Car Forum / BMW Cars / September 2006picked up my new BMW
Hi all Its a 94 525i touring auto Ok its not bad, my first ever auto and i hate it.....but getting used to it, damn site quicker than my 520i Im off around Europe in it in about 10 days and i am wondering if there is a way to switch the way the lights shine, so it points for when i drive on the other side. Never driven overseas from UK before but going around E Germany, Poland and Cz too Done about 360 miles so far in 3 days since collected it, found out the washers dont work...i cant hear any motor when i pull on the lever so it wipes and should squirt water, where would the pump be? i havent got a manual yet. here are a few pics of the car before i collected it http://www.julianhales.co.uk/red_bmw.htm Would you recomend i take the rad off my 520? i belive its the same engine a M50 and E34 so and it looks the same. thanks > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > way to switch the way the lights shine, so it points for when i drive on the > other side. I have never done it, but I have heard that you can apply tape to the headlight to mash off the upturn on the left that would be a problem when driving on the right-hand side of the road. http://travel.guardian.co.uk/askatraveller/story/0,,739242,00.html  Signature-Fred W > > Hi all > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > http://travel.guardian.co.uk/askatraveller/story/0,,739242,00.html thanks Fred! >>> Hi all >>> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > thanks Fred! You can't do that with projector headlights. On the E34 you can turn the rear part of the light after loosening three screws, it should be mentioned in the manual. Just looking at the rear of the headlight you should see what I mean. Very easy.

I didnt even know projectors where on a car :-p) Going to Poland, you will need lots of tape..... you may "loose" your wheels too specially BMW badge...for sure. Check your insurance cover for eastern countries. jerry >> > Hi all >> > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > thanks Fred! > Its a 94 525i touring auto > Ok its not bad, my first ever auto and i hate it.....but getting used to > it, damn site quicker than my 520i It's a pretty good auto with virtually no fuel consumption penalty on the open road - indeed it's quoted as better than the manual. You'll certainly get to like it in heavy town traffic. ;-) Signature*Why is the word abbreviation so long?

I read that too, i seem to be getting about 25...im struggling to get my foot right, so much harder than a manual. > You'll certainly get to like it in heavy town traffic. ;-) Well i use the passenger seat armrest and keep my hand on the stick. my left hand is pretty bored :-) |
