I picked this pdf up from bimmerforums and it's got some good detail and instructions on the front door lock actuator replacement.

Thanks, but I'm not separately cataloging this, only because you've appropriately highlighted it in an existing guidepost discussion, where it will be found and add value anyway.

Understood. I think I got confused with 2 threads concentrated on the same topic.

Glad I found this post. It's a one stop shop for what seems like every possible DIY. Thanks to the OP, Chowdah, for a 4 year post that's still going strong.

He used a third party site to upload the pics instead of just uploading them directly to the board. The only way to fix it is for him to re-upload the pics directly to the board if he still has them saved somewhere.

New M5 owner here. I've already spent hours and $$ on replacement parts, but I'll be saving so much from these DIYs!

Immensely helpful for these complicated cars, thank you to all that are dedicated to making our lives easier with these DIY's!

Why don't we have a DIY section?

 

[chowdah]

You need an inspired member or mod to start one in F10.

Can we add this thrust arm thread to the DIY please? It was very helpful last weekend.

Anyone know where I can buy/download the workshop manual for an 01 M5?

I found this useful post in an other forum but still think it is relevant as it is the right LCM and is still E39.

We also have nothing else on the LCM but to say send it out.

 

[chowdah]

Thanks. Added to DIY sticky.

this is probably my most favorite thread on this forum!

While I see several DYIs on rear main seal, has anyone done/documented the opposite - i.e. front main seal?

 

[ssclassa80]

Great thread, thanks

 

[Sailor24]

There was a request to get this info added to the DIY threads. It is important info and not in any of the DIY threads. Any comment will likely hit the bottom or be unread so maybe we can just add this thread to the vanos section?

I write these how to's as reply's and not as threads so don't think to add them to this thread. Since the OP of the thread I replied to called it DIY it made me think.
Anyway I would like to summit this, How to test TPS to your collection.
Direct link to the post.
