Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So right at the new year I acquired an E38 740i, 1998. I've done a lot to it already, mostly maintenance but might as well upgrade if you're replacing stuff anyway. But, I'm interested in some performance software, don't see any out there though. Admittedly I have not looked too hard but was expecting at least Conforti would have something. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not interested in Dinan stuff.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jack, I would check with Mark D'Sylva ( http://www.dsylva-tech.ca/ ) and see if he has any software upgrades or see if you have a local GIAC shop as well. Here in Sacramento we have Schatz & Krum who burn their own custom dyno-tuned chips. By the way, I need to chat with you some time about your company's involvement in SpecE30 for an article I'm writing.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm so excited to post again I'm gonna go crazy here! ; ) Ok, 1998 740i, build date of 12/97. Some time back the window controls on the driver side started intermittently working. It became less and less intermittant and more typical until finally they just don't work at all, none of the driver door controls...windows, memory seats, etc. Well, the power seat still works but nothing else. At the same time the key would not lock or unlock the driver side door. The alarm chirp would only engage once in a while. Also at the same time the instrument cluster has issues. The blinkers don't blink (they work on the outside, just no indicator on the cluster including clicketly clickety), the high beam indicator does not work...I think that's it. I was informed on another list that there are many electronic modules located in/around the driver seat and these problems are likely caused by one of these modules failing. I never could determine which on it might be though. Anyone have the "it happened to me and I replaced XXX and all was well" solution for me? I have the Bentley manual now but I've not ventured into it yet. I will use it first to replace the valley pan and other associated oil leaky bits in there. Thanks. Jack Money '98 740i...love it but I need to fix some things. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2007 22:08:41 -0500 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: Re: <E38> Electrical problem, driver side door plus accessories!
