Adjusting shifter on e28 520i auto
It's outlined quite well in the Bentley manual. The Bentley was for US version E28s, so I doubt it's available in Aussiland. But, anyway. . .
There are four steps for adjusting the cable. I'll just quote them word for word.
To adjust linkage (4 HP 22)
1. Position the shift lever in the P (Park) position.
2. Loosen the nut securing the cable rod to the manual valve lever.
3. Puh the manual valve lever foward toward the engine (Park position) while pulling the selector cable rod backward.
4. Clamp the cable rod at the manual valve by torquing the nut.
Tightening Torque, cable rod securing nut: 10 - 12 Nm (89 - 106 in-lb, not to be confused with ft-lb!!!)
Hope this helps!

Shifty thanks for that, I don't have a bentley manual for my e28 (Only a Haynes manual for my old broken E12)
Will attempt the adjust over the weekend.
Mike, Am about to go on Hols for a week, up to King river, back around 10th March, if it is after that would love to come. Have just moved house, last trailer load tonite, and then have to get e28 registered, booked in for 2nd RW inspection on Tuesday. Going bush Thursday if all goes to plan.
By the way the new (to me) 520i is exactly the same colour(Sapphire Blue) as the old 528i. Cool hey !!
