My 1st UDM an E39

[azren]

Finally after months of searching I settled with a 525i 2001 bought from BCM forum member Lithium2. Planning to bring the car for diagnostic and checkup ASAP. Lithium2 own the car since Dec 2011 and have done many repairs & TLC. All service records since 2011 are now with me and I think without expert help it will take sometime for me to read through and digest what have been done and what needs to be done next.

Is there any TOP 3 or 5 things that I should do first before I go crazy on accessories (M-Sport steering wheels, etc.)? On the instrument cluster I can see AirBag light stays on after engine starts and a warning about check brake light.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Azren

Congrats on ur 'matured' ride bro. First things first, go back to basics : wear and tear (due for replacement, if any), leaks (if any)...... And enjoy her.
