I have a 2004 E46 330 ci. When pulling away in first gear, the car "Kangaroos" right through the rev range until second gear is selected. This is an intermittent fault,worse in wet weather, which my local dealer is having difficulty rectifying as there is no error showing on their diagnostic...

I have a '92 525i with the standard BMW radio/cd head. Recently the right channel sounds "scratchy" and when you turn the volume knob it makes loud pops, only in the right channel. Is the volume pot dirty or is there something else causing the problem? Thanks!

Having just bought this car I thought the clutch pedal was a bit high & the clutch had a lot of travel before the bite, making changes a bit awkward esp if changing at high revs, I thought I would get used to it, but have not as yet. Is there any way of adjusting the clutch or lowering the pedal...

Hello Everyone, First let me tke a moment to thank you folks for all the great info I've gleaned from this newsgroup. I have a little something I can give back. I have upgraded to M3 17" Rims.

Just got the '45 back from the dealer for an oilchange and they upgraded the s/w (I don't know if you can tell what version is installed) and so far have noticed a BIG improvement to the Navigation system. There is a cool new view called perspective which is harder to describe than I care to...
