  1. My 530i has recently started intermittently having an issue where it shudders under acceleration and isn't delivering power properly for a short period (5-10 minutes) then goes back to normal like nothing had happened afterwards. Tends to happen when the car is cold, seems like a gearbox issue to me - anyone able to shed any more light on the problem?

    Cheers :D


  2. Well its the wrong one for your car...It is for a E39 but there are two types. I'll have to give you a credit and you'll have to get the correct one for your car.

    I was hoping you were going to come with the car as I told Chris to fit it for you when you came in.

    I can get you a new one by chassis# less 10% or you'll have to try around to get a 2nd hand one.

    Ah. I see. That would explain it. I'll bring the car in next week if I get time.

  3. Just give me a call

    Hi Glenn, thanks for sorting our the lock motor for me. However I've run into trouble while fitting it - the electrical connection from the release switch on the car has a 6 pin connector (although only 5 wires) while the lock motor has a 4 pin socket. How can I get around this?

  4. Hi all, I've recently bought an E39 I'm looking at lowering - I've heard good things about Snells Springs for compression, but I've got a few questions. I picked up a set of lowering springs (down springs i think they are) for an E39, but they were from a wagon - I figure the rear springs will be stiffer and therefore need compressing to sit correctly in a sedan? Is this a better option than compressing all four standard springs? And will I need to get my shocks shortened? I'm wanting to go right down to the legal limit.

    Thanks in advance!


  5. Hi, I'm having an issue with the boot lock on my E39 - when I try to open the boot using the release on the outside or the one by the drivers foot I get a loud whirring noise (sounds like a cog slipping repeatedly) and the boot won't open. I can still open it with the key, but no joy from the handle/release latch. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
