Good Morning everyone, Just joined up this morning. I am the proud owner of a new to me, 540i 6 2000 black and tan machine I hope this is the right place for this... it has a 107k on and seems to run fine... just replaced the alternator but thats it so far... any tips or suggestions would be much apprciated thanks... Frank
Welcome aboard. That is a fine machine you have. If you don't have any previous records on any maintenance, than the first step to do is to change the manual trans fluid and the differential fluid. You might want to change certain coolant parts as well.
thanks, I know the rad was replaced, has an 07 date on it ,and the hoses all look pretty new as well. i would like to find a good shop in the atlanta area to have that done, prefeblay on the west side... Frank
You can go to Bimrs.org or just go by word of mouth. Maintaining a good relationship with a shop is great, especially if they allow to install customer supplied parts. That could save you a bundle of money, though it would go right to Exxon/Mobil/Sunoco, etc... .
