Hi Guys

Anybody have any info on where I can get a reservoir (coolant/antifreeze) for a 2002 E39 530d?

Mine is leaking :argh:

 

[ChefDJ]

Not a single LED came with this car. No xenons either. That had to change:




























Door lights all LED's, interior lights all LED's (except reading lights and mirror lights... how many more bulbs does this car have???), boot lights both LED's, angel halo's LED's, and low-beams converted to xenons. Also... Needed a new badge

Subtle and classy. BMW started a lighting trend when the first released the angels on the LCI E39, still think they suit it best.

It's the detail that kills a car & thus the same detail can make it epic!!

Nice job man

Why haven't you converted the reading lights and vanity lights to LED's too? Hope you didn't miss the cubby, boot and engine lights. Makes a nice difference.

Car looks great!

Boot is done. Reading, vanity and cubby will be done at some stage. Just not right now lol. Too many of them. Angel halo's have been done, and low-beams are now xenons. Still need to do high-beams and fogs (also a bit pricey)

Getting there :inlove:

Thanks guys. Still a few more adjustments and mods to do, but won't go overboard. It's a good looking car as it is, and want to keep it as original as possible

You mean the actual coolant expansion tank / water bottle is leaking ? If that's the case your best bet is to get one from BMW :thumbs:

 

[ChefDJ]

There where you actually fill the antifreeze into... BMW wants almost 2 grand for the thing.....

Aggg #$@%&! BMW is BMW I suppose... Comes with its price :yuck:

Have you tried bemows in PTA west?

Picked mine up there last year for about 600 bucks!!

That's the going rate :thumbdo:, don't mess around when it comes to the cooling system, last thing you want is for the car to overheat
