Hi, I have E46 330D (2000) and since about a month ago I've been getting a judder when engaging the clutch from standing. It seems more noticable when the car is being driven from cold or negotiating a parking space in first gear etc. The clutch is not slipping and the car has done 88,000...

Thanks.

What is the best avialable price for an X5 3.0i Sport Auto fully loaded? Looking to buy one and wanted to know how to get the beast deal out from the dealers on a new car. Thanks for your help in advance.

I noticed today that my digital clock and temp guage have stopped working--there is no illumination on the read out whatsoever. All of the other illumiated buttons on dash work fine--how can I get it back--by the way it started dimming first for few days before it went out completely. I think I...

Hello All, I have two questions for those who own or those who know. 1. I have noticed two different GPS displays in the 2001 model year.

These guys (mostly private parties) were trying to get upwards of $25,000 (some, a lot upwards) for a...
