Hey there, So I have a 2004 545i with 206k miles on it. The car has a few issues with abs and air bag, but the most annoying is that the AC is not working. The motor will blow but it is hot air. Hooked gauges up, no fluctuation, so I'm pretty sure the compressor isn't working. Pulled up INPA and...

Hey Bimmerfest. I've been lurking through forums for a long time now trying to find an answer to my problem but have not found anything definitive. Now, it's time to create an account and ask for your advice. The problem is the transmission goes into failsafe shortly after driving but then...

Broken water pump bolt 2005 Bmw 545i I was reinstalling my water pump on my 05 545i. During the process of tightening I snapped one of the long m6x100 bolt. Part of the broken bolt is about 1-2 inches into the hole. My bolt extractor is not long enough. Do anyone have any idea how I can remove...

Hi all so I just bought an 05 545i and the check engine light came on about an hour and a half after it was bought driving home. I scanned the codes I had a few others like an evap code and transmission issue I'm fixing. But the last 2 are P1057 and P1059. These seem to correspond to the...

I***8217;ve recently bought a 550i because I decided it***8217;s now or never to finally own a V8. For the wave-of-torque style acceleration, and for the noise, of course. And I***8217;m very dissappointed with both. (Regarding acceleration, I started a related thread months ago (the thread...

Happy long weekend, everyone! My 2004 545i with SMG transmission has been acting weird recently. The first sign of the problem was about three weeks ago, when I reached a complete stop while driving in D mode, D2 was engaged instead of D1. I didn't even notice this until the traffic started...

I'm in the market for a LCI E60, my first BMW. I'm from Hungary, my budget would cover anything, even a 550i but you can't really find one here. So, my first conception was a 535D because of the mpg (kmpg in my case) and torque but since I started looking deeper into E60s, people seem to think...
