Before you get carried away have a look underneath the rear it may be that a previous owner changed the suspension to coil springs (not un-common) then turned off the warning. If you are still on the air suspension then it will likely be one of the ride height sensors, they are often put back incorrectly and cause the warning.

Belt tensioner's are likewise often not installed correctly and will allow a squeal under load changing them wont break the bank just needs sockets and skinless knuckles !!

Ask how I know

      e36 convertible roof top frame pivot

      Hey Richard, I'm having I guess the same problem you did. The fork has jumped track and is below the pin. Did using the drill run the frame on up so you could get the pin back in the fork? I've been manually opening my top for years, but this problem just happened. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks! Benny Brown

      Appears no fire

      Morning Larry Welcome to the Forum Sorry I can't hear the recording However your 539i runs with iBus so tracing faults with a BMW friendly diagnostic program (preferably INPA or BMW 1.4.0) so first step get a Diagnostic done. Checks to do first would be. Compression Check, Fuel Pressure at the injector rail. Fuel Pump relay, Vanos sensor and obviously is there a spark at the plugs. If you have compression fuel and spark it should at least try to start even if the Vanos timing is out Is the MAF plugged in and OK Good Luck Dave

      Appears no fire

      I have a 2002 BMW 530I. My wife was driving one night and a water hose busted it ran hot for a short time. The car was in worse condition than it appeared at the time of purchase. But she got water back in it plus oil. Well it still would crank. I got it towed to my house. My first thought was the head gasket, but the oil was clear. So I noticed the head cover gasket busted so I replaced. I also replaced the plugs and coil ok. I’ve checked the fuel filter and the intake gasket among other things inside and out. I’m stumped I’m hoping someone can help with ideas or the answer to it. Listen to the sound and see if something comes to mind.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13BYZ1qjO4VuNf7T0iou5AWnqJ70k0wxi
