Hello there,

To any of you guys who have switched to the later style mirrors, I'm looking for the reinforcement plate used to mount the manual mirrors on a 77 530.. They're NLA.. Only need one for the passenger side.
Thank you.

Regards,
Philip.

1- Balance marks? Did not know BMW marked their drive shafts.. I so happen to have a spare M535i drive shaft that needs U joints.. If you give me an idea what they look like I can have a look..

Yet another issue... :x recently took my car to a local BMW specialist to install a new guibo and center bearing, all OEM and very expensive from BMW.. The car has a 5 speed, with an automatic transmission drive shaft. Before going to the shop, despite the appearance (cracks) the car had no vibratio...

There is a black wire supplying power to the compressor with a split... somewhere in there there is an diode. How is this connected? Also, I'm told ...

Full of questions here, 77 530 with 5 speed transmission. Should there be spacers between the guibo and drive-shaft as in the M535?, or do I need to source out a different drive-shaft? Also, the transmission is being held with one mount only and the cross-member is not perpendicular to the transmiss...

Does anyone have a good starting point to st up the throttle body idle screw and mass air flow sensor? Thank you.

Hello,

What is the best adhesive to use to reset all windows in their respective brackets? Is there an upgrade available to hold the windows in place?

Thanks for the help..

Does anyone know if the original style front door brake (41511814523) is still available? Thank you.

I was hoping to find the post regarding blue carpet availability.. At one point there was a part number available for later cars.. My first question, is this still available and can it be worked into a 77 model year? the second, anyone has the number handy? Thanks for the help.
