patterns will vary according to individual
driving conditions. In the interests
of safety and...

BMW 'Goodwill' by
Paul Aspinall
Hi
I have put another post in the NG, asking about BMW warranties....
However, I am wondering what BMW's stance would be, if something went wrong
with the engine / gearbox on my 745Li, if it were not under warranty.
What would they do, with regards to 'Goodwill'??
I believe that an engine /...

M50 erratic idle by
Dan Buchan
525i 1991. This morning it started, idled too quickly (about 1000RPM or
just over, normally 600-700), and had a very jerky on-off throttle response.
It's done that before but not in the last year and it's never lasted all the
way to work before (20 miles).
Starting up 9 hours later it again idled...

My own car was in the body shop for some damages, so the insurance
company sprang for the X1 as my loaner. I was taken a little off-guard
by the engine auto-stop feature when you come to an idling situation,
like...

Person on budget: older BMW or newer Toyota, Nissan, Mazda...? by
Big A
Hi,
I'm an average Joe interested in buying a newer car. I have an '89 Volvo and
I was thinking of buying something a little more modern. For someone like
myself (looking for something of about $15K-$20K) would you recommend an
older BMW (eg. a '97 5-series with less than 40K miles) or a newer...

Hi,
The dashboard in my 97 E39 528 SE Auto has stopped working. That is
the dials dont move, the computer is blank. The only think that is on
is the current gear display. Additionally, the fan is not coming on

correcly.

Extended warranty by
Ian D
I have an '01 740i whose warranty period will expire in June '05. BMW wants
$3749 for an extra 2 years or 100K miles, whichever comes first. Sounds
fairly expensive to me, but wanted to know from the group if they feel its
worth it for this car and if there are known issues that will probably...

Robin S.
I was reading a newsletter from within the company I work for an noticed
that we make parts for the BMW 1 series. I've never heard of these cars -
indeed they are not shown on the North American websites.
Any idea if BMW plans to bring these things to North America?

Stupid design decisions by
dizzy
Sorry, but this needs to be said.
No oil dip stick: Maybe this would be okay, if it were not for the
fact that sensors seem to be BMW's weak spot. I know on my E46, the
oil-level sensor is a bit flakey, as is the washer-fluid sensor.
Pardon my language, but what the F$(% is one supposed to do if...
