E38 740iL parts

Lost Cosmonaut · 03-19-2007, 03:54 PM

I recently inherited a 1995 740iL E38 in Alpinweiß from my grandfather and was wondering where to get some parts.

Specifically it really needs a new gauge cluster. It's gone through 2 already, they keep getting blanked out "dots" on the ODO, computer, temp gauge, etc. The original did it, then we got a replacement and now it's doing it too so I want to get a new one. Any ideas on where to get one? I really don't want to get a used one.

Also, any ideas on where to get suspension parts? I think it needs some new shocks but if I'm going to do that I might as well upgrade to some nicer aftermarket parts.

What are some good sites?

Guess no one knows?

Is there any dealers on the forum I can contact?

Check with BMW NA. I'm pretty sure they'll "assist" with the costs of replacement. We had these issues all the time on the X5 board, and it's the same cluster.
