First off I want to say Thanks for all the great Information that I've already learned on here from everyone!
Second: I'm a proud new owner of a 99 540I That is a beautiful example of a car.
However it does have it's little peccadilloes being a used car and all.
It's in need of a driver side head lamp- it will not adjust up and down it appears that the gearing stuff inside the assembly is broken. So my first question is ......is it cheaper to replace with the OEM Halogens or go for the 2000 and up AE Xenon’s? I do want Genuine BMW headlights not that crap on e-bay for $300 that look like neon tubes for the AE part.
Second Question--my outside temperature reading is stuck at -40 where is that sensor located and how much are they from BMW and is there any other source for them?
So that is about it for now As I start to modify this car for performance and reliability I'm sure that I'll be picking the brains of all you guys and gals!!
Thanks for the help
