Anyone thinking of replacing the (so called 'Lifetime') fluid in their ZF autobox in the near future, and want to go halves on a 20L drum of the correct Esso LT71141 fluid? I've managed to find a UK source who want £98 delivered. http://www.oil-store.co.uk/?path=add&opt=378 Cheers, JB

Hi, I recently purchased a 2003 model BMW330 convertible, and it has a satellite navigation system. How can I determine what model upgrade disk I need to get the latest maps? The disk in the sat nav system in the back is labelled "2003-2 BMW Digital Road Map GB/Ireland" and has part number...

HI all Never been here before. I got my first ever BMW about 4 weeks ago. Its a E34? 1991 520i. I have already done 1400 miles in it. Im after some links or general advice, i have never had such a modern car, i have always gone for 70's RWD cars, so i can change a plug etc, pads etc but PAS and...

Hartge did a 295mm front brake kit for their E30 H35, it's a four bolt setup. I have the chance to buy one, but the vendor THINKS it'll need 16" wheels. I'd prefer to run my 15" cross spokes. BMW E34 525i's run a 302mm disc and can take 15" alloys. So I think I may be OK. Any comments? I don't...

Hi, I have a 2003 model 330ci convertible (in the UK) and I have noticed a high pitched screeching sound when turning right at slow speeds. It only happens if the car is moving, i.e. if I just turn the steering wheel to the right whilst stationary, no noise occurs. At higher speeds, even a slight...

BMW M3 EVO 1996. The blower fan (heating and cooling) has lost speed. It still blows but at best at less than half speed. It happened a couple of weeks ago and since then has only once operated at normal speed. That happened out of nowhere. It just kicked in as I was driving and behaved normally...

I have no relation to this company but thought this may be of use to someone with a V12: We have 500 set of Ignition Wire Sets. Made by Beru in Germany for the follong BMW car models: BMW 750 series 1988-94 5.0L V12-4988cc BMW 850i series 1991-94 5.0L V12-4988cc All are new and packaged well.

Hi all, Just wanted to relate that I recently attended the 2-Day school at the Performance Center in Spartanburg and learned a LOT. After I hit my second deer in a year with the 328 I convinced myself that I needed to become a bit more comfortable with the vehicle at and beyond its limits. I've...

so I see the runaway driver has been arrested............he obviously could not keep quiet.

My 95 525i is approaching 100,000 miles and the shimmy is here. Ebay carries ads for thrust arms, bushings, etc. by a company called FCP Groton. The prices are unusually low compared to dealer and OEM numbers. Anybody tried any of these kits? I guess I'm worried that the bushings are cheap and...

Hi there my brake lights are stuck on. I can pull the pedal up with my foot and they come off again. I will adjust the light switch in there like in my manual, but is it possible that the brake pedal mechanism is sticky? Can I grease it? Any tricks?

2000 E39 w/37,000 miles. The fan for the climate control seems to be only working at one speed and a high one at that. The speed doesn't increase/decrease when I push the +/-. Any thoughts before I have to call the shop? Thank you

2001 740iL w/nav system - in radio/CD mode the "Select" button doesn't work, and sometimes all I get is a horizontal line on the screen. Anyone run into this and have some suggestions on what to do to fix it? Thx

I heard from several knowledgwable individuals on how to solve an irritating front end problem. Thanks to all who offered advice. I've been doing business with Bavarian for years , so I guess I'll see what they have to offer. Also, i did not know the center tie rod was a possible culprit. We'll...

Well, do I feel stoooooopid!!!!!! (530i Sport, 2001 UK) I subsequently noticed that the rear passenger fan (at rear of centre console) had its dial set to hot, hot, hot. Simply changing this seemed to solve my lil 'ole problem. Now the air in the driver and passenger footwells is coming out nice...

I just had an ipod adapter installed at the dealer on my stock hk head unit. Now when I shut off the car the radio keeps playing all night long!!! What's going on?
