Thanks,
I do have the repair manual for your car, let me know what do you need and I'll see what I can do for you.
Take car and happy ride!

Take 2 inch masking tape and tape off the front of the sunroof then drive the car if no change in noise tape of one side at a time till noise is gone that way you know where the problem is before you go in and they can't hit you up for extra labor time

I am also in Europe(germany) and am planning to buy exactly the 1995 model 730i. Would like to talk to you a little bit and get some feedback from your car experience with this model. Can you share some of your experience with this particular model and year?. appreciate this.
Thank you
1. The engine does not respond quickly enough in critical times such as crossing a busy street. It's flat. Same on standing start. Manually downshifting does not appear to improve the situation much if at all. Some have recommended replacement of the mass air meter (?).
2. The actual speed of the car is less than what appears on the speedometer by about 10%. If speedometer shows, say 60 mph, I'm actually traveling 54 mph. What is this doing to the odometer? Some say it is a factory offset to tire size and does not affect the odometer. They also say that this condition should reduce the number of speeding tickets I would otherwise receive!

Does anyone know where I can purchase a regulator without the motor? I noticed that online stores sell regulators without the motor for 540i but not for 740i. Any idea why?
Is this just a coincidence or did that cleaner do something BAD.

Are others having the same problems. I for one am tires of frequent visits to the dealer. Love to drive the car but I do not think this car is really worth all the trouble. I may be selling it soon even with the loss I will have to take
Thanks

Why did you install injector cleaner???

BMW NA Customer Relations
I am a little puzzled... my BMW 740i's central locking has stopped working. If it were for all things this might make more sense. However, the locks still work on the front two doors but not the rear doors or the boot. Also the back interior light has ceased working. Any ideas anyone, I would be very grateful.
Here is my current problem!!!!!!
Now the radio won't work. The CD player works great but when you switch on the radio it lights up and the ST shows but no sound. I disconnected the phone (can't get it working anyway according to Verizon) but it still will not play. Can someone tell me if the amplifier or some other component is bad........oh the check engine light is on yet again.
The original residual value on the lease appears to be the same as the 2002 car. That is, they have quoted me a residual value of $44,998. The fair market value on the 2004 that I am actually driving is more like $60,000.
Does anyone have any experience with what might happen if I try to buy the car at $44K and re-sell? I am negotiating a new lease for the 650 Convertible. It sure would be nice if I could pocket the difference and put it toward the new car???
Any input would be appreciated
The reason the residual is so low is that they set this up originally as a 2002 model then traded me out to a 2004 without changing the lease. I just can't see how I can lose on this???
Your insight would be valuable and thanks.

But it still seems worth doing if you don't mind tying up that much money. This isn't a great time of year to sell either, so....
Anyway, go recheck the numbers on Edmunds and let's see why we are coming up differently.
Now you know why it's so tough for a dealer to appraise a car and put a number on it.... Look at the differences in numbers!
Has anyone had any luck with BMW USA covering an "early" failure such as this out of warranty?
Also it's way overpriced for mileage and condition.
Buy a nice one for $10K-12K and be happier.
