Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Got annoyed with check brake light warning. All.bulbs fine and sockets clean. Out of boredom.replaced.every single bulb in the rear lights with new ones. Then occured to pull out the high stop light. Low and behold a melted socket replaced that and all is fixed. Also fitted the new heater control panel i got off juggernaught. Turns out e39 fl and pfl have different panels. They plug in but dont work. Didnt matter as my one just needed new buttons. Swapped over face plate and i can now control temp again. Yay. If anyone wants a fl heater control unit to fix theirs if screen has gone let me know. I have no use for it now.

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Fitted the lift kit to the M-Technic suspension equipped E39... 10mm spacers on top of every strut mount with longer studs - raised it up about 20mm Tempted to do this on mine. Eibach springs are just a tad too low, getting peeved with scraping the standard bumper all the time where did you source the spacers from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No name user 379 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Looks interesting, can you elaborate? most use the m3 type housing to do a cooler setup i made a bypass system inside the stock unit and custom fittings nothing special just something to do on a rainy day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fronts are alloy - I made them from 10mm aluminium sheet. Rears are plastic - much easier. You can buy plastic sheet like nylon or polypropylene or silimar WAY easier than the alloy.

KwS 2425 Report post Posted March 15, 2014 Getting the same thing on my old 36. Never occurred to me to check out the high stop! Thanks for the idea! Same issue i had on my E36. For me it was the buggered wiring in the boot hinge. Also coincided with the boot lock not triggering the central locking. The second time i had the issue, it was a stuffed brake light switch (and then the cheap replacement i fitted. Only a genuine switch fixed it). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MISS BM 712 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 Took my 540i from her resting place for the last 2 weeks and gave her a bit of a run.. Went well, then progressed to spend 4 hours removing tree sap from the 'cyclone' with a polish and wax after.. Looking like she is meant to again.

MISS BM 712 Report post Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Forgive my ignorance, you have this as well as the 7er?I wish - in a perfect world! No, sold the 728i to get this.. Missed the M62 from the old 740iL, but needed something smaller and with a bit more.. Uh, potential to play I should say... Edit: Have been using work vehicle, hence her absence on the road..

Even the standard 323i had a tendency to fly off the road when pushed, let alone with all those extra horses trying to get out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted March 21, 2014 I guess there are lots of things you can do with shocks / springs sub-frames, etc. but I thought the E21 chassis is the limiting factor? Although knowing you and Ray there will be a few plans in mind already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
