Questions from a new 1995 525i owner
First of all, I think this site is a good resource for e34 owners.
As a new owner of a 70K 525i, I had several questions (see pic for reference).
#1 One weird thing that the car was doing was making a rattling sound when the car went over 50 MPH and it sounded like it was coming behind the dash. Turns out a local mechanic had the same problem and was able to point out that the circled yellow plastic needs to be reseated with double sided tape. Not sure if others had a similar problem and had a better solution.
#2, Is the plastic cover here missing on the 525i? It's the cover above the headlights on the passenger side. It looks kinda funny like something should be here.(Green lasso)
#3 The car makes a buzzing sound for several minutes after the car stops. It makes a clicking sound where the pink lasso is coming from (the heater core selenoid I think??) Any experience what this annoying buzzing sound might be from. It's not that loud but it's noticeable. The sound stays on when the car is on but obvious when the car is off.
#4 What's with the stereo, if I press the buttons after the car is off, it starts beeping like it's going to blow up.
#5 Also, any suggestions on where I can get a CD changer , 13 pin? I bought one from a yard and I guess they made different changers for the 530i vs the 525i from that year so it doesn't mount right.
I'd love hear some feedback.
Have a nice long weekend.
