sidrick Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Isn't the rear loading space generally bigger on a FWD car which doesn't have to accomodate a rear diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaweV6 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I like that. £2k seams reasonable, maybe just until you'll plug it in. Service history ? And tell me - how many rhinos had to loose their foreskin for your seats ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 that looks alright, shame its an auto but i suppose that only makes it more comfortable. as some of the others have said a lumpy idle is a bit worrying as of course being a diesel it cant have dodgy plugs, bad leads or a failing coilpack. ur right it could be a blocked filter but i would point more towards a fuel pump in a diesel tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevmo3691 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 wow, 2 pages already? well having looked up what causes the lumpy idle on 530d is worse case an injectors needs a recon at around £100 at a specialist. However other causes can just bedodgy wiring to injector 5. I have just filled up after doing 300 miles in it already as had about half tank when I bought it. Filled up on BP ultimax diesel as this was advised and it seems to be idling smoother already. previous owner hardly drove the thing - 5000 miles in 15months. Not doing anyting really. just panel filter and a remap and cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Oh God. I'm going to have to sell my E39 now, or at least thermite it on youtube to redeem myself. p.s. watch that gearbox!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevmo3691 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I already know to watch the gearbox thanks to BMW deciding they are maintenance free for life which then turns out to be around 140K I filled up with BP ultimax diesel to see if that helps as that has been advised on forums with regard to the issue I'm having I'm also going to add a parrot bluetooth as I intend to retain original BMW radio to keep trip computer working.
