    Ended upbought the radiator and some other parts through fcp euro and get them shipped here for only us$75.

    I honestly very happy with service and surprised that roughly about a week later I've got the packages. Upon inspection, they actually ship them by air! I dont expect that at all.

    So, car now has new cooling system and some parts are upgraded to better quality (metal pump).

    Thanks for your help guys.

    Hi. Just wanting to find some comments from you guys about any experience on this brand that floats around in trademe.

    My E39 decided to crap the expansion tank last saturday and I've been suspecting a small/tiny leak on the passenger side tank. So, it is time to overhaul the system.

    I also want to know if there's aluminium thermostat housing and if there's anyone in Akl (or NZ) sells/stocks them? The plan is to future proof it.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Looks very nice.

    I'm still confused with all this aftermarket headunits.

    What will happen with the OBC setting? Such as the fuel consumptions & travel distance? What about the aux ventilation that I found handy on a hot day?

    Whe you remove the stock HU, does it mean that you remove the device to control them?

    Shed me some light if you will.

    Thanks,

    Hi all.

    My 1st technical post in this place.

    My 1st bimmer, bought 2nd hand. Not much history about it.

    Anyway, to the topic, my rear-right door window is seem to be stuck closed. Not sure what's going on. If I press the button down, seems like there's a subtle click from behind the panel. So, I guess, the motor should be fine. Or is not?

    What is the signs if my motor is busted or if the regulator it self is busted? I haven't tried to crack open the door card yet. Haven't got any guts yet to do it. If its my honda, I'd be puling the glass window out.

    I'm quite handy with tools and mechanical. But, when it comes to bimmers, I'm kind of chickened out. Worried that I make things worse without a good decent guidance. -_-

    Anyway, that's all for now.

    Thanks everyone.

    Gents.

    Looking for e39 (2001) rhs wing mirror motor kit/unit with bronze-ish tint. Not quite sure if mine has demister.

    My motor unit got a few broken plastic parts that was glued together in place. I think I only need the motor unit with all the gears intact.

    cheers

    will

    Guys guys, they're not for sale. If I ever replaced them they'd be put in storage if I ever have to sell it. I'm guessing selling an M3 coupe Vader-less would be harder than with Vaders.

    I'm thinking Recaro SR4's for replacements, but apparently I have to go through a cert if I change the rails :blink:

    I don't even know what you're trying to say here?

    let me know. I still got my sr4 red recs from my civic. looking to sell that one. pretty much sitting in one of the bedroom/storage in the house for the last 2 years or so. no rips, no ciggie hole. bolster a bit tired, rhs of driver side.

    last time i took them out were clean as.

    I decided to grab it. I need to get this upgrading the car as soon as i can.

    Anyway, found that the abs sensors been replaced, new radiator tank (pheewww), new rear arm bushes, and few more bits& pieces. Driven it once, and it rides very comfortable. 1st bimmer, and hopefully i have good long years with it.

    Now, a few problems that i couldnt seems to understand: the remote keys does nothing. 1key gives a red light blipped quickly once, but doesn't do anything. The spare one, do nothing at all. Went online to do a bit of digging on key issues. Found that mine aren't the diamond shaped, but a rounded butt end type with what seems to be 1 big button, & 1 small button (Which one is unlock & lock?). Ive red all about re-initialisation of the chip. But still not confident enough. Need someone to help me on this issue.

    Next thing is driver side wing mirror couldn't be adjusted. As I adjust with the buttons, i heard the motor noises, but no movement on the mirror it self. The mirrors folding in alright, though.

    Also, ive read that the region format of the radio can be adjusted. Mine is jap import. If someone can guide me through to change the region, it would be much appreciated. Car's garaged, i haven't use it since. Been using the corolla to work.

    Anyway, any respond from you guys are much appreciated. Got a big learning curve ahead of me.

    Cheers

    Greetings everyone.

    I thought this is time to mature up, let go my daily hatch (been serving me for 4+ years at least?) and moving on with life. Things changes now, and a little civic doesn't suit my situation anymore.

    Anyway, just want to know what do you guys comment on e39 wagon? In particular the 530i? I've been watching the trademe for quite a while, and they rarely appears on the market. There's one that has 179'sk mileage, but not sure about the tidiness. This will be my 1st bimmer, so I'm not so sure what to look. I need the space of the wagon, but not quite sure if I want to drive an SUV. I don't mind a ute, but SUV is just an overkill in my view.

    Is the car expensive (within reasonable limit) to maintain?

    If I want to buy, what should I watch for?

    What will be the difference for the imported ones?

    I think thats all for now. Please check my trademe discussion here: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=42319

    You can get a 4-door with the msport kit on it. Add an LSD and a decent suspension setup, some sport seats etc and apart from the trainspotters telling you it ain't an msport, it may as well be. Goes just as well, with all the same goodies.

    See my sig below.

    Although my next e30 will be a coupe. Bought a 4-door to lug friends around, but now I have no friends. (Jokes, I am just sick of them tracking muck in all over my interior.)

    Welcome, and seriously, buy a bimmer - that Honduh is clouding your vision.

    thats a neat e30. i want sedan too.... i cary passengers pretty often. but yea, i might compromise that for a neat coupe. =P
