number of 30 day late credit card payments (but always ultimately paid

1990 325i. It has a light in the center of the dash that reads
"Check". Lower on the dash, in a line with several other lights is a
light that reads "Check engine". My question is are these the same or
different? If they...

Argh! Tranny gone bad by

Well, after 12 years of mostly problem-free service, my 2000 323 has
succumbed to the dreaded "no reverse" problem. Damn it. I was hoping
to get a few more years out of it.

I've been having trouble with premature belt failure for a while and can't
figure this out. The first belt that came with the car had a section of it
