Hello all this may come off as an awkward question, but is there anyway to tell if the valves in the transmission and that whole mechtronic system were sabotaged? In that there would look, smell sound differently? Sounds like make believe or just too outrageous? I truly believe as we speak a...

2006 BMW X5 3.0i. Rear wiper motor literally broke into pieces presumably as a result of struggling against ice. No problems with the rear wiper motor leading up to this failure. Ordered a used rear wiper motor and installed it. Still doesn't work. Checked both fuses as good. There is power at...

Hi all! I am here for some urgent advise. YESTERDAY I bought a 2005 Z4 3.0i from a dealer "As is". I had it inspected by a BMW mechanic who said it was "mechanically sound and exceeds expectations". But, after 30 miles on the way home (!) the transmission malfunction light came on. Stopped the...

Hi all, just joined this forum so good to be in a place with like minded enthusiasts. I'm sure you're all pretty familiar with the lifter noise in the '06 3.0 and while I can make it go away if I drive it, my wife toots around town so it gets a bit embarrassing not to mention annoying. I've...

I bought my very 1st BMW. It is a 2003 X5 3.0i. Thanks! I am trying to pair my iPhone 5s. I have a face on the bottom left of the steering wheel and a phone button on the radio. No navigation system in the vehicle. There is a microphone on the right of the sunroof control panel headliner...

Since my DD, Acura 3.5 RL flagship vehicle has decided to swallow a little water in a recent swimming accident in heavy rains, leaving her no longer, that reliable Japanese tin can. I am now in the market for an SUV and want to get back to BMW. I miss my old '88 635csi, but need a enclosed...

I am trying to find a way to have my GPS plugged in all the time. I have read elsewhere that I could adapt the flashlight plug, but I don't think the 3.0i came with a flashlight. I have found a plug in the glove box with two wires (Orange and Purple) running out of the back. The plug itself had...
