    Hey ive got a weird one, I was looking online and found out there's a very rare option for the E38 for ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and was wondering purely for fun if it would be possible to retro fit it into a e39 specially the facelift model. As far as I know it uses a special sensor placed...

    EDIT: For those of you who have used NCS Expert / NCS Dummy / Standard Tools, is it possible to both remove the "Check Rear Light" dash error message and fix the hyperflashing? I know on Bimmercode there is an "LED Upgrade" code category which is exactly what I need, but Bimmercode is only...

    Hey everyone, First time posting and hoping for some assistance here. My best friend and brother who frequented here and had sold his 1998 E39 540i in Hellrot Red. He passed away yesterday and I am curious if anyone on here knows where it's at. I am unable to secure the VIN, but it is...

    I am looking at a $29K 2018 BMW 540i sedan with 58K miles on the clock. I am coming out of a Honda Accord 4-door sedan with the 2.4L 4-cylinder and close ration 6-speed manual transmission. It was totaled and I have no hope of getting a similar car to replace it at anywhere close to what the...
  5. 5 Series DIY
    So I just finished replacing the timing chain guides on my E39 540i, and there is a ticking or tapping sound from the driver side valve cover. I cant seem to think of anything, it could be other than the hydraulic lifters maybe? The injectors might be making a noise too but i cant tell. There is...
  6. Parting Out
    I'm selling because I am moving. Else I'd keep and fix it. (4.4l v8 200k+)Wrecked back left quarter. Needs head gaskets. Very little frame damage on affected area. There are other smaller things that she needs but OVERALL I WOULD SAY THIS COULD BE A AWESOME RESTORATION PROJECT OR PARTS.I love...
  7. Parting Out
    I'm looking for a passenger side inlet camshaft for the M62TU engine in my 2000 BMW 540i. I've noticed some pitting on a cam lobe that is beyond what is considered acceptable to run. Price is negotiable. sellers willing to ship within Canada preferred.

    I hate spamming forums so I apologize. I'm searching for anyone in the whole of the U.S that's got a 540i parts car? I've been looking for a rear left trailing arm and hub for about a month now and was wondering if anyone had anything?

    I have a 2019 540 MSport and abiut to reach 53k Miles of maintenance. Dealers are extremely expensive these days. What does it consists of and the cost? Please help since I’ve been dissatisfied with dealerships lately.

    I've got an 01, 540i, and I've redone the sound system with different speakers and two 10" subs in the trunk. I feel like my battery isn't that old and I replaced the alternator acouple months ago but now I'm having lighting issues, engine codes, and the sound from my headuint is getting...
  12. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    I have leak and I'm checking under my 02 BMW 540i and found this part with a green liquid all over it and dripping. While I know that I have to find the source of the leak, I'm more worried about this part being left all exposed under the car without any covering or shield. Is it supposed to be...
  13. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hey Does anyone know how to reset the ram back up? I tried it in INPA, but I can only delete the adaptations. I can't find the point for the RAM backup. Many thanks and best regards
  14. Australia
    Hi! Hoping to engage some discussion about the 528i I have and the 540i I am looking to buy tomorrow. The 528i apparently was one of 27 imported into Australia in 99. There are some differences in styling slightly BUT the 540i is a local model (if making sense). Today the lovely gentleman drove...
  15. General BMW Questions
    I’m looking for a dealership in SoCal for my 2018 540i. I only have 36,000 miles and having issues with misfires and white smoke out of the exhaust. I currently have a catless downpipe on and want to be sure I take it to a dealer that isn’t going to make an issue for warranty work. Thank you in...

    I took my beloved 97 540i to a BMW specialist garage who sold me the above plugs (the full part number is FGR7DQP+6743) that I have now fitted. Engine seemed to like them today but I see on the Bosch website they aren't compatible supposedly. Should I be concerned? Cheers

    As the title says. Just replaced the drivers door lock actuator today on my 2001 540i/6 because every time I unlocked the car, all the windows were going down. Now, after I replaced it, it is behaving strange. I CAN unlock the drivers door, all the other doors, as well as roll the windows...

    TL;DR at the end, I've been restoring my 2000 540i for a couple years now, a very slow process. The last major work I did was the timing chain guide rails, during which I was supposed to remove all sprockets from all four camshafts. I removed three easily but the bank 2 exhaust cam bolt is very...

    Hey guys, I always look on this forum for advice and help with things I decided to join. I have a 2019 540i I believe it’s a G30. I’m looking for a good weight to use. I’ve been looking online and about half says 5w30 and the other says 0w20 I live in Atlanta so the temps vary quite a bit (30 -...
  20. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    So my transmission has been overheating for a few months now but for a while I was thinking I just needed a rebuild and was putting it off, until recently when I realized that the harsh 3-2 and 2-1 downshifts were happening after an extended drive. I used INPA to check the analogue data in the...
