BMW 3.0 liter diesel: any good? by

Please share your good and bad experiences about the 3.0 liter diesel as

don't want to do a mistake.
Thanks for replying

When did BMW's get sports mode? by
really real
I sat in my cousin's 2010 381 Sports Wagon today and was amazed to see
that it doesn't have sports mode. When did sports mode start?
I suppose her 381 drives more sportingly than my wife's new 381 Sports
Wagon drives in comfort mode. I know the older steering feels more
precise, so I wonder...

On my way to work this morning about 6:15 am. Still dark outside, a
car with no lights moves abruptly into my lane w/o signals. I slow
down. Suddenly his trunk pops open and junk and/or paper garbage
starts flying out into my lane. I then decide to get around this
idiot. I blow by him in a...

NASCAR Question by
tech27
As a fan of motorsports, I occasionally watch NASCAR, although I much prefer
F1. I often make the analogy that F1 is to Nascar as chess is to checkers.

While the F1 cars seem to be deftly piloted around the course, NAS-cars look
like the are being driven by wild teenagers just trying to...

I am about to buy a 1991 BMW 535i (in Canada) that has 345000 km and a
leak in the air intake manifold as well as an engine oil leak. Price

Questions, questions, questions by
Vernon Balbert
Okay, I've read about SMG and know that it stands for Sequential Manual
Gearshift (or so I've read) but what exactly IS SMG?
Also, why is it that in the 7 series if the engine is a 4 liter or less
it's called the 7xxiL but if the engine is 4.5 liters or bigger it's
called the 7xxLi?

to buy a 2005 for the following reason.
+improved reliabilty due end of life cycle
-first year production models are notorious for glitches/recalls
-negotiating below MSRP will be impossible on the 2006. ( or it may
have discounts...

Brand new here looking for advice where/how to sell 88 BMW weinherited. by
Doug Chadduck
I'm in CA, Bay Area. We inherited an 88 328i in remarkably good shape.
We want to sell it but not quite sure where to start. It's not an old
POS and we don't want to just give it away. I figure on hitting area
dealers to see it they have any boards to post on. Maybe Craigs list but
I hear a lot...

car alarm problems by
really real
My wife's three month old BMW 3281 sports touring had it's car alarm
going off this morning. It would stop and start again. We tried
locking/unlocking, and then driving it and stopping. Eventually it stopped.
How hard is it to disconnect an alarm system, or at least just the noisy
part of it?

Even though well maintained and only driven by me (and still looks
great),
I have to conclude the car has been.let's say, a bit of a POS....list
of electrical
ailments a mile long, total transmission failure at 86000 miles, and
more electrical problems. By FAR, the most problematic pain in
the ass...

BMW-525I - oil change frequency by

Folks,
I got 15k miles oil change upto 30K from the dealer and then got an

cracked head....ouch! by
Antonio Garcia
Got a 1990 325i (E30/M20) that was overheating, but with no apparent
pressure loss in the cooling system and no obvious leaks. Took it to H&B
