Just popping in to say great looking car, 540-brother! I tried and failed to do my valve cover gaskets (and made a mess of the sealant in the process, it's still on my jeans a year later) and also have no ext temp sensor. I actually replaced it once, and a piece of retread tore it off that week. I decided the gods just didn't want me to have one.

Oh hey, this thread.

Since I also own a beater5, I may as well post here that Autoxpresstech (in MA) successfully repaired my ABS module for $80, which is the cheapest I've seen yet.

Keep note of what part number you send out, though. The Bosch 5.7 was used in a few different vehicles, and they sent me an Audi/VW unit back by mistake. They fixed it quickly though, and it was an honest mistake since they're identical, but the BMW harness won't connect to the Audi/VW module.

After some serious consideration, I decided to sell the 540i. I grossly overestimated how much free time I would have to work on it. Found a buyer, he is coming by tomorrow to pick it up.

So I will prob let this thread die off, and just post occasional boring honda updates in one of the "what did you do to your ride today" threads.

How much did you sell it for? Curious.

Thats the best one. Those wheels really make the car.

If I wasn't broke, that'd be mine right now.

Actually kinda tempted to sell my 540i and daily drive that, but that may not be a good idea.
