Im very worried about this issue as its not good for the engine as you can imagine. Ive tried filling up at different petrol stations but still no luck. Can it be the knock sensors maybe? Spark plugs look okay, but I will be replacing them next so that I can rule them out. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks]]>

Well tonight I decide to go for my usual weekend midnight McD's ice cream. When leaving had to pump the clutch to get it to work at all and the second I got out of the place pedal went to the floor.

What a freaky and very scary ride home trying to time myself with the damn traffic lights, drunk assholes cutting me off, not being able to stop and matching engine revs to get some gears. Finally made it home at least.

I hope this is the slave cyl as I've ordered one from the stealers.]]>

My ABS, ASC lights were on for many months.

Obviously, for many E39 owners, the 'control unit' comes to mind, if I am correct.

Anyway, I changed the two front tyres this morning and the lights went out!

I can't recall if it went out before the tyre change, but I am ecstatic!

I am very grateful and excited - I drove the car over 200km since the tyre change - braked hard and cornered on wet roads but the lights stayed off!

I played with the ASC switch and it worked!

Thank you to what ever solved the problem!

Any one experienced a similar problem, i.e. ABS, ASC lights remaining on?]]>

The wheels are in fairly good condition with a few minor scuff marks. The used tyres are around the legal minimum tread wear limit but still usable.

These wheels are immediately available, ie, not still fitted to a car and being used.

Would like to make the front bumper look a bit more agressive. Dont want to change it for the common Mtech 2.

What suggestions do you have?

wonder if anyone has had this issue before. I was driving for a while now and then all of a sudden, noticed that everytime i accelerate either from a stand still or just acelerate to go faster, i experience a slight delay (like no power) and then it kicks in. Have a 325Ci Auto. It does it across all gears, even if i put it in park now and rev it, theres a slight delay and then it kicks in. Any ideas?? thanks]]>

If anyone wants to try it please let me know if it worked and on which car.

Copy on lowest speed with a good brand CD or DVD.

If you copy onto DVD it works faster.

I need to know of a trusted gearbox and diff center in PTA where I can take my E30 to, to have it checked out. They must either be able to recon both, or I must get reconditioned units. Any ideas or someone that can hook me up ? I'm not sure if it will be more cost effective to recon the units or get already reconditioned units.

Opinions / advice ?

What do they replace / do to a reconditioned gearbox ? What do I still need to get ?

The same with the diff ?

Any help will help, guys. I need to sort out my box pronto !!!]]>
