  2. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    I've seen others talking about this they usually have the "BRAKE" light, but I don't have that so I figured that this would be kind of the same. Could it just be an ABS Sensor that's out or should I try to change some of the ABS sensors I think are broken? I also have this problem: When I...

    I get it. I get the appeal. I get why people lust over these cars. I get what makes these better than average luxury car brands like Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac ect. Yes, the cost of repairs and maintenance are way more costly than my Altima. Yes, insurance is double what my Altima is for the same...

    Hi, I've got a problem recently with my BMW e46 320d automatic.

    Quoted approximately ~$1350 at dealer for only rear replacement of pad and rotors. Is this an appropriate price or should I look to the an independent shop? Rear pads are worn to 4mm and front are at 7mm. Rear rotors 'worn to an edge'.

    Originally I had an intermittent problem with this. But now the ABS, BRAKE, 4x4 LEDs seem to be on permanently and the speedometer in the dash is not moving at all. However when I hook up the OBD2 scanner it reads my speed just fine. Prior to the error lights being on all the time I used to be...
