    Popped in some used OEM xenon headlights! I've been wanting these for awhile and picked them up for a good price. 
     
    They plugged right it and fired up.  No coding needed as of yet!

    DrLeadFoot reacted to DSMDane in DSMDane's DINAN e39 540i M-Sport   
    I have crossed over from the land of DSM's and have recently purchased a 'techinically' one owner DINAN e39 540i M-Sport.The car has the Dinan 5 upgrade kit that includes the Dinan Cold Air Intake, 82mm Throttle Body, Dinan Catback, Front strut brace, Short shifter, and a Dinan tune. It also has a new JB racing aluminum lightweight flywheel with an Luk clutch, along with Eibach sway bars and braided brake likes. Decided to buy this since on my last road trip with my GSX to Road America the ECU fried so about 300 miles away from home and a very expensive tow bill I figured I need something a little more reliable
    In the future I plan to replace the transmission since 1st and reverse are going out, polish the passenger headlight, and possibly a Dinan supercharger if the DSM would stop fucking breaking

    This in due time. Leather dash when the blower motor goes!  Lol
    I have some rattles in the roof and will be popping a new tailgate in probably after this winter so the headliner will be coming out.  The fabric is sagging a little here and there after getting it cleaned.
    Black suede, Son!!!

    The S62 is a very advanced beast and impressed that you have been able to get all these things figured out.

    Update! The wagon has been running great!  I've been chipping away at some minor coding things here and there.  
    Turned some wrenches last night at Mike's house and added the updated nitrogen charged oil accumulator. This one has a valve that locks in oil pressure when the car shuts down and on start up it immediately throws pressurized oil into the vanos units to stop the 12v Cummins Diesel sounds. 
    Had to run a signal wire to the DME (Pin 8 on the module 2 connector) and splice into a ground crimp. My DME was apparently one from a newer M5 with this option as I was getting a accumulator error code.  No coding necessary!  Thank goodness!!
    Did an oil/filter change (181000 on 540i cluster) after buttoning everything up and it was clattering for a second then ran quiet as a mouse!  I'm wondering if the old accumulator lost its pressure. 
    Replaced the cracked fuel pressure vaccum hose under the intake.  Noticed both my cyclone separator return lines are totally mush and cracking so I will be replacing those next week and doing a thermostat and possible water pump as a while I'm in there approach.
