IS that the hedgehog resistor packed in? Otherwise known as the FSR? Never happened to my E39 but it was a common problem on E39s. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Sorry, FSU, I had, had a couple of beers by that time on Friday night when I wrote that. Not sure about a source, try google as it was a common failure....sorry not much use. Try looking at Shoguns posts in the How do do bit, I'm sure he found a link to how to do a diy fix. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Reffiting is reversal or removal except swear in different places. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series! Current '13 62 F10 535i MSport Auto Previous '04 04 E60 545i SE Auto '03 53 E60 545i SE Auto (Stolen) '98 S E39 523i SE Auto |
