    I hope someone can finally help me figure out this issue. It’s been since October that my car would not crank when cold outside but cranks first try when nice and warm outside. I’ve taken it to the dealership and they state that the issue doesn’t happen. Which is bullshit because the day after I...

    I have a 2003 bmw 525I wagon. I need help because at this point I’m tired of this issue. Right now the weather is at 35 degrees and my car won’t turn over. Once the weather warms up, the car starts up with no troubles. I’ve replaced fuses, I replaced the fuse in the trunk that’s related to the...

    I recently had to change out most to all of the hose for my coolant flow. And needed to take out my intake manifold to reach one of the hose, which led me to removing my Throttle Body, Fuel Line, etc. On the left side of the engine. When everything is reconnected I'm not getting any power when...

    Hello, I'm E60 528i owner in korea (As far as I know, it says 525i in the U.S.) It was made in 2010. I tried to update the cic to c1a for combox installation. I used winkfp comfort mode, and I made a mistake in the middle. I should have put in the VIN number, but I didn't put it in by...

    Fellow E39ers, my 01’ 525i is having issues on start up. It drove fine yesterday, but this morning when I went to start it up it rough idled then stalled, and it repeats this same process after every attempt to start it up. Some idles may last longer than others but inevitably dies regardless...

    My entire sunroof system is pretty much garbage, so I would like to replace it, but one of the cassettes i found online to buy was from a Wagon, and I have a sedan. Is it the same sunroof? Or is it different between the models?

    I’ve posted a couple of things about my 2001 525i and wanted to start getting into tracing back to whatever electrical issue I’m having. After sitting for about a couple days with a new battery and alternator it’s completely dead which definitely tells me something is drawing power. My service...

    I recently got a BMW e39 525i. I was wondering if it is worth modifying, or just leave it the way it is? I don't care as much as high performance goes, because I know it's slow, but I would love to modify the cosmetics with some wheels and suspension. Just trying to get some advice.

    I currently live in the UAE and I bought a used 2009 525i, that appeared to be in great shape, however after having it a couple months and having some work done on it, I am starting to have a few problems. The single biggest thing is rough idle after a cold start. My code reader flags a P0155...
