoming so cheap they are knocking on the same price as a 530d!

surely better to fix the problem so you get a true warning when you do lose a bulb.Have you got LEds or similar.What does the warning actually say?

i do 25 k each way most days.A lot of that is at the speed limit,though there are lots of traffic lights.I give mine a good rev out and full throttle at least once a week

i have a 120d.The torque is addictive,but the running costs arent as good as they seem,still have the get the torque thing and excellent range.The steering and braking is very sharp imho,the interior room is not as good as a FWD car but thats the price you pay for having an vey balanced platform i guess

E34 OBC Errors - Tail, Lisc Plate, Dip Beam, Brake - SOLVED
kiwi535 replied to roo's topic in Electrical system

License plate can be the boot hing wiring LKM resoldering is the fix for when you lights sometimes randomly dont work or go out look here http://www.bmwe34.net/ they all common E34 problems can also get obc errors when using different brand bulbs and or one light is about to blow.I used to replace bulbs in pairs and keep the other one for a spare -
its not about the "strength" of the motors I think Andy is Wary of the fact that its had lots of shorts runs andor lots of sitting around with relatively "dirty "oil
