How come all the engine problems with the M3 engine in the E46 series? I was thinking of getting an early one now that they are hitting the $35,000 mark, but all the recalls have me worried. I don't want to buy into a maintenance hog - especially an expensive maintenance hog. I thought BMW really...

The water/washer fluid leaks out of my reservoir daily. There is no leak from the resevoir or pump when I take it out of the car. After a day or two the reservoir is empty and the warning light is on. I've checked the hose and it seems to be fine. I have a 2001 330CI. Any suggestions?

Hello Guys, I just picked up my 330xi last week, a big change from my 540, but I am getting used to it! The stealer told me not to do any maintenance until the service indicator tells me -another 24k kilometers! (15k miles) Should I not change the oil? the dealer says no. the car has 80k...

I replaced all pads and warning sensors. The brake lining light is still on in the console of my 1986 325. I can reset the caution panel and the check light will stop flashing. Any troubleshooting feedback?

Hi, my 1990 E34 (M50) idles irractically when it has less than half a tank of petrol, any ideas what causes this? idle valve? fulel pump? something else? Thanks

Hi, was the E34 version of the M5 ever made with an automatic box? And what was the top speed, 0-60 and BHP of the E34 M5? Thanks

I have an E34 520i and I find that when flat out it still has lots of power still and the 6 cyl is not using all it's power. Was the E34 limited in anyway for the UK market? Whats the BHP? If it was limited, is there away to unlimit it? I am sure there is more power there. Because in "sports box"...

Thinking about selling it for something newer. It's a 1985 635CSi with 130k and the rare five speed manual. Mechanically it runs great. I've spent probably $5-7k updating everything from the cooling system, clutch, valve job, tune up, new shocks and struts, brakes and a lot more. Engine is...
