Look up YouTube on DIY headlights, maybe it may work for your case

Sounds like the start/stop feature toggled too many times and may have conked out the starter. I switch off my auto start/stop at every drive

Something similar happened to my ride previously. Sounded like an aircraft whirring noise in underground carpark and yes, after the engine has heated up. For me it was the thermostat or something like that. It failed to detect the correct temp and thus turn the fan on at very high speed...

The E60 was one of the 2 vehicles that I have drove for more than 2 years and still enjoy the ride. All the others are like after 1-2 years, you dont find thrill in the ride. I missed it even still... oh well. Yes, finance is definitely a major factor in the ride beyond the end of COE (for my...

Hi, very much understand your predicament as I went through almost the exact scenario. Most of the parts you mentioned I have already changed in the past year so not too worried about them. I had ran 215K on the ride and it was time for the mechatronics and physical gears to be replaced, if the...

this is definitely a going-to-failure symptom of the tranny unit. When it got really bad on my ride, I was able to replicate the symptom on cold starts. When cold start, engaged to D, drive off about 10 sec, stop to ensure that the gear auto switch back to 1. The moment i let go of the brake...

Hi, Basically it was through lots of browsing on the web and forums whereas lots of similar symptoms with the E60 worldwide and majority of them were 'solved' by either changing the whole MU or just solenoids. Mind you, its only in Singapore where cars on average do not 'last' more than 10...

PMed you

Sponsors are not necessarily expensive, but they sure know the stuff about beemers. No harm just call to check and ask for quote before going down. Just tell them straight you bringing the spare part for thermostat for fan, how much is the labour? If they do not entertain " you must come down...

Nah, I don't think so. Anyway, I handing over the car this Friday morning

could it be the solenoids controlling the 4th and 5th gear faulty? just guessing.

Thanks dude. 1st week of Nov will be handing/taking over. Fortunately/unfortunately, no longer can afford the 5 or beemer for that matter. Got the passat 1.8 instead. :( Usually busy on weekends due to kiddos classes thus I'll pass. Thx for invite tho

Hi Changing ride soon and thus have 2 items to let go at lelong price AC/Filter (1 set of 2 pc) - $20 (SOLD) Brand new unused. Originally planned to change it for the last year of COE, but hand itchy on Deepavali, sign on dotted line, so no use now. Bought at $50 for 1 set Non 3M-type car...

I also have that noise especially when idling. I discovered that it the engine cover that is not secured down. ( the cover is the one with the word "BMW" on it and is obstructed by the engine oil cap). I cannot find any catch or whatever that holds it down firmly. Maybe my workshop broke...
