SOURCE: radio has no sound or intermittent sound.bmw e39 5 series '00.

You might want to suspect a stereo amplifier. Does your car have DSP? In any case, look in the trunk on the left hand side. You will find your radio amplifier back there. It will have about a 3in connector with a bunch of twisted pair wiring. Remove the connector and make sure there is no water contamination. All sound processing takes place in the amp.

SOURCE: BMW Z3 WRONG UNLOCK RADIO CODE HOW TO GET THE RIGHT ONE

If the radio is displaying code wait, or wait, then the ignition and radio must remain on for 1hour. I would contact a dealer within the USA and provide them with your radio serial number. The serial number can be displayed in the radio by pressing and holding down the "M" button while turning on the ignition.

I try to go for top speed in my e39 540 i bmw but it gone only for 210 so why ?

It's because of your Motronic Unit (the computer) having self-limiters in it. If you want to change your computer's settings, go to www.bavauto.com and they sell "chips" or a programmer to allow you to reach top speeds by bypassing the limiters within your Factory Computer...known to us "Bimmer" enthusiasts as a Motronic.

Hope this Helps,
