Hey all just recently purchased a E34 BMW 525I, manual. I've always wanted one so picked one up. Plenty of little bits need fixing so thought I'd join up for some advice and help. I'm already searching the forms haha 

Thanks in advance.

Morning Adam

Welcome to the Forum

Very nice, if you aren't aware check www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts list put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model. Each section has small exploded drawings that will help with where stuff fits and how and obviously you will have the correct part numbers. Double click the part number and you will see any alternatives.

Don't ignore your BMW Dealer many give excellent discounts on Classic models and BMW UK have a growing Classic support section

      New Front Brake Discs Recommendations

      Hi all, time for me to change my front discs on the E64. Has anyone got any experience on discs manufacturer and things to avoid. I am just going for plain vented discs as per standard spec on the vehicle. Advice always welcome

      Transfer Case

      Morning Darren The obvious one is BMW ISTA/INPA not the cheapest but by far the most comprehensive and gives Dealer level access. Require a little patience to master but well worth it (my opinion) Then there are systems by Autologic, iCarsoft, Bimmerlink and Foxwell, all work well but are not as comprehensive as ISTA/INPA (mine has WIS and TIS). There are also a few systems which are Subscription led such as Carly Personally if I have tools I want to own them not rent them so I prefer to buy the complete package (on an old laptop that lives in my garage I have Diagnostics programs for Volvo, Merc, VW, and BMW. Plus an Autologic scanner and a BMW iCarsoft scanner (I am a born tinkerer and a boy needs toys) One diagnostic session at a Dealer will probably cost close to £200 plus any remedial work they can recommend?? So owning your own which will allow adaptions, registration and reprogramming work to be carried out will save £££ in the long run. Good Luck Dave

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      Just realized that I made a mistake. The last sentence should have been: " You would plug the trailer’s 7-pin into it, then the 7-pin coming out of the controller to X5."

      2024 X5 with Towing package using weight distribution hitch

      Besides, I could never understand why someone would sell you something but not set it up for you to use. BMW USA is not the most logical company to talk to, just like they would advise against using WDH but could not produce documentation to support it. Fortunately my dealer was helpful when I tried to figure out the break controller wiring. They even ordered a set of plugs for me although I eventually went with the Etrailer harness.
