Is there a way to get the computer to display on the dashboard how many miles it thinks it can go until the next oil change? Or is it just those little colored squares that give the indication? Thanks, Pete

I've found that the last green indicator takes the longest to go out before it turns to Yellow. Id say within the next 3,000 miles it will turn Yellow, your indicator should be fine. -Branden > wrote in message ... > My 2000...

I recently bought a 2003 X5 with premium radio and rear seat DVD (don't really care about that, just had it). It didn't come with a CD changer. No NAV either (I already had a Garmin). When I thought about how to improve the entertainment options I realized that more CDs wasn't something I...

Following some vandalism, I replaced the entire offside wing mirror assembly/housing with a salvaged unit from a specialist BMW vehicle dismantler. The electrics were working fine with the damaged unit. Once the replacement was in place I got about 1 seconds worth of electric motor before it...

I recently heard a discussion on remote car starters. One view is that when a car is started in cold weather, it should be driven within a minute or so. The opposing view is that you should let it sit for 5 minutes to warm up. Any views/insights out there?

I am thinking about picking up a 1989 325 convertiable that needs a new manual transmission. What transmission would I need? would this be found in a lot of other models like a 320i or a 325e. Is this a real hard project? I also have a 1983 320i and need to replace the drivers seat. Are there...

Hi my bmw 318 ci would not start at all when i turned the key. The lights on the dash board came on and nothing. I locked the car then when I pressed the button on the key fob the car would not unlock. Then it did unlock then the light never came on. I called for assistance then the key...

Hi, All, I own a 1998 328i with the Harmon Kardon stereo upgrade. This system has a switch on the console that turns on and off some kind of spatial processing which boosts the bass and alters the "stereo image" specifically for this model of car. Recently I have had a problem where just the...

I think this style was only on the 328. Tires or no tires OK Thanks Steve Thebestofsteve2 @ aol .com

I've put 4 very nice E30 cables with brackets and cover on a major auction site, item number: 270048065654. $20 starting price. If you want to move your battery to the trunk for better weight distribution, longer battery life, or closer to your amps, you need this. These are clean, dry parts, no...

A while back I was searching out a problem where my car would not turn above ~1500RPM. I finally got sick of trying parts (fuel pump, filter, air meter) so I took it to the most recommended shop around. They had it for over a month trying to track down the issue. It was setting a cam sensor...

Funny thing happened the other day... I put the key in the ignition and turned the key and it just turned freely forwards and back. I took the key out, pondered a bit, put it back in, turned and this time it worked. Can someone enlighten me, I'm guessing it is a security feature but how is it...
