Black (E53) Friday
Update - See post #16 - http://www.xoutpost.com/1060829-post16.html I'm fairly new to the BMW crowd, having finally picked up this past spring a pristine example of a model I've been hunting for, for over 10 years. A 2003 540i/6 M-Sport. Thanks for having me! Last edited by TECN1K; 12-07-2015 at 12:31 PM. |

Once you get to drive a bimmer, you gotta have one. The MSport look good.

I don't think it's a coincidence that so many E53 owners get here after owning an E38 or E39. Just seems like a natural progression I guess. The fact that OP has both his BMW's in manual shows that this guy's been hunting for quite some time. Welcome here OP.

Hi, Welcome. Please ask Ricky Bobby to add you to Manual registry:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ry-thread.html Also, please be advised that if your dealer does clutch as per "part of the deal" and does it just to put a check mark "Yes we did it" it may not do you much good. There is a lot to consider besides standard clutch kit (Clutch Disc/Basket/pressure bearing) Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qZskpXW9t4 The dual mass flywheel also goes bad, it really does, just as they say/show. I replaced mine when bought my X at 123K miles. and when that being done, replacement of rear crankshaft seal is highly recommended because it is right there, you looking at it when flywheel is out - just 5/6 bolts because if it leaks later/soon or worn/faulty flywheel becomes an issue... Hmmmm - that clutch disc is one time install, unless you have specific tool to unlock/un-spring it plus locking plate that being removed upon installation and dealer most likely will discard it rather than give it to you. Also there are few more things between engine and gearbox that make sense to replace and they not considered to be part of the "clutch", all rubber bushings, pins, washers within shifter are most likely in so-so shape given the age of the car and replacing them is so easy with gearbox out. Odds are that whatever they do, you'd have to open it back up soon enough to make improvements.

I don't know how far are you in to finalizing this deal, but I wish someone would advice me this before I bought my X (I would have still bought it but have more bargain power):
Order a BlueTooth adapter for Torque app, app itself is like $5 in app store for Android. You can throw that adapter in to OBD, pair it to your phone and scan errors and do basic check of the car.

Should work for both of your Bimmers, I think.

He could do it, or not - I'll stop by the car lot and mention it to the sales guys, since the mechanic ultimately is working for them, not me at this point. We'll see what they say and negotiate from there. They seem like honest guys, and after all it's business and they're not going to give things away for free. |
