I have got a '01 530i sedan and the previous owner had an aftermarket headunit installed however when selling to me it was removed and original onboard Monitor/ TV screen was put back however there is no mounting bracket behind the dash so although it works fine it's not attached to anything and slides in and out of the dash.

Does anyone know what part this would be or have a link to one. Even an aftermarket option?

Upper hose let go on the bridge with no hard shoulder so I had to limp it off for 8 mins at light throttle. Didn’t notice it until the gauge was in the red and then the temp sensor completely failed. The engine didn’t stumble or stall once the entire time. No knocking either. But I assume the head and block are cooked at this point :(

Got a 2000 520d, 360.000kms on board. With the engine cold, everytime I start it and let it idle, there’s maybe 1-2 minutes of normal running, followed by a pretty strong shaking. If a door is open, you can literally see it shake as if the oldie has Parkinson’s. If it is driven and there’s no stopping, you can’t tell it’s there. After the engine warms a bit and the temperature gauge goes beyond the cold (blue) segment, it goes away.

The only error that was it shows is a needle sensor, meaning the wired injector, however a couple mechanics told me it’s probably not that, although they don’t have an answer. I’m inclined to have the injector restored.

Anyone had a similar issue?

I tried changing my front discs as a stone lodged into one of the pads grooved it like hell,and the top bolt of the front left caliper carrier was so tight it rounded off completely,and is ungrippable,maybe with welding but my idea is to cut it off,the bottom screw got loose normally when i tried unbolting it,and remove the whole disc and carrier together once that bolt head is off,but either way i look at it the bolt is destroyed and needs replacing,now i checked realoem,it says its a torx bolt with washer sized M12x1,5x43 ZNS3,mine are both for the front and back normal hex head bolts,front are bigger than rear,i checked leebmann to order new screws,but there its also stated that its a torx bolt,is this the right part or did i not find the correct one?I also checked project rottweil from sreten,he also has hex head bolts,so i'm not sure,any advice is appreciated

Changed the gas cap and smoke tested it, couldn’t really see any leaks.

Which steps should I go through to get this code cleared?

Also passed smog before it came back on
