Beemer's running smoothly now

I drove my new car to the repairshop Laakkonen in Espoo yesterday, and they did a routine check + oil change for it.

The rear brake light problem seems to be gone now, at least I haven't seen the warning message for a while. Knock knock.

Also, there was no need to replace the rear brake lumps, it was just a case of a missing wear indicator both at the front and at the rear. The previous owned simply took a shortcut to cut costs and only replaced the brake lumps, it seems.

And while surfing last evening, I found a Canadian page (from 2002, but nonetheless) dedicated to BMW E34's. It appears to have nice repair and troubleshooting tips.
