    Saw it on craigslist and emailed the seller. Seems like a good car. He wanted to upgrade to a 430 he said. I have been keeping an eye out for a 1998 but those are pretty rare to find.

    Our other BMW may need a new tranny and if that is the case then we'll be saying goodbye. Shame too because the V12 runs strong as ever but a tranny would be a lot to put into it and not worth it on a 1990.

    Anyway, is it pretty much the same as our 96? What options came with the Coach Ed.? Air suspension I am not so crazy over but the Nak sound system would be nice.

    Thanks,

    One real good thing is the upgrade on the seats, it is made MUCH better has many breathing holes in them and seem to last a LOT longer than non coach editions.

     

    sorry folks, I didnt realize this was 2008 listing..

    I have a 1994 Lexus ls400, and I’m trying to fix the steering wheel tilt. But for some reason the right side of the column won’t move. 
     

    I have taken out the screw behind the steering wheel, and 1 from the bottom. The other screw on the bottom was missing. There’s a hole that goes directing into the column, I think that’s why the right side it stuck. 
     

    I’ve tried just tried to rip it off but it just won’t budge (I really hope I ain’t dumb and it’s just a stubborn clip), if anyone got any ideas I would really appreciate it 

     

    thank you 🙂

    should be 3 screws, two behind the SW, and one on the bottom AND then 2 HOOKS, either squeeze, the bottom half and lift the top off OR squeeze the top and life the bottom off

  6. as a NEW member, the FIRST thing you need to do is SEARCH other people's steering problems, this has been covered for years.

    there are even videos showing you how to fix it.. THEN if you dont understand, ask for help.

    a 5 cent garden hose washer will fix it (usually). see videos.. 

    2 screws to remove the covers, then 3 screws to remove the plate and you are looking at it.

  7. OK, you ask for advice, and you got mine. so now go and do what you want to do.

    I doubt you needed  the gear, just a 5 cent garden hose washer.. 

    if you would READ instead of just asking questions, you would know how to fix some of your items 

    good luck... 

     

  8. OK, never mind , I got it all fixed... removed all the plastic housings on the right side, actually just used the air intake to swivel it up out of the way,

    and removed the bolt holding the OCV in its chamber, slid it up and washed it out with WD40 top clean it out, reassembled it and went for a drive,

    and in less than a mile the lights went out and it was running like always....  not a bad days work for a almost 85 year old guy...

    of course I am very tired and will expect much pain tomorrow, but it didnt cost anything but work.. and I didnt know I could do it.. MLK closures 

    forced me into action...  Oh I did split one vacuum hose that I will need to replace (it is too short to trim down).

    Below is my old shop I owned for 30 years.... I retired in 96, at 62 years old, and that was 23 years ago...

    I have a couple of 'spare' parts that were left in the trunk of the car when I bought it a while ago, and I can't find where they are meant to go.

    One says F/L and the other says R/R, so I assume they go front left and right rear.

    The part numbers are:

    F/L: 67774-50020

    R/R: 67775-50030

    I've attached a picture of them.

    Does anyone have any idea where they go?

    Cheers.

    you are right. they go in the "POCKET" on the doors as a trim panel at the top.. glue them in.. 

  10. I will put an end to this mystery..... these are the trim finish panels that fit the "hole"  in all 4 doors, you cant see them, but your fingers feel them when you use the opening to close the door.... 

    they seem to fit 95-2000
