    I know. Doru evidently worked hard to compile alot of excellent info!
    A partial copy of this list is already in the DIY section quick link list. I'm trying to figure out the best way to make the info more visible and accessible. Parking this in the main section might be the solution..

    Yeah, I just bought a set of Style 49's of eBay for around $700, one of those links has two sets of them for $500/set. Needless to say, I wish I saw these a day in advance.

    James ,thanks to you also for putting this where it can be found--Doru has gone to a lot of trouble and has helped many with this list. I have needed to look back for this
    when needing reference and couldn't remember just where to find it. Good call on
    making it available readily.

    Added this to the end of Doru's DIY list but thought it'd be good to point it out in a post.

    Wow! Doru, thank you so much. When I think of all the hours I've spent trolling thru so many forums (fora?), it's been like sifting for specks of gold among tons of rubble. You've brought all the gold into one place.

    There's a whole group of helpful E39 DIY videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd0...XbkR0ap6uzX7yA

    Maybe add to the list above?

    Could also add the YouTube channel "E39 Source" to that link too. Lots of E39 DIY videos a couple of other BMW'S too.

    Also could be worthwhile to add Frankie's Bmw:http://www.frankies-bmw.com/5series/diy_index.php

    But otherwise an excellent compilation online resources for E39 here. Thx Doru!
