I just got a great '03 E39 to replace my totalled '97 E39. The dealership I got it from was out of state so they put a temporary license plate (paper) in the rear window. It came with strips of sticky tape at top and bottom. Just got my real tags and tried to take off the temp plate, but the...

I picked up a 1885 525i, 140K miles on it, and always serviced at Dinan. The car is in perfect running order. I'm wondering how many miles I might expect on this engine? If you are an owner of a 1995 525i, or older car, how many miles do you have on your car? Thanks Scott

I am thinking about 96-97 E36, either 325i or 328i or maybe even the 5 series. with M50/5-speed Questions, what are some common issues that occur? Do they still have problems with electronics and coils like the late 80's early 90's? How about AC, does it work well?

It would be great if someone could advise the potential cause of the below behavior. The engine when still cold gives a nice acceleration feeling when changing from 1st to 2nd gear at 1500rpm. The MPG indicator stays above 20. When the engine at normal temperature (temp needle in the middle)...

I just ordered new brakes, rotos, brake sensors for my 98 528I ....I started with to change the rotors with the psgr side front wheel...to my disbelief, the brake sensor assembly is missing all together. I thought someone did cut off all together which is not the case. the entire assembly is...

I have a 1998 740i - a great car in all respects except the AC. It has always seemed borderline to me. But, it was adequate until recently. The dealer put in 1/2 pound of coolant and told me that the AC was performing up to new car specifications. I don't buy it - something is not up to snuff. Any...

Here's my story: The alternator on my 2001 325Xi (E46) died while on the road, and the battery couldn't keep the engine running long enough to get to a repair shop. Had it towed to the dealer for repairs. (dealership is just a mile from home... convenient.) The BMW Service Advisor called the next...

Any one out there know the tyre pressures for a 1995 Subaru Justy RS 4WD tyre size 155x12 Thanks.......

I've got a 1990 BMW 325i convertible that I bought about a month ago.. Brake fluid light came on a couple of weeks ago so I put some brake fluid in. Today the light came on again. So I put some more in. Drove about five miles and had brake fluid on the carpet on the driver's side. How did this...

i have a 116i 55 plate. company car so hence the engine. i have come across chips for literally just a couple of £'s on ebay that say they can increase power and performance. does anyone know how reliable these really are? regards

92 735i E32 In my continuing saga of battery drain; I've gotten conflicting information (not strange really; considering all the places I've sought info) Here's what I know: I have a drain, when adding up the mA's across fuses; about a 170ma drain. If Idrive the car, then stop; the battery has...

My 1987 BMW fuel piping is getting rather corroded, and is now leaking just after the fuel filter. I would like to replace the whole length from the filter (at back of car) through to the the Injection system at the front. I assume there must be an acceptable DIY way to do this with some type...

Hello, i've a four year old 318 and i appear to be getting about 20 mpg.I'm only driving the three miles to work amd back each really,but shouldn't i be getting better than 20? Regards

1990 525i with 243,000 miles Problem: - Auto-transmission died/fried/dead - I mentioned louder than normal noise from engine and mechanic said the manifold gaskets are blown and there might be a hairline crack in the block but the engine runs fine - interior headliner starting to come down in...

Wife and I are considering buying a new 530i. We've scanned both KBB & Edmunds, and it appears purchase price points are generally $1K - $1.5K below MSRP. Is that typical with BMW? My previous experience with buying US domestic vehicles put us generally at dealer invoice or below. Understood,...

Just wonder how much do you make when you bought your New BMW. Please exclude yourself, if your payment is from your parants.

I have a 1963 Chevy II Nova wagon. 194 inline 6. Today I was offered an M-52 and wiring harness, running for 200 bucks. Anyone have any idea how possible it would be? I realize I would need an ECM and various sensors along with a transmission but is it feasable?

A while back I got a boat-load of sh*t for asking just how wide a rear tire I can put on this car. Things like "why would you do that?", "It didn't come stock like that", "stop asking that question". and more. All I wanted was a yes, that will work, or no it won't. Anyway, I just installed...
