    Hey all, Just wanted to see what the pro's and peers thought about my options. After going down the freeway in 5th gear, I started to notice a ticking slowly getting louder as I approached my exit. Pulled off the exit and bam, oil spewed out from a hole right where the oil pump gear nut goes. I...

    Car is 2001 525i Auto. Stock M54B25 Hello guys, I've been searching for BMW M54 water pumps and it is a bit tricky. Months ago, I replaced my WP, I believe it is Mahle/Behr, and it has Made in Germany logo on the propeller. It has composite propeller. It's a 4 y.o. WP so I guess I want to...

    Hi all, I know there are a lot of threads about the "Fault Code 048: TCC Excessive Slip", and I've done a lot of research on this. But hear me out... I have a 2003 BMW E39 530iA with the 5hp19 auto gearbox, bought at 88k miles. Straight after buying the car, probably around 91k miles I did a...

    My LCM 2 has started acting up, and the cold checks really ruin the possibility of putting LEDs into my car. I have a spare junkyard LCM 2 but I'd rather get a upgrade. From what I have read buying any used LCM III or IV from any car would work assuming I programmed it correctly. My question is...

    Hey fellas, I got a issue with my aux fan. The car was throwing up a DME activation, electric fan. Then I found out that the fan wasn't Evan plugged in. Plugged it back in and reset the code. No more DME code, but the fan still won't turn on. The fan doesn't do a test spin when the car turns...

    If i connect a smoke tester to the intake boot will that move smoke throughout the whole intake manifold or do i have to connect to other parts of the engine/Vacuum Lines? I'm wanting to make sure my intake manifold is not cracked.

    Hi all, I have a 2000 528i with the m52tu engine. My issue is that on cold starts after the secondary air pump shuts off, I get idle surging that drops down to low rpms and quickly pops back up. It does this for a minute or two then idles completely fine. I dont have any lights on the dash...

    I've got a whole slew of spare parts from swapping my M54B25 to a B30. The B25 parts are from a pre 9/02 M54 out of a 2002 525it wagon, and the B30 parts are from a 2004 M54 out of a 2004 330ci.

    The cooling pipe under my intake blew out. Car overheated and was running for a good 10 minutes before I shut it off. (Had it warming up in the morning) I let her cool down and tried starting the next day and she fire right up. Been about 2 weeks, went to start and now she won't fire. The...

    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 all, I’m back with what I expect to be a somewhat common electrical issue but haven’t found anywhere else online.

    Hello everyone, I'm planning to swap an M57D30TÜ engine with a 6-speed transmission from an E46 into my 2001 525d touring, but I'm having trouble finding information on this topic. Initially, I bought a high-mileage 530d (184hp) parts car for the swap. However, I later came across a crashed...

    I've been wanting to have halos on my car but I don't know what to do. I want the most cost-effective mod possible. I've seen stuff on retrofitting the facelift headlights to the pre-facelift ones but the OEM headlights are like 800 per headlight. I have also talked to some custom shops nearby...

    After 10 years of owning the very last e39 registered in the UK, I am planning on selling it. It is a 530i Champagne II Special Edition on an 04 plate with 144k on the clock. I have looked after it well and it is pretty mint. Not really sure how much to market it at really, so thought I’d get...
