I've only had it a few weeks, when it started developing this noise. Kind of a fast cricket-like chirping that seems to vary with speed. I'm wondering if it's related to the power steering. It's a little more prominent when the car is cold, but comes and goes regardless. Seems a little more...

I want to replace the water pump on my 1994 525i. How do I do it i.e. what do I need to take off first to get to it and what tools etc. will I need? Thanks Linda

Hi folks - I've got a 1995 525, and the passenger side heater is permanently on. The driver side functions as expected, but the passenger gets their legs cooked whatever the controls are set to. Eastern BMW in Edinburgh Scotland (avoid this garage) replaced the controls at great expense, but I've...

when i build up speed a thump like noise comes from (i think ) my back wheel. It sounds like i have a flat tyre and the faster i go the lounder it gets, i paid out for new back tyres hoping that would solve it but has not.

Does anyone know if there are significant differences between the E90 2006 325 and 2007 328 wagons - other than the motor and 2 wheel drive availability on the 328? Thanks. Tom K.

I originally joined this group because the remote c/l on my E36 stopped working - much the same time that the boot light also stopped. So I took particular interest in the discussion re. the 5 series with a similar problem. A reply from HTH pointed to a possible failure in the cables by the boot...

Firstly, it all begin with the battery light randomly coming on. This all lasted for about a week. Strangely, 2 days ago NO battery light came on when i turned the ignition half way when the radio etc is on, but the engine if off. Just yesterday, as i was driving the ABS light started flickering,...

Someone here in Dubai is selling one that's run 110,000 km and is quoting $5,000. Being used daily, he says, and looks solid enough without any apparent problem (did a test run yesterday). Two questions - (a) is the price fair or thereabouts, and (b) are spares for that car still...

My front struts are worn out and a reputable shop is willing to rebuild them for $600. If I do the job myself I will spend maybe 1/3 that cost in parts. I have the Bently manual, lots of experience working on this car and others, and can borrow a spring compressor for free, but have never done...

Can anyone tells me where the fuel pump relay is located on a 88 735il?

In the last two weeks or so, my 1997 E36 has started to "wag it's tail." From about 15-20 mph, the car wobbles...not very technical, I know, but that's the best way to describe it. It feels like one of the wheels is eccentric, like those little kids toys where the center of the wheel isn't...

I've just bought a spare single button remote off ebay for my 1994 525 td . I thought that you could reprogram the remote by taking the chip out and placing it in the alarm box under the back seat. But unfortunately the chip is soldered into the circuit board in the remote so it can't come out....

Hi I am thinking about buying a 1994 BMW 530 V8 with 50k miles on. I understand that there is an issue about a possible Nikasil engine? I believe the engine has not been changed - is there any test available to quickly check the vehicle. I know that BMW can do a test but obviously this requires...

Sometimes I can hear a short sound signal in my car. This usually happens soon after I start the engine. Once it happened about 1 minute after I switched on the headlights while driving. What can this be?

It won't open from the inside or outside, and the mechs spent 45 mins with a slimjim, to no avail. What can I do? -Martin

I've started to have an interesting problem with my 1992 E34. I was driving home from the mountains and the check engine light would start to blink randomly and incessently. I would slow down and the light would go out. I got the 1261 code from the computer. I swapped the relay with another and the...
