Check light / Check engine light by nichdl1
This will probably qualify as a dumb question, but here we go: I have a 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 dizzy[_2_]
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. Now I have to decide if a car with a book value of only a few grand, and is starting to show the first signs of rust, is...
