New E38 750 Owner

in New Members Welcome

Featured Replies

Hello,

Bought myself an e38 750 a few months ago. Im from Dublin. First time owning a BMW. Always liked the e38 so it had to be the V12. I have come from many years of Subaru Impreza ownership. I also have a 1998 Impreza STi Type R that I use for track days only.

Hope to get some good information and help with the 750 as there doesn't seem to be many on the road in Ireland.

Couple of issues I need fixing,

PDC not working

Cruise Control not working

Drivers heated seat not working

Airbag light on (BMW diagnostics tells me drivers door)

Passenger headlight tilt not working (my headlights say Depo on them so Im thinking they are not OEM)

Windscreen rubber surround needs replacing (all cracked and bits missing)

Rubber strip at bottom of drivers door peeling off.

DME error code 0073 (no idea what this is)

Im hoping those are all not too expensive to fix.

Andy.

    OWwww you did indeed by a PROPER bmw as your first one ^_^ Legend. I loved my E38

    It being the V12 flagship, I would advise keeping up with the services at BMW or a BMW specialist and getting that list sorted by them at the same time
