BMW E39 530i M-Sport Individual Aegean Blue Edition 2003

Dude, your memory is simply awesome la... :top:

Sneak preview of my next project

These are the result of a rather fruitful visit to Haki-Trade Subang on yesterday.

Acquired myself a rear electric blind and switch for the E39 after a few hours browsing through all the metals and junks in the yard.

The rear electric blind. Checked the part number and confirmed to be correct for my car. Made in May 2002 from the label.

Tested to be working fine using a battery

Lucky to find the switch and plug as well on one of the halfcuts

Rear electric blind RM250

Switch + plug RM30 (bloody cheap, was selling about USD40 in ebay without shipping from US)

I also bought a set of the front brake cover (metal plate behind the brake discs) for RM100 for both sides. Nearly bought new from UK. One of mine is badly corroded and the other has been removed due to metal rubbing sounds. These parts (3,4,5,6,7):

Met two other E39 owners looking at the same cars at the same time. One is bro Ismadi from Alor Setar who has a 523i, another bro Jaya (JKP) a forummer here. Had a nice chat with both of them. Funny because 3 guys were looking at the same two E39 halfcuts at the same time. It like 'who sees what first?'. hahahhaa

Bro Haywire, what about the rear board, does it comes together with the blinds?

Bro Haywire, what about the rear board, does it comes together with the blinds?

No it didnt. Need to cut out my existing one. Upon further research I need one more item to complete the original look:

Item No. 11:

51 16 8 184 157 Left parcel shelf cover

51 16 8 184 158 Right parcel shelf cover

Which is the plastic trim which goes to the parcel shelf opening at the end:

Nice upgrade bro :top: jealous nya aku switch uni ni...

 

[haywire]

Wehoooo no need to mod the rear parcel shelf, I've got a FREE parcel shelf with the cutout for the blind from an M5 owner in UK. Only paying postage to my friend's house in Preston, UK.

This is the parcel shelf (comes out from an M5)

So project will be on hold until I get the parcel shelf here. Probably next month. Blind will be parked on top of my cupboard collecting dust

 

[haywire]

Update: Postage was only £7.62, about RM40 for the parcel shelf. What a bargain! Sending him £8 though hahaha

You always the lucky man...

Guess you'll have to re-upholster the shelf. Your interior is in light grey, right bro?

Leather is Light Silvergrey, but its a Sport so the interior linings and roof including the rear shelf is black.

can i know where is the Haki-Trade in subang? i wanted to look for something as well

 

[haywire]

Just search on Google Map 'Hakitrade Subang' ans it'll show you straight to the shop. Straight in front of the junction of Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang Lama and Jalan Dinar U3/1.

Found a few other E39s there as well yesterday, I think there are about 4 E39 front halfcuts and 1 rear. Saw one rear halfcut of a red 8 series too.

You might also want to try MK Autoparts in front of Jusco Kepong. Apparently there's lots of E39s there, gonna check it out sometime this week if time permits.

Which one? Hakitrade or MK Autoparts?

I dont know what's up with my luck the last few days but I've just found a perfect switch panel which have everything that I need. Guess I dont need to slaughter my existing switch panel to fit in the uni-button switch.

PDC, Blind and DSC on the same switch panel:

Bought for 40 Euros, free shipping from German eBay. Part number 8 373 775 (does not show up on RealOEM or BMWFans though)

So now when everything gets here, I dont need to splice any wire, just feed the two wires from the rear electric blind to pin 14 and 15 of this switch panel and I'm done.

That is just a pure satisfaction, to be able to retrofit the rear blind with no alterations or harming the wiring in the car, and getting the original look in the car. I can sleep happily now (or maybe cant sleep until these items gets here!)
