[QUOTE="roland1888, post: 142243, member: 1095"] Nice car, dude! BTW, I have just gotten hold of my E39 today!!! :yahoo: Same year as yours but it's a 523. Heck, we even have the same color (although mine is abit darker shade of blue)... Too bad, wish we could have the same hp and torque.... :D Well, i can't answer all your questions but I will try.... 1. No idea... 2. Well, I do have a OEM cd changer from my ex E46 328. Took it out when I sold the car becoz that car already has an aftermarket headunit. Anyway, you got to check whether it works for an E39. To me, it shouldn't be a problem lah... Oh yeah, one more thing. The changer is in mint conditon, but only one problem, no magazine. Yup, NO MAGAZINE, all thanks to my "friendly" neighborhood superhero who decided to smash my car window on one particular nite and decided to take just the magazine and some loose change, together with a few of my favourite cds... :cry: 3. All depends on you, bro. Some poeple actually recommend every 5k but for me, it is 10k. 4. I too am praying for the steering wheel that you are talking about but do you know that you have to change the air-bags as well? The sterring wheel is cheap (can find loads of them on e-bay) but the air bag will kill you. Makes you think twice from changing them in the first place... 5. No chance yet...
