You have my sympathies on the HBV issue and your approach to getting it sorted... we can't all do everything ourselves, for a variety of reasons.

Anyway - a 528, eh? I had one for 8 yrs before I got my Omega- have you been onto the Unofficial BMW owners forum? - sorry I'm no good at links but it's at

www.unofficialbmw.com

you might find it helpful
