My daughter has run her '00 3 Series out of gas a couple of times, but the Range button displays upwards of 30 miles remaining. she fills the tank everytime she gets gas, so the car knows where/how much a full tank is. Does the Range button work by figuring how far the car can go based on prior...

2001 320d The power starts to come in on acceleration and then goes all flat, it makes overtaking pretty dangerous, any ideas as to the cause?

Hi, I added a reformulator to my oil crankcase and gas tank and got better Performance and an INCREASE in gas mileage. It works on just about any combustible engine. It works on cars, boats, generators etc. I even use it in my lawn mower, lol. This stuff works. I put 1 ounce per 10 gallons of...

The upper bolt on my alternator is cocked because the bushing is shot. That means the alternator sits crooked, and the belt with it. Is this available separately or can one be easily fabricated to fit? Can it be removed and replaced in the car?

There is no rush on this job. Tappets can make nosie for years and years. Having said that, I can't hear your tappets, and it is possible that there is danger of them colapsing entirely, in which case the valve in question would not open fully. I see no point in rushing into anything here. I'd...

hi am considering buying a 318ti (E36) and wondered IS THE "T" FOR TURBO???

I'm planning to service the brakes on my '98 M3. I'd like to get a good quality dial gauge to check rotor run out, and a clamp to keep the gauge steady. I've seen pictures of a Honda clamp which is basically a flexible arm which attaches to the vehicle near the wheel, with the gauge attached to...

I have an 84 733i, and I've been working on fixing several of the problems in the car. One of the last ones that immediately concern me is the temperature gauge, which doesn't budge. The sender is good, the indicator is good (passed some current through it,) and I can "see" the sender from...

Hello all, I've a problem with my '92 525i when the tempratures outside drop to around freeze point. The speedometer and RPM meter start jumping around, or stay at 20km/h 500 rpm. When the car has heated up and I stop it for 2 minutes or so the problem is gone. Does somebody know what the...

http://www.ng2000.com/news.php?tp=bmw At the CARTES electronic expo at Paris, BMW and Visa have teamed up to develop a new feature that can soon allow your BMW vehicle to process your credit card and allow transaction right through your car.

Have any E39's got good h/brakes? Auto 528i Had new rear discs, pads, and shoes fitted today. Handbrake is still very poor. I'm nor exactly a weakling, but without using the footbrake I can't pull it on hard enough to stop the car creeping on tickover, which is only about 750 rpm. It did pass...

My low coolant light has been coming on at first start in the morning. It only stays on for a short while (about a quarter mile of gentle driving) then it goes out and doesn't re-appear all day. The temp gauge never gets hot. If I let it sit most of the day after the initial start, it may come...

Hello, I have a a 1987 black 325e and the cabin heat is not working. What would you recommend? (no heat at all).

Just bought a used (10k miles) Z4 with a light tan rag top. Any suggestions on what to use to clean it and possibly water proof it? BMW has its own line of course but they are some other brand with their logo stamped on it so the price can triple.

Can someone steer me in the right direction. I keep my eyes on the junk yards but no luck so far. From the dealership it's around $150, too much for me. Thanks in advance!

Anybody have a preference of automatic over stick? I will be buying a Z4. I want an automatic because 1) I will not be driving it like a race car and 2) the advances in automatic transmissions make them as reliable as manuals and 3) I have been driving autos for over 30 years and am ready for...
