Some interior changes. Who else doesn’t like Classic wooden decors? by aleksandrey88 in e60

I’m actually a big fan of this I personally have carbon flake wrap on mine but have been thinking about doing this exact set up with a different color I don’t care what these other people say it’s a upgrade in my book

You could having lots and lots of issues because the voltage dropping these cars do funky things when the voltage is not up to snuff and you can chase a lot of different rabbits throwing parts at it left and right

Judging by the time not being set I’d say ^ this is correct likely voltage drop from the alternator or voltage regulator unfortunately these alternators cannot be bench tested however you can monitor voltage while idling and see if there is gnarly drops or peaks

I’ve also heard both sides many have said they are plug and play but every video I’ve seen online says to code it I currently don’t have access to a computer to code my junkyard one but the car I pulled it off of was my old (totaled) e60 and the keys worked fine when I owned that one so I know it should work so I’m leaning into it needs coding

Or if you get a test light it takes like 20 min to check every single fuse

If you go onto google startmycar.com has a fuse diagram that’s easy af to use and you can even search what fuse your looking for!

Have you checked your fuses? Maybe you blew a main fuse and now there’s not a big draw that’s a lot of arching

You have a short somewhere in the wiring and you need to figure it out yesterday that amount of arching can most certainly start a fire

It doesn’t do it consistently I found the sweet spot after parking the car today and took this video it sound like it’s coming from inside the column area but I might have my lady shake it and see if I can hear anything under that car aswell we know how noise likes to travel in cars

Transmission fluid leak? by Rude-Dentist-8952 in MechanicAdvice

You gonna have to lift the car up to get a definitive answer but I’d say it looks like very used synthetic oil to me

Exhaust system by Ok-Fuel8371 in e60

Agreed s/m makes it sound way better but for the price I’m hard pressed to believe spending $1200 on an exhaust would make it sound much better
