I've had the experience of driving a BMW X1 this week, as a loaner car. My own car was in the body shop for some damages, so the insurance company sprang for the X1 as my loaner. I was taken a little off-guard by the engine auto-stop feature when you come to an idling situation, like...

I'm getting my E30 318is resprayed and thought it might be a good time to install fog lights. There are two types of fog lights on ebay shipped from Hong Kong, and the prices are lower than the genuine BMW ones. Has anyone tried either of them, or have any comments on non-genuine BMW fog...

The car runs good, no problems. Spark plugs are old, 150,000 miles and 16 years (1997 vehicle). I decide to change the plugs. No troubles BEFORE I begin. When I am done, the engine runs poorly, severe -- or at least notable -- misfire. I drive for a day or two -- probably about 50 miles or...

My son would like to sell his 2008 M3 Sedan. Under 40,000 miles, dealer serviced. 6-speed trans with I believe most if not all available options of the time. Is this a good site for selling such a beast or can someone suggest a better? Thank you. --

I have a 2005 M3 with about 50K miles. The car has recently been to the dealer for Inspection II and the following problem. The problem, that is unsolved, occurs on days when the ambient temperature is about 20 deg F or cooler. I'll start the car and let it run for 10 to 15 seconds, back out of...

I have always owned Fords, so, I have no idea what I would be up against as far as maintenance and...

If a used/certified BMW has the smokers' package, does that usually mean it was previously owned by a smoker?
