BMW 525 Diesel manual gear clutch maintenance and modification bulletins urgently required to settle a debt of honour, not to mention money.
Give my eye teeth to see these and a reward. Anyone got them plse? There were 5 up to 2002 and I would like to see the lot to date. Would answer some pretty puzzling features I have on my 1998 BMW Tourer diesel manual gear box and clutch. Like the car can burn clutches out when reversing up a steep incline for say 30 ft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BMW have their eyes glazed over re me and say its the way I drive em. Which is the biggest load of shino any kraut manufacturer ever handed out to an Englander. In arguing with a German car dealership the truth can be the first casualty because for sheer bloody arrogance if nothing else you cannot match a Teutonic "stealership".
Also any suggestions for any other useful newsgroups I could approach re his would be much appreciated including more diplomatically a German one. The model number used for this 525 manual diesel tourer at that date in the US would also help as info is much easier to get in the US.That is if they ever imported diesel cars into US.
Love the car hate the clutch and its impotent droopy manual brake.
