Driftit 2078 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Thought it would be a laugh to see what needs replacing on everyones BMW's. Just a list of things you would like to replace or maybe that you need to replace and plan to do so. Just realistic things that you could do in a few days if you had the time and money you needed right now. Should be a good read. I will leave out my race car as that needs around half a car at the moment. So here is what I need and want for my E39 540. Need Rear Right wheel bearing is noisy as heck. Heater control valve as the passenger side is stuck full hot. Drive shaft hanger bearing from all that towing. New cam cover gaskets New shocks New tyres Want Damage on Rear Right repaired Paint on Bonnet and boot done Front and rear bumpers painted Wheels repainted Tinted windows (getting on Thursday) Few of the door seals are getting a bit on in life But other than that she goes well. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
