Found this on another site. Hope it helps.
remove the rear view mirror - it just twists out of its mount - the receiver
should be attached to the inside of the roof above the windscreen just to the
right of where the rear view mirror mount is.
ps - a quick thought - check your actual mirror once you have
removed it - if a later larger style mirror has been fitted by the previous
owner the receiver is sitting inside the mirror mount. -
Very nice and congratulations. By the way, I'm always the same when I buy another car and I'm 52 and am on car number 50 something. That's a lot of sleepless nights.

Try a bottle of cataclean in the engine when your tank is about a third full. Take it for an Italian Tuneup on the way to the garage. Should see the emissions drop right down.

Try these Mintex Pads. Always found these to be good:

Sorry, but without knowing the code, I cant help. The garage should have made a note of the code before they cleared it. If you cant get hold of a code reader I would take it back to the garage.

Limo black is around 5% and is so dark you cant see where your reversing at night. Factory Tints are around 30% so if you can get a 15 to 20% tint, it should be about right for what you want.

Great job. The car looks fantastic. A true classic that anyone would be proud of.

Welcome Paul

I have owned around 50 cars over the years, a few of which were auto's. This is my 1st BMW and it is an Auto, and I am so pleased with it. It is far better than any of the previous auto's I've had and I feel it suits the car better. Also with the Semi Auto mode you can still enjoy a bit of a more involved driving if you want.
Not having driven a manual BMW does mean I haven't a true comparison to make however.

I love the step auto and although most of the cars I have owned have been manual, I would now be very reluctant to go back to a manual. If I want a bit more driver involvement I push it over to semi auto and change gear manually.

If its the Step Auto box like mine then you can always slide it across into semmi auto mode and change gear manually. I have had 4 auto cars previously against nearly 50 manual cars but I love the Auto Box on this thing.

You have day time running lights. Brighter than sidelights but not as powerful as your dipped or full beam.

Welcome to the club Rob. Glad your pleased with the motor. Im not aware of any common issues with the screen washers. There may be some gunk partially blocking the pipes or the motors are a little tired.

I would start with the cheapest fix first. Try changing the expansion tank cap. If its not holding the pressure, it wont circulate the coolant. Also the stat may be stuck open and may need replacing.
