Hi, I am new to the site and also new to BMW ownership. I am from Malta and bought a BMW E60 520d msport 2008.

Really happy with it but the only problems I have at the moment is that my front passenger side electric window switch does not work however when controlled from the drivers side it works fine. does someone knows how to remove this switch and how to replace it? pictures will be very helpful(the switch is located in the middle of the door card not on the door handle).

Another problem that I have is that when checking the oil level on the idrive screen it is marking too high. Is there a DIY section how to replace oil and filter for a 520d model? And what do you recommend the best oil for this engine please?

The last doubt I have is that I don't know where is the exterior trim colour code for the paintwork as I need to purchase touch up paint however I can't find it. Colour is blue but there are more than one type.

And finally do you know links where I can download for free haynes manuals for this e60 diesel model? And also a link to download it's original handbook as I don't have nothing with the car except the service history.

Thanks alot for helping me in this new ownership and I hope that I made the right choice of car....
