I recently purchased some replacement lights with the clear lenses for my 2000 E46. Installation was a breeze for the front and side lights. The tail lights went in fine, but when it came time to finish up, the inner cover (that actually holds the bulbs) would not snap into place on the...

Got a 1990 325i (E30/M20) that was overheating, but with no apparent pressure loss in the cooling system and no obvious leaks. Took it to H&B in Berkeley, CA and they took the cylinder head off. The head gasket itself looked ok, although it looked as if the head itself might have slid around a bit...

I have a 94/95 BMW 325 convertible The other day I had the top down and push the button for all the windows to go up, but when I got to the car park the two front windows no longer worked. The back ones are OK, but still this is a problem when I shut the doors, the windows clip a part of the lip...

Can someone help me with this code, what should I troubleshoot first? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Joe BMW 2004 525

I am getting ready to rehab our 1993 525 (M50 motor) and need some assistance so I can speed up the process. I will be removing the interior, rear door panels to replace the window motors and regulators. What is the best method for removing the door panels without breaking any retaining clips or...

I've noticed that my '92 BMW 535 has a problem with low oil pressure when parked at an incline. I made two runs getting sand today, and to get the trailer in the right position I had to park the car in the steep area of the driveway. Both times the oil pressure light was on when I started the car,...

Hi Folks, I own a 1998 model BMW E39 5 series, 523iSE Steptronic Auto Saloon. I currently have a nightmare situation involving an accidental aibag activation in it and was wondering if anyone else has ever encountered any similar occurrences. If so, please read on. Anyway, my story goes like...

I recently purchased a 2005 BMW 330i with performance package and absolutely love driving it. Unfortunately, I've been alarmed by the poor gas mileage thus far (3 tanks worth): 14 city/24 highway. Has anyone had this experience with their 330i with performance package? The brochures say it...

Hello Everyone, Please reply as soon as you can. I've just purchased an 83 vw rabbit cabbrio 1.7L auto. I have become VERY frustrated with this car. When I bought it the person said it might need the fuel pump replaced and perhaps a cold start valve. The car is very difficult to start. Once it...

This is correct. This clutch is hydraulic and is self-adjustable. If the clutch isn't slipping when accelerating it's most probably ok. You could have a defective clutch valve and/or hydraulic oil leak. "round Midnight" > wrote in...

BMW came up with a Performance package for U.S. 330i sedans in 2003 to partially compensate for the lack of an M3 sedan. The buyer got a firmer suspension, some trim changes, more rubber, a shorter final drive, bigger wheels, a slightly tweaked suspension and very slightly more power/torque for...

I can understand that the Subaru WRX Sti is fast, but... I'm finding it hard to believe that this dorky Subaru station wagon does 0-60 in 5.3 secs: http://cars.about.com/cs/testdrives/fr/forester_tst.htm Can that be true?!? Ie, can this boxy station wagon smoke every single BMW except for a...

Hi I have put another post in the NG, asking about BMW warranties.... However, I am wondering what BMW's stance would be, if something went wrong with the engine / gearbox on my 745Li, if it were not under warranty. What would they do, with regards to 'Goodwill'?? I believe that an engine /...
