[QUOTE="Tom328, post: 717734, member: 16210"] Based on your to do list, you'll have to get the new key+chip and car battery first. Once you've done that, then only can you re-code transponder (check out [URL="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/newforums/index.php?/topic/37290-e39-immobiliser/"]http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/newforums/index.php?/topic/37290-e39-immobiliser/[/URL] where we discussed the procedure) Is there a spare key? After doing so, you can try cranking the car and replace all the fluids etc. BUT, since you've left it for 2 years and I presume it hasn't moved or started in that period of time, you might wanna consider towing it to the workshop straightaway to get all the fluids replaced. Not sure about the condition of the fluids engine oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid etc. after 2 years of NOTHING! (especially the engine oil). Other things like the gasket, oil seals will also dry up after such a long time. And finally, most worrying thing is if your engine has SEIZED. Not to mention, you'll also have to go for a PUSPAKOM inspection. Any car roadtax which has expired for more than 1 year has to undergo inspection again and there, you have to face issues such as tinting... Good luck in bringing your car back to life! [/QUOTE]
