What is your budget? Any preference on white or orange indicators?

May I ask how much did it cost you? looking for one for the 525i.

Neal has sent the link. Sorry I have been away for a while

me too.

Hi Sam, did you ever manage to get this done? Or anything similar?

If your car has the original 4:3 Video Module this should work (it worked on 1998 model): Watch TV / Videotext during driving This works on all 5/7 Series with the Mark I Navigation System (the one with the male voice). On Mark II (the newer version with the female voice) you have to use "brightness" instead of contrast for TV and "colour" instead of brightness for videotext to get the trick to work. This works on the latest 99 7-series models as well. This does not appear to work for the latest BMWs sold in Europe (2000 onward, 3/5/7 series). The software updates for latest navigation CD-ROM's do not appear to affect or disable this trick. 1. set ignition to pos. II 2. enter TV mode 3. enter "settings" 4. enter "contrast" (BRIGHTNESS) 5. when the green contrast bar is visible, push the knob and keep it pressed 6. turn ignition off (keep button pressed!) 7. wait 8-10 seconds (timing must be accurate!) 8. release the knob 9. turn on ignition again Now the TV will operate while the car is in motion, though you certainly should leave that to your passengers only while driving. To watch videotext use the same procedure as above, but choose "brightness" instead of "contrast"

Did you buy the angel eyes LEDs from eBay? I did so they are poor quality I reckon I have the same issue. They fade out pretty fast. I don't think it's a wiring issue as it is pretty straightforward connection. 2 wires only.

Thanks it would be nice to go to a member....

Hi guys I have decided to drop the price for the members here. Anyone could offer $5500 can have the car. Cheers.

Good on you Martin. You deserve a job in the BMW motorsport team.

Scary stuff...

Upgraded headlights to Xenon on the 540i. Unfortunately they came with the white indicators which does not suit the green color of the car, but the difference compared to Halogens is huge.

Did you buy it locally? How much if I may ask? Cheers

Thinking seriously of moving out soon.

Had a look today. Not very tidy inside out and certain things indicate DO NOT BUY ME.

But that's the idea behind it. To clean up the residues. I know it could be tricky though. I will ask BMW their opinion.

What sort of themes?

Not at all, but in the past I was driving a company ute or rentals. Second time with the bimmer though. The trucks are getting more every time I go down there.

sold. Anybody here?

Thinking of doing an engine flush before the oil change next week. Motul is a well respected brand. Any experience? Cheers Dimitrios

Good work so far. Very much impressed with the GT1 ability to check vanos.

Enjoyed a 2 days business trip to Hamilton Tokoroa Rotorua Taupo Whakatane Tauranga and back with my 540i... Thr car wad brilliant, fast, safe, economical (10,1L/100km)but i have to say that the road network outside the motorway sucks....Especially the tarmac quality is so rough. Plus so many bloody trucks. They are EVERYWHERE.

Please contact Daniel at:[email protected] or 0274514367 Please use my name, Dimitrios, and say you are from the BMW club. He is a nice guy. He can do steering wheels, leather seats, etc.

is this a member's car?
