Hello, 2000 E39 (528i) here..... Yesterday I just noticed my speedometer, the analog mpg guage, the digital odometer became inop. Any thoughts? Is there a fuse for this?

Hello, I thought I'd put this out there to others who have the knowledge and the history of this engine. These are the symptoms we are experiencing with our 330xi automatic (M54 B30 engine). I may actually be describing more than one problem? 1. engine starts fine when cold with the exception...

Hi Folks, I hear e36 suspension and brake parts are a good upgrade for E30 cars.. I'm parting out a 1996 328i with good parts for this. It's got light (but serious enough the write off!) front end damage. The brake/suspension parts a Newer front control arms (~60k ago I think)

Hi, So I took a test drive today on a 2005 325xi. They didn't have any 325i's which they could pull out easily so I took the all wheel drive out for a test. I have to say I like the ride of the car and I could see out of the car easily (especially the left windows) which is difficult in some cars...

I have borrowed bmw tis 2006 off a friend but when I install it to my computer it installs in german and not english (even when eng is selected). I think it's a copy off the internet and it's missing some files, is there a way to get it in english or should I have a look on ebay?

Hi, Have a 1990 525i. The after a long trip of about 40 min. (now it did it the other day after only a few miles) the computer will flash "Engine Oil Low". Get out, open the hood, check the dipstick, reads right in the middle of add and full. What gives? Computer sensor broken? ...

2008 Acura TSX:Sporty and economic, with room for baby. This car has been a joy to drive in the few short days that I've driven it. It handles well, has excellent fuel economy and is roomy without losing the sporty feel. At 28k, it's probably the most affordable luxury car on the market, and is in...

Just bought an e65 745i and was wondering, what indication comes up if the car starts to overheat. Does the warning system 'bong' to warn you or do get some sort of bargraph display (like the range indication) to let you know how hot things are or does the perimeter of the tacho just light up...

First, let me say thanks for all those that replied to my earlier post: "325xi vs 325i". It did help me make my decision. I'm going with the all wheel drive xi model. Did some test drives of late, and they confirmed exactly what I read, and expected. Balancing budget, mileage and model, it...

Hi, As I moved off tonight, got a shuddering noise like I had driven over some rough stones, followed by "DSC failure, please drive moderately" warning. Any ideas?? 2004 745i 70K Cheers,

Cool little ride First off, this is a very nice little car. For most people, it is more than enough in terms of performance. The handling / balance isn't quite what the 3-Series offers, but it's still very agile. And the styling is very cool... striking in person. To most of the people writing...

A more general question - but I do have a BMW! Car in question (E60 three years old) - is it a good idea to have the air conditioning recharged? Air Con is pretty much left switched on all the time and seems fine. Cheers A

I cueently own a 95 E34, looking to purchase an 03 525 or 530 (sport) I like the added power of the 530, but came accross a clean 525. Any suggestions on how to chip-up the 525, and what HP that will net me? Thx.

Hi, Anyone taken the tank out and found the filter and cleaned it (and obviously reassembled!)? My washers are playing up. Mostly they only squirt the water just above the wipers (this has only happened a week or so ago) but then they worked ok for a couple of days, now they are back to being...

I have had an Alpina Roadster S Lux since new for almost 3 years now. It has been an outstanding vehicle save for one minor problem. The Satnav screen seems to have problems popping up. Sometimes I have to press the button several times to make it work and then it may only go half way. Oddly -...

Hey :-) Really hope somebody can give me a hint. The (long) story (there's always a story before the problems starts J) I have a 316i Compact from 1998 (the M43, 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine) that's done around 200.000km. Just bought the car, and the car had a rough idle especially when warm. Not...

http://www.koperformance.com/BMW/turbo_superchargers/vf_engineering/vf_enginnering_supercharger_for_e39_528_and_530.htm hello, found the above from a bmw e39 website. I am curious about adding approx 100 more HP to car, but wondering if this will be reliable? Has anyone here done this? Should I...

I have an E46 that had the differential oil changed; unfortunately it was not filled up to the right capacity and now needs to be topped up by about 450ml of extra oil! I do not have the original oil with which it was initially used (Amsoil SVG 75w90) but have Castrol XO 75W90 (which is...
