To all: If anyone has a Bentley (or comparable) shop manual on CDrom and would be willing to burn a copy of it.... I'd be willing to throw some $s your way! Matt. remove X

Hi All. I have a most unusual problem with my 2001 E46 M3 US spec. The headlights are flashing non-stop. It's the strangest thing. When the car is at rest with the headlights on, they will flash twice per second continually. When the car starts moving the flashing becomes more random. Only the...

Hi All. What can be done to reduce or prevent axle (wheel) hopping during a holeshot start? It's pretty bad through first gear on my 2001 M3 Couple. TIA

Hi All. Is there a required or recommended differential lube for my 2001 M3 Coupe? TIA Chris

My 2-door 2001 M3 (USA 72k) driver's side door lock won't pop up but will pop down when using the key remote. I can hear the lock mechanism working but only rarely does the door lock button go up, unlocking the door (the passenger side door works perfectly). I've been using the key to unlock the...

'01 X5, 3.0L auto. On startup there is a loud, high pitched whining/whistling sound coming from the front of the engine. After warm up the sound generally disappears. Fan belts are new, ~4 months old. Could it be the water pump? clutch fan? power steering pump? All fluids are topped off.

Does anyone know by any chance what the BMW recommended alignment specs are for an '02 530i manual with sport pkg? My local indy shop 'claims' they know, but i've got some issues and wanted to double-check if they've used the correct specs. Thanks, Pete

Had the oil changed but when they reset the service reminder it now reads celcius on the temp guages. Does anybody know how to change it to farenheit without taking it back the hour drive to the dealer? thanks, dale

When I accelerate around a corner or from a stop, making a turn at a street corner for example, LOTS of resistance in the steering. Doesn't seem to make a lot of difference if the AC is on, maybe some. It does NOT happen when DE-celerating. I don't know if it's the power steering pump or the main...

We recently purchase a 330i 2003- sport/premium. The car had 43,500 miles on it but looked pretty good. After I washed it, in my thorough fashion, and waxed the oriental blue metallic paint, the car looked wonderful. The only exception is the number of paint small chips due to rock impacts. None of...

I'm looking for a right side (passenger) Xenon Headlight for my '04 BMW 330ci Convertible. Can't find one on eBay or on car-parts.com... Any ideas or does anyone know of where I can get one? Thanks!

Can anyone list off all the differences, big or small, between the '05 and '06 BMW 545? If not, does anyone know where online I could find out? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

I'm sure this has been covered since when I google the subject, there are some various hits. My '06 325xi reads about 6-8 mph faster than the car is actually going when at highway speeds. The dealer refuses to address it stating that 5mph variance is allowed an legal. First, it annoys the hell...

The original Hyundai Genesis was a noble first shot at the luxury car market, but it couldn't match the driving dynamics, interior refinement or prestige of the Audi A6, BMW 5 series or Mercedes-Benz E350. Read Mo...

I bought 2 rear KYB shocks that came with no new bushings. Anyone suggest a company that know's there Beamer's? Spud

Hello- I recently renovated completely a 1983 BMW 320i. Everything works 100%, except when I run the A/C, the temp needle goes up to the red. When I turn off the A/C , down it goes to normal. There is no funny sound with the A/C and it works perfectly when on. The radiator fan is spinning, so I...

Hi! Whilst trying to chase down a "houling" noise, I found a noisy thingy between the fuel pump and the fuel line by the left rear wheel well. It looks like the pulsation damper (?) on the fuel rail up front... The service manual doesn't show any there...

Hi all, I have an 1984 528e that's been gettin' my floor wet with coolant for all too long now, so I've made the leap and finally found some time to disassemble the dash and replace the little sucker. I've removed the entire dash and center console, the AC evap. unit, etc, etc. Removed about all...
