Hahaa. Yeah it's a standard plate, and it's a 530i. Just lucky numbering I guess. 540 badge might be a step too far ?

Started experiencing a lumpy idle on start up, intermittent sluggishness when driving a few weeks ago along with some odd gearbox behavior. i scanned the car, got a p0369 crank shaft sensor intermittent code. After some googling and reading ordered a new sensor from Coombes (genuine is best) and it was off to Mosens for fitment along with a gear box flush. Got the car back today, feels like new. So smooth in both engine and gearbox departments. Brilliant!

In my case it looked like a knock off and was very faded and had nasty looking dirt ring around it. I prefer the no badge look for the car. And mine is an import. The badge is now stuck on my tool chest, lol.

did you use new OEM seals? the shot above second from bottom, is that the new seal going on or old coming out? I started at the top corners and worked my way down the side and then came acorss the top, worked a treat

purist schmurist lol an Homage to its bigger brother

Pika pika

I thought it was ok. I wanted genuine parts so was prepared for that. Front Windscreen Moulding $69.50incl GST Rear Windscreen Moulding - Upper $69.50incl GST em Rear Windscreen Moulding - Lower $49.80incl GST easy to install too

Fitted the rear window set, 2 pcs today with the kids out skating. 30 mins all up. Hardest bit was getting the old side pieces out after they broke away from the corners. Also, lots of underseal scum was flushed away.

I 2nd this lol

Picked up new front and rear window seals today from Coombes, plus new under tray hardware. To be fitted as time allows.

First thing i did one my Silver 530i M Sport, remove grille and boot M Badges. aahhh much better

If you just want a hard lined AUX. Dont get a grom, do what hqstu did with the business cd update and then you can also add bluetooth via that method if desired.

Yeah ive got one it's great now i have; - got a replacment unit from GROM to replace the one that squeeled alot with interferance thru the speakers... - upgraded to Samsung Galaxy 9, from 8. the audio is better quality from the phone and i can have the phone volume higher(as a line in over BT) meaning i have better control from the HU over volume and its the same levels as radio. only issues is i still can get mic or 3.5 mm jack inputs to work so havent installed them, but meh its installed behind the HVAC

Update; All fixed, Brake switch was loose and Kerry reafixed it and all systems go, or stop as the case may be

I've just ordered a pair of these myself, from eBay in europe. one of mine is smashed and the other doesn't line up and 80% of the hardware is missing so lots of rattles. New hardware and undertray "wings" on the way....

Not sure how to do this, and low on time to fluff around figuring it out, will take back to Mosens i think.

Replaced 2 brake lights and the warning on the dash is gone, but my brakelights won't go out !? - could this be switch failure?

Thanks mate. House sits above an acre of gully 12 mins from CBD in Hamilton. Peaceful and handy to everything.

You mean E46s in grounded Aussie. soon to be elsewhere no doubt.....

Ended up sending the pump to Car Computers, in Taupo. Kerry at Mosens did removal of old pump (noting some bone dry lines in the process) and install of reconned pump this week. great turn around from Car Computers and Mosens However, this didn't completely fix the issue as the booster diaphram was also playing up. This was also replaced today. brakes are now working as expected again, with ok feel in the pedal and great bite. No sinking pedal when sitting at the lights either. Finally able to make proper use of the new pads and rotors. EDIT - took the car fopr a strop out Peackcoks road on the way home from work last night. Brakes felt amazing, lots ofstopping power and really good responsevnes. Wore the bulbs out so got a brake lights warning on the dash with 2 new bulbs needed today lol

The pic above is the before ish. Actually didnt take a proper one. In the after pic we can see a much cleaner looking boot liner.

Cleaned the seats today in the E39 and the toyota. Also Cleaned the boot floor liner in the E39. Had a few stains from previous owners, most of them came out with a good squirt of amourall upholstery foam cleaner.

Ouch, hope rebuild sorts it once and for all! Sounds like the gearbox has done the rounds with rebuilds What symptoms did it have prior to dying, were they ongoing for a while or more orless immediate -ish?
