There is a charitable organization that can give you a much bigger tax deduction than the value of your car!!!! They do it by structuring a lease of the vehicle and have you donate both the car AND THE LEASE!! You see, a long-term lease is worth MUCH more than the car itself!! Email...

I have a Manual Transmission 520i 1994 bmw (in the UK). I have had it for 1month, I can hear whining noise. Not sure if it had it whenm I bought it (was not used to bmw), but I don't think it did. any ideas? Would Transmission Oil change help? I am quite concerned! I have been advised that it maybe...

Anybody know if the Euro E36 M3 diff is the same size and has the same mounting points as the Euro 325TDS and 328i ? Thanks

I owned a 5 series and several 3 series back when I lived in South Africa. Most people there (especially BMW owners) think the national speed limit of 120km/h is more of a guide than a real limit - 120 km/h means if you can't do more than 120, you shouldn't be on the road... I haven't got the money...

Anyone know where the OBD II port is on a 2001 X5?

Our 1995 BMW540I needs new key fob batteries, BMW part number is 61 35 8 364 946. They are very expensive at the dealer. Does anyone have the generic battery equivalence that they can provide? Please advise

Hi I have an E65 in the UK. I understand that there is already a GSM system installed, with a SIM card, for use with BMW assist, as well as the other GSM SIM which is used for the phone. Is this correct?? ie. 2 GSM systems (although 1 is only to be used for BMW Assist etc).

Howdy, I hope this isn't an inappropriate posting for this group, my apologies if it is. We recently traded our E46 325Ci for a 330Ci. We had purchased a winter tire package from our local BMW dealer (in Waterloo, Ontario) for the 325, but the rims won't fit the 330's larger brakes. So they're...

E34 M5. Engine fires and idles OK but runs very rough after about 2000 RPM almost as if it's cutting out. Under light throttle load, it kicks and bucks, but as the car warms up, it gets better. About 5 mins after reaching normal operating temp, it runs as normal. It feels electrical, as opposed...

Just picked up a 1993 525i in great shape, but a few things slipped by my inspection. Most importantly, the locks have a tendancy to unlock themselves. If I lock them while I'm in the car, they may immediately pop back up, or they might pop up some minutes later. Sometimes they'll go up and down...

So I replaced the batteries in my 1995 BMW540I key fobs (2 CR2016 batteries), one works fine while the other no longer operates the car (the LED does flash) wireless. Note the batteries were only out of the fob about 15 seconds. There must be a method / procedure to synchronize the key fob to the...

Hi Does anyone know if the Professional Nav on the 1 comes with a TV in the UK. The original options list i had when ordering the car said it did (can't find it now) but my dealer feels that it will not. Cheers Blu.
