Considering getting the BMW Sirius install kit for my E46 and will likely purchase from Circle BMW for $400 (including all components including install kit and antenna). Wanted to hear from others on how will this kit integrates into existing radio-cd head unit and how easy the installation...

Our 1986 528e 's wipers will not shut off once they are turned on. They will change speed, but not operate intermittently.

Welcoming all relevant suggestions for fixing a high idle.

I heard that they are going to do a 7 Series makeover, possibly smoothing out some of the Bangleness. Does anyone know when this is going to happen? Any pics yet?

Hello. New to this group:) I recently bought my new/old BMW from a friend of mine. My question is: The dashboard computer kept signaling one of the taillights was out. I replaced all bulbs on that side. That side worked, but the next day, the other side went out. Replaced those bulbs. Same thing...

How bad is it to get at the heater core in a '95 325i?

I just got a 2000 323i and it did not have the stereo manual. On the steering wheel I have 2 buttons and I think they go to a hands free cell phone option. They are just below the up/down station preset buttons. One is R/T and the one below that has a picture of a face with sound waves coming out...

2003 BMW 330xi w. Sport Package. Rather than the factory CD changer (no MP3... stupid, stupid, stupid!) I also added an Alpine in-trunk CD-changer which includes MP3 capability. I found a simple wiring interface from the Alpine to the BMW wiring harness, so I can drive the changer with the...

Good news for Democrats. Chris Bangle, head of the BMW styling, has been hired by Dubya. Lord have mercy. I'm--- finally--- thanking Jesus; so Chris Bangle can do to the Republicans what Chris Bangle has done to BMW. Maybe Chris Bangle can style the SWIFT BOATS? No doubt the boats will skink,...

Howdy, One of my rims suffered a minor scrape last summer, and I'm working on repairing it while the winter rims are on the car. Any advice on how I might determine what paint to use? I'd read somewhere to use Würth's silver, but unless I'm doing something really wrong with it, it turns out to...

Days? Repaired? It takes an hour to take it off and put a new one on. Assuming I used the correct engine for your car, the alternator will cost you about $250 if you go to the parts store yourself and get it. I can't tell what the price will be if your mechanic buys it and passes it along to you,...

328i E36 what do you think ?

We have two E36 £ Series both 1997. The light switch (headlights) background lighting panel has the bulb gone. I've got the bulbs, is there anything I need to know before I undo the only screw (Philips) that I can see. Does the unit just pull out after the screw is out. My missus would not talk...

Just had new arms and bushings installed on my 2001 740i. Now there is a creaking squeaking sound at the rear, both sides I think. Any clues as to why or where it is likely coming from? Do I have to return to the dealer for a fix? Thanks

Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can point me to a post or page with suggested alignment specs for a 2005 E46, for spirited recreational driving, highway driving and occasional autocross. Coming from the Miata world where everything was adjustable, I don't yet know how flexible BMW alignment is. ...

My car is a 1992 BMW 325i E36. Yesterday, the dealer replaced all the valve cover gaskets because of the oil leak. This morning when I drove, it gave me only cold air. I tried to turn the heater to maximum but it had no effect. Can you let me know what can be the problem? Is it possible that...

I have an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for a 1988 BMW 318i. This original Bosch unit # 0 261 200 157 was taken from an excellent running vehicle and is known to be good! I believe this will work for several different year E30 BMW's. Your local BMW repair shop will charge you 300-400 bucks for a...

I just had an iPod harness installed into a 2005 325i for use with my iPod Mini. It works great, except after 15 minutes or so of playing, it shuts down and the FM radio kicks on. When I then press the "mode" button to switch back to the CD Changer (i.e. the iPod) the display says "No Disc". The...
