Drive chain snapped??

Hi I am seeking some info/help with my 2008 BMW E70 3.0sd. Driving along last week and it suddenly cut out and came to a half, I have been told that the drive chain has gone (did start sounding like a tractor very quickly) so I do believe this is the problem? What are my options/costs with scrapping ...

Re: Speakers??

Raj, I didn't want to question your reply :( , but everywhere I read it only states you can fit 4" mids into E70 doors? Have you seen 5.25" done, its just I want everything ready before I start ripping the door cards off.

Thanks!

Re: Help on rear light failure

I know someone who works for a BMW main dealer and spoke to him about this problem and he said that he's never heard of a foam replacement, they just stick them on again using that butyl crap?!?

Has anyone brought these foam seals separately and where from please?

Re: Speakers??

Ok, cheers. Any 4" speakers I have found, no matter what brand, obviously have different screw hole locators so what happens there then? OEM BMW has three screw holes in a triangle pattern where as all aftermarket ones are normally 4 in each corner? Also Ive read that I probably won't have a centre ...

Re: Help on rear light failure

Yeah its a E70. No it is 1/4 inch full of water so yeah I think its a full replace job.

Cheers

Help on rear light failure

I know this has been mentioned before, but my rear inner light has filled up with moisture and has now failed! Do I have to replace the whole unit, or can you just replace bulbs then re-seal it??? Car not under warranty anymore!

Cheers.
