Re: Possible electrical issues with the e53 4.6is
Thanks henrym3, I'll give it a go.
The error codes for front and rear passenger side abs sensors are back, although both sensors have been changed.

Re: Possible electrical issues with the e53 4.6is

Fitted the new one with fingers crossed, unfortunately the dash still doesn't work (apart from the abs light) and neither does the stereo. henrym3 when you say doesn't it fall asleep, is that once the ignition is switched off? ...

Re: Possible electrical issues with the e53 4.6is
Thanks guys, unfortunately I can't use the hidden menus as the cluster isn't working.
I've used a multimeter and the battery is ready 11.6v. When I started it up this dropped to 9.6v, and then gradually up to 13v. Does this seem right?
The battery was brand new in Dec '18.
Thanks again guys.

Headlights strobing..
Hi guys,
Just noticed that when I turn the key one click in my 2003 E53 the headlights strobe from left to right until I start the engine.
Any ideas?

Retailer or eBay seller recommendation needed
Evening all,
I'm after a a black grille for my pre facelift E53. As BMW don't do one for the pre facelift, I was hoping that on the forum might be able to point me in the direction of a retailer or eBay seller that sell a decent aftermarket version.
Thanks in advance.
