I'm taking advantage of the good weather to swap out the drag (center) link and tie rod ends on my 750 (E38). Since you have to rotate the wheel to free the drag link from the pitman arm and steering...

I've had good luck with these guys:

Lorton is closer to Columbia than the Eastern Shore or North East.

Thanks all, found it, got it read. MAS was the culprit.

Thanks, I forgot about Autozone, next question is where is the OBDII on an E39?

Hey all, I just bought a 2000 540 sport and the SeS light just popped on. I have a Peak FX, but for some reason it won't read the car. Anyone in the area have an FX III I could use for 5 minutes? I...

Not to sound whiny, but where was this posted? It's not on the calendar, this is the first post that I've seen about it and it's a post announcing that registration is closed.

Guess it's time to take it to the dealer.:wallet:

Yes, I'm at 82k:frown:

No, the funny thing is the car was purchased by someone in North Carolina in late August and passed North Carolina emissions (through the OBDII) just fine. I bought the car earlier this month, and it...

I had a discussion with the State today and the answer seems to be that some computers take a long time to fully reset so the VA system will communicate with them. The answer they gave me was...

Looks like now it's OBD only:frown:

Anyone else have issues with emissions test station computers not communicating with your car via the OBDII connector? I, and my mechanic can read my E38 just fine but the emission station's computer...
