Hi guys I seemed to have solved my spare key problem, so I pass this on to anyone else who might be wanting a second key. Eventually got myself an 'adapter key' from Jeff Gray for the cost of $166. The adapter fob holds a blade manual entry key with a programmed chip in it. So, whilst I have no remote capability, I can gain entry to the car and I can drive it! Not a bad option, which some owners don't know about. Of course, there should have been an adapter key as a spare in the car when I bought it. But it was pre-owned, so enough said.

Thanx for all your answers guys! However, the Auckland key suppliers can only programme the key if you take your car to them. Jeff Gray BMW is $411, so I've asked Milland to quote me! Cheers

Hi everyone I've just bought an e90 which came with only one entry key. Where is the best place to buy another key for my wife and what would the likely cost be? Cheers dix

Hi guys e39 520i I have a couple of rear window regulators which have decided to take an early holiday. Is there any way to fix these things, because I see that they have sealed units? Otherwise, I guess a wrecker would be 'the go'? Cheers dix

Me do it...are you kidding? No, my mechanic will take that on! OEM or urethane......I have no idea, what do you suggest. Oh, and posting three threads gives you three different lots of answers, so I guess it's a good idea huh?

Well, I'm in Wellington but I assume that there're still postal services? So anywhere worldwide would do the job. As far as my local BMW dealer goes, here's an experience for you. I was recently quoted over $500 for an ABS wheel sensor, but purchased the same article via ebay for US$38!

Hi there I have an e39 which needs a set (8) of rear suspension bushes. Where would be the best place to get these, either locally or overseas? Cheers dix

Hi again Appears I don't need my newly purchased ABS wheel sensors now! No, I need to have my ABS unit rebuilt and so it's getting sent off to Tauranga. Is there anywhere else I could get another unit, possibly off a wrecked car, or is this 'rebuild' the best deal for me? Cheers all!!!

Would like only $100 for it. If you want it please contact me at dix@paradise.net.nz Cheers Dix

Hi guys Does anyone know a good place to go to get a good deal on e39 headlights? I wouldn't mind angel eyes, but they seem to be quite expensive. Cheers Dix
