  2. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    This went from bad to worse: After sitting for about a month, I replaced the control arm and ball joints on the passenger side. The car started right up and drove straight. I noticed the IP was not lit up and the gages were all at 0. I stopped for gas. Then the car would crank but not start...

    I have desperately read every post on this website. My car has trouble starting when "warm." AKA my car starts on the first try only after I get gas and when I start my car for the first time of the day. My "Drive moderately" light is on, the DSC I believe. I just purchased this car with right...

    Hi All, Need some help please so I can correctly diagnose my crank to start issue. A few days ago, the car cranked for longer than usual on the way to the supermarket (2kms away). I assumed it's probably a battery issue because it's mid winter here in Victoria, Australia. On the way back from...

    So I recently decided to buy my first bmw, while browsing online I found A E90 2007 335i. This was a twin turbo one and the time had come for the turbos to be replaced and the kid who owned it started doing it but about after getting about 1/20th of the way decided it was to much work so I...
  14. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hey so I'll make this as simple as possible. Randomly my rad fan stopped kicking on so I did the normal trouble shooting protocol. I unplugged the ac pressure switch and the fan kicked on like magic but as soon as it was unplugged the car ran like poop for a few seconds, died, now I have a crank...

    2001 e39 BMW 540i V8 manual.

    (M54 2.5l 325i 04 automatic 220,000 miles) I took my car in to a "home mechanic" who stated I had bad catalytic converters and he said he replaced them. He replaced them because I was having issues I'm having now... which were/are severe power loss, stalling, low groaning sound when pressing...
