Also Griot's Garage and Eastwoods both sell some good stuff and have things for such restorations.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Brett, I have a couple of follow-up questions on the thrust rod bushings. (Assuming I still want our '93 525i after the head comes off for head gasket replacement and I find out if there is any other bad news...) Will E32 750i bushings fit the E34 525i thrust rods? If so, what are the differences between them vs the M5 bushings you recommended for Brewster's 535i? Different performance characteristics? Durability?

I've also added a Racing Dynamics Front Stressbar and aFe Magnum Force Cold Air Intake. I have never taken the car to a track. I know it needs new brakes, about 1500 miles left on the current set. I asked a local BMW dealer it would be a $1000 to have them replaced. The only other thing that needs fixing is the sun shade on the moon roof. It has been broken since the day I purchased it. From what I've heard/read this can be long process and thus can be expensive. I don't have the time to fix it myself, nor feel like paying someone else to do it. The moon roof still works. I'm still washing and waxing so I haven't taken any pictures yet. If you'd like to see pictures or have any other questions email me and I'll send you a URL when I do have pictures to share. I can be reached via email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or via phone 585-419-6276. I live outside Rochester, NY. Kelly Blue Book private party value lists the value between $14,755 - $17,450 depending on condition. I figure this car falls somewhere between Good and Fair condition, owing to brakes and sun shade. Though I'll consider any reasonable offer.

Comes and goes with no apparant pattern. Fault code is P1397 which I believe to be Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit (Bank 1). Is this an actual sensor failure that is easily replaced? Or, does this point to something else in the circuit. Anyone else have this problem?

Had one of those on my 01 325i (under warranty), then later the intake one (out-of-warranty), which I replaced myself. I believe it's in the same location on your M52TU as it is on my M54; at the left front corner of the head. IIRC the part is $75-100, and you need a 5mm allen wrench to do the job. >I'm getting an occassional check engine light on my 2000 528iA >(build date 7/99) with 62,000 miles.

Everything else is normal. After a while it speeds up. I'm not all that familiar with the automatic climate systems - is there still a blower resistor pack in there? Normally when they fail you lose the lower speeds, not the high speeds, and anyway this seems to be a more continuously-variable setup. I'm aware of the "capacitor" fix but the articles I've seen on that refer to that fix as a solution to a different problem. Any other ideas?
