This is gonna be a real nice car for someone else once you've fixed all the niggles!
The best bit about a bmw is the availability of parts and info on fixing stuff, makes life so much easier when doing ur own work.Next minor issue was the fuel flap/door. To open you’re supposed to push it and it pops out, mine didn’t. I had to use a little plastic pry tool to open it. A little bit of rubber/plastic had broke of the end of the plunger meaning it didn’t touch the door any longer. £7 on eBay later and a new one is in place and all sorted.

Was trying to find photos of my lights - I added white sidelight bulbs to the haloes - but PhotoBucket has left a lot of red Xs in place of images. Can’t believe it’s 16 years ago when I bought my 520d.I was out doing taxi for our eldest lad and found a really dark spot and had to take a pic. I need new headlight lenses I think and some white led bulbs for the halo’sView attachment 429608
Yea I’ve a set of white led’s ordered from Cyled for her. I’m hoping they’re handy to change! LolIf I remember right, the halo’s are just a 501 sidelight bulb. Handy and cheap to change!

New bulbs left, old bulbs right

Aside from a few gremlins, absolutely loving it! Massive car inside and out, very comfortable and so refined compared to anything I’ve had before.How are you finding it? Potentially thinking of a 530i when I get a few things sold.
Lights looking better there. Yeah she came with MV2s and I changed them for 172sYea I’ve a set of white led’s ordered from Cyled for her. I’m hoping they’re handy to change! Lol
Some difference!!
Lovely looking big wagon! Are those MV2’s on her?
I did hit the headlights with the buff today and they came up much better
