this here can be tricky, if you steering wheel tilt stoped working all together, there are two motors, one for up and down, and one for in and out. they are under the dash. under the steerign column. however since you also complain about having the seats not work sometime, i presume the cause would be a bad seat module, the seat module controls the seat movements as well as the steerign column movemnets and memory for both, the module itself are the buttons on the drives front seat. the buttons you move when adjusting drivers seat, that's the module. there is a bulletin pertaining to this problem, and you must have sw10 or higher, and the steering column motors may also be defective, since coding is involved with modules, i sudjest taking the car to the dealer.
Before taking the car to the stealership, check out www.e38.org There you will find that the most likely cause is that the connector to the control that moves the seat back-forward is loose. Just detach it using the built-in latch mechanism, then reinsert it and close the latch. You'll find "How To's" on the web site.
Where is fuel filter located on 1998 740il BMW?
Like all E38 7-series, the fuel filter is located on the passenger-side (right side) UNDER the car, approximately in line with the front passenger seat. There should be a plastic protective cover that is held with several hex screws. This cover starts from the rear of the front wheel well to about where the B-pillar is.
Once the cover is removed, there is a silver cylinder. On the 1998, there should be a fuel hose connected to each end of the cylinder.

1997 BMW 740il wont start clicking under hood?
When you turn the key, does the car just click...or do you hear cranking too? If all you hear is a click, it's a starter problem. Something that's easy to try is to get under the car with a hammer and LIGHTLY!!!! tap the starter while someone tries to crank the engine. A lot of times they just stick, and doing this will clear them up.

When should I change my BMW 740 timing chain?
I asked a service rep at Classic BMW in Plano that question and he said "never".
The 740 has a timing chain, not a timing belt. Cars with timing belts usually have to change it every 80-100k miles, but this does not apply to timing chains. If your timing chain is intact, you should not have to have it replaced. Chains do not stretch or wear out.
More likely, if you have a E38 (1994-2001), the timing chain may rattle, which is NOT an indication of a problem with the timing chain. There is a timing chain tensioner that loses its ability over time to apply proper tension to the chain, and that is a relatively easy and inexpensive replacement. Another well-known problem is that you may eventually need to replace the timing chain GUIDES, which is plastic and can wear and break off over time.
