By 'reset', you mean having it open/close with one push of the switch? If so, you will need to 'hold' the open side of the switch until the sunroof completely opens.....hold the switch for about fifteen seconds; then push close side of switch until sunroof closes.....hold the switch for about fifteen seconds-or until you hear a beep. This should 're-program' your sunroof.

The fuse bos should be int he back left of the trunk under the carpet on the side. Peel back the carpet from the side...slowly and you should find it there.

SOURCE: BMW Cabin AIr Filters for 1997 740il

there are two more filters. they are called interior recirculation filters.
one is located under the footwell trim panels for the driver and passenger.after removing the trim panels, look inward toward the center console and follow it back to the firewall.the filter is about 3inches by 4inches. make sure not to inhale the dust from them when removing them..they will cause a sinus headache.I recommend replacing them very 2 years, especially if you use recirculation.

SOURCE: 2001 BMW 740iL is sputtering when I accelarate and shaky when idl

A tune-up and throttle body clean-up is a good idea, but mind you on those cars, the valve covers usually leak into the spark plugs and coils, causing the car to misfire. If you are replacing the plugs and find them soaked in oil; replace your valve cover gaskets or you will be back to the same problem soon after the oil soaks the new plugs back up again.

How do I find the wiper relay on my 1997 BMW 740il. I ordered a factory wiper relay .its Tan in color, I cant find it. I need help from a professional can you help me.

It's located inside the power distribution panel.

The power distribution panel on your car is located under the hood in the engine compartment. It is located on the right passenger side closest to the firewall.

When you open the cover to the PDP, you'll see a series of blade type fuses in the front compartment and a bunch of wire harnesses in the back- that's where you'll find the tan colored relay you need to replace.

I have attached a youtube video for you to watch because it appears that the most common cause of this relay failure is due to water build up in the PDP compartment which is causing serious wiring deterioration and rusting- not only to the wiper relay but to the other relay components in that block.

So should you be experiencing the same problem when you open the power distribution panel, you'll know what to do.
