Hi all
Have just bought a 1989 535i with supposedly 520000 kms on the clock.
It looks v tidy and drives very well, it's obviously had a lot of work done to it over time, most recently new shocks and bushes etc, brake rotors and head gasket.
Am awaiting the previous owner to send receipts and log of past work.

I have a few questions for starters - any advice much appreciated.

The odometer has stopped at 300000, previous owner has been using trip meter to log mileage. Is there any way to get the odometer to go again or is it common for them to just stop?

The red light on the fuel gauge flashes on with the gauge reading 1/4 tank, is it likely the gauge is faulty and reading higher levels than present?

When I lock the door either with the key or the fob (uniden) it locks then unlocks and I have to lock it again every time ditto unlock. Any ideas?


thanks in advance
Nigel.
