Re: Autobox Q

+1 on not relying on park to have the whole weight of the car resting on it. Handbrake is there so might as well use it

I take it everything is plugged back in as it should be, main ecu plug securely on and all the coil plugs on properly and all the earth straps on as well? Sounds simple but easiest things first!

Re: X5 Gearbox Oil question

Even though they are sealed for life there is a drain plug on the box and can be refilled. I did this on my supposedly filled for life box on my e38 728 with the zf box. As said before the oil is pricey but since I did it she runs lovely I'm glad I did it

Re: Funny looking front end on the new 3 series!

I think part of the reason for the front end of the 3 is for the pedestrian safety rules where you have to have a pop up bonnet hence the raised looking bonnet and at the same time they have tried to keep it looking sporty by giving it a low front. I must admit I like it all things considered

Hey guys, got a question for you? What autobox oil is in my box? I know that they are "sealed for life" but mine has shit itself somewhere and lost it all, but I don't know what's in it! The car is a 1996 vintage. Cheers

personalising my 7

Just bought my 728i and I want to put a few touches to it, nothing silly, all in keeping with its subtle nature but just to make it stand out a bit, but there really isn't a lot out there for e38's styling wise! Guess that's what happens when you buy an old man's car! [/img]
