Don't most of these rear panels have rust problems whether previous repairs or not? I know my Dad's is in a state.
Generally E39's only tend to suffer from rust on the boot (usually down the failin ... |

Yes the rear panel is double skinned, a fact my brother has just found out when minor damage to it wrote off his E39. 
I know how you feel, I'd want to get it sorted too.  Don't think it'll ... |

Sounds like a wheel bearing
Could be, but IME they are more of a whine or 'scraping' sound for want of a better description.
My money would be on a stone being caught in the metal shield inboar ... |

Not too sure about the wheel size but was thinking about changing the rear wheels to the same size as the front.
The car has been set up like this and any change will affect the geometry and handli ... |

^^^^ What they said.
I like you, was optimistic that it might be adequate to cater for the times you want to relax in heavy traffic and times you want to go a for a proper drive.
It isn't, so mu ... |

On my brother's old 540 it was the fuel sender unit beneath the rear seats. This was quite easy to change. It's usually that one, which fails.
Yes, that's the one. I'm still not sure whether to r ... |

Awesome job, that's as fiddly as hell! 
It's a bit pathetic, but out of all the kit on my E39, it's the electric rear blind that still puts a smile on my face, just makes the car feel a bit spe ... |

Easy way - disconnect the battery
Not unless you mean the one in the cluster (which is a royal PITA). Disconnecting the main battery won't reset the service indicator on an E39 (or any BMW ... |

I've previously hidden them under the parcel shelf and also behind the headunit itself, as it can get a signal through the plastic dash.
I was scuppered in my current car with the Climate Comfort W ... |

Right, well, car now displaying empty fuel guage, bonging and 0 miles range left but car is still continuing without issue. Clearly erroneous readings.
The Test Mode function of the cluster, specif ... |

Just noticed this thread. Sounds VERY interesting.
I need it to work with DSP as well though and I can't see any mention of that.
So although they offer to sell it on the website, they don't ac ... |

| Just went to fill the car up as it was showing a quarter of a tank left. I brimmed the tank at the petrol station and paid. I got back in the car and the fuel gauge hasn't moved, and is still showing ... |

Don't, it's a royal PITA, trust me.
I've spent the best part of £400 getting mine to work, and my car had it equipped to begin with!  |

I don't have any experience with the SLS set-up, but having trawled through several forums and write-ups the general consensus seems to be:
Check the fuses
Check the electrical connections to EHC ... |

I suspect it's simply that there are plenty of E39 models around but no V12 engined cars. It's probably one of those "let's see if we can do it" things.
I suspect you're right, and an adm ... |

It's a push to break, they're fine with it disconnected.
Ta, useful to know.
if that doesn't work, disconnect the siren.
That's a bit of a cnut as it's in one of the rear wheel arches, insi ... |

Thanks Defector, disconnected it, see what happens, or doesnt happen.
That may make it worse. I'm not sure whether it is a 'push-to-make' or 'push-to-break' type of switch. |

Hats off to them, but TBH I don't see the point. The V12 is heavy and you could get hold of a M62B48 out of a B6 which would produce more bhp and be 'easier' to swap.
I'd love to do this (M62B48) i ... |

Just recently the occurance of my alarm going off randomly is increasing.
I have tried setting the alarm and pressing the button again to turn off the interior sensors but it stills goes off and it ... |
