    Do you have a 740i with gloss window trim?

    Re-badged the 740i Sport with the DINAN badge in the trunk. After further investigating the car, it has a DINAN, tune, M60 intake, DINAN exhaust and already have a DINAN CAI identified for install, even though the stock AI is just as good.

    Thanks, at first I didn't like them, as I was (and I am still fan of big deep dish wheels on BMW) but now I like them a lot especially as I wanted max width in the back, to get concave look.

    Too bad the E65 community on this forum is so dead...

    I replaced transmission solenoids a week ago and made huge improvement.

    Also been looking for a E38, but I don't know if I wanna change my E39 because the android player doesn't fit to E38 easily.

    E38 and E39 forums are very active, for example Land Rover forum I am in, is so dead, no one answers questions, nothing.. so E38 forum is the only one I am in.

    On the DINAN 7

    replaced cabin air filters
    replaced recirc air filters, even the driver side pita one
    new front brakes, Ate rotors with Bosch pads
    dropped oil pan to inspect engine after engine flush, no real debris or metal or plastic parts, refilled with Lubri-Moly 5w40 and their friction modifier, along with Lucas oil stabilizer. Ready to party.

    Planned to drop the trans oil pan and do a filter and fluid change but it hit 100F in the shade out here on its way to 108F so I called it quits. Next week.

    Went to drive with my son and wife, thought first to take E38, but took Land Rover, and gladly I decided that way.. the road we were driving would probably break front bumper atleast on 7er.

    For those who wanted more photos of the DINAN 7. Outwardly, its a standard 2001 740i Sport with Shadowline trim. Three previous owners, last owner had it for 9 years, I think he's the one who did the DINAN mod, the others owned it less than a few years each. Only a southern Cali car its whole life.

    The car is in fairly good condition, but as I dig deeper and look closer, its been run hard and put up wet quite often. There is evidence that either the valley pan or rear manifold failed with plenty of coolant salts staining the trans bellhousing, scrapes and dings on the driver side lower control arm, so it may have been run into a sidewalk at some time, and an occasional clunk from that side during hard turns or hard braking. The rear C panels are loose, rear speaker deck has blown subs, the rear passenger regulator is grinding, the blower fan is not operating at full power, meaning the regulator is burned up and the dash has to come off. I have no idea if the guides were done, but I do hear a bit of chain slap during start, so I'm guessing not, so got that to look forward to. The fan clutch is worn too. The oil had plenty of sludge and I had to do a flush to clean out the motor. I'm sure I'll find some more things as I go along.

    But WOW, what fun to drive!











    e39 (2002 540i Sport) is my son's, e34 (1995 525i with 246k miles) my daughter's and is my original BMW, purchased at the BMW Military Car Sales in Frankfurt in late 1994 new, the old silver 740iL is awaiting an engine swap, and the new 3 series is a loaner since the wife's X5 is at the dealer for the airbag recall. Missing is my other daughter's e46 (2001 325Ci vert), it lives near the beach with her.
