Due to the recent downpours we have had there has been lots of flooding country wide. Unfortunately I drove my 6 month old BMW 335d Coupe into such a flood. Other cars were passing through it and once my turn came I atempted to go through the flood about 1foot high. My car stopped dead about 5m...

I have 750IL of 1991 w/ 109K miles. Under 40 MPH, "Engine Check" warning light stays on. At the first starting of engine, throtle valve doesn't open fully and slugglish slow. Then, "Transmission Program" message comes on. Then I have to trun off the ignition key and wait 1 min.and turn again. Then...

Hello, Can anyone tell me where the diagnostic (aka OBD-II, aka DLC) connector is located on a 2004 530i (with the Steptronic transmission, in case that matters)? Thanks in advance, J. McGoggin

Hi guys. I hope some of you can help me solve this problem - I have a mystery rogue clutch master cylinder on my 87 E28 520i. The design and fitting is totally unlike what should be there, at least according to my local BMW dealer. The cylinder is FAG Part No S5392A. Now I need to repair or...

Hi folks, Just received a ticket over the weekend for failing to stop (a rolling stop) at a stop sign. Will be pleading not guilty and fighting the ticket in traffic court. Question, has anyone ever used X-Copper as a service? Is it worth the $300 CDN? Any idea if this is a charge that is easily...

This will probably qualify as a dumb question, but here we go: I have a 1990 325i. It has a light in the center of the dash that reads "Check". Lower on the dash, in a line with several other lights is a light that reads "Check engine". My question is are these the same or different? If they...

What is it with the crazy prices some E36 M3 owners/dealers are trying to get? This summer I toyed with getting one, but was turned off by the attitudes of some of the owners I tried to deal wth. These guys (mostly private parties) were trying to get upwards of $25,000 (some, a lot upwards) for a...

BMW seems to have some great leasing rates right now advertised on their web site. I have a medicore (690) FICO score due to a fair number of 30 day late credit card payments (but always ultimately paid of course) but I make well over 7 figures annually and have a bank account well over 7 figures...

OK, I bit the bullet and ordered a 2005 E60. (I am quite happily dumping my 2000 911, which I consider a pretty dismal car. If anyone wants a good price on a 2000 911 with only 26k miles on it, let me know.) The dealer didn't require a deposit on it (and, without much negotation I got about $1500...

BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies. Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that...

2014 BMW X5 - First Drive It seems hard to believe that this is BMW's third iteration of the X5 As one of the more recent additions to the off-road genre, it seems hard to believe this is BMW's third iteration of the X5, a vehicle that first arrived in 1999 but seems to have quickly become part of...

Test drove the Acura RL today - a nice car, for $10K less, same equipment, as the 545. Provides an interesting choice. Standard on the RL is a Nav System, heated seats, 6 disk CD changer, remote fuel door release, trunk pass through, voice activated controls, RF key - no key needed in...

Hi, I'm about to buy a 3 series BMW (318i SE Auto). This is a second hand model and is a 2002 UK model. (The model just prior to the new angular one). I know these are generaly very sound cars. My friend has a similar model that I've driven, when I am in neutral (from memory) the gear lever can...

I've searched the net and haven't found a solution to this problem yet. I own an 87 325iC. Starting about two years ago, with my headlights on, whenever I used the turn signal and completed a turn and it would snap back to the normal position, my high beams would come on. I explained the problem...

Should a new car come with letters and numbers. I have recently bought a new 118d xdrive but nowhere are these shown.(makes me worried that it may not be new)

Hi. My 540i with 150k miles needs yet another set of tires. Had been putting Michelin Pilot 235/45ZR17s on them but they don't see to last, and the last batch have been really uneven (flat spots on parts of the front tires causing thump thump etc.) So, am looking for a decent but inexpensive...
