I have a 2000 528i and the guy that owned the car before me was a complete fucking idiot to put it nicely. I'm sure this is stupid but when I took the door panel off there is a 2 wire plug just hanging there and after finding out the hard way in the Arizona sun that he used black rtv to glue the...

Afternoon folks, I have a E90 335i (turbo) that had the typical daisy chain of oil leaks from the revered N54 (oil fountain). Replaced front and rear mains, turbo oil lines, valve cover, and oil filter housing gaskets and seals etc. HOWEVER, it looks like there was still an oil leak from this...

Hi there, So i have a problem here that i really can't solve since i can't find this Cable.. The thing is, I switched seats from half Electric heated seats to full Electric heated seats with memory function and i can control the seats with INPA since i have K-CAN low and high connected to them...

Hello and thanks in advance. I recently picked up a high mileage '99 323i, also my first BMW. It has some transmission issues that lead me to believe the fluid is low. - Occasionally reverse goes out if i am parked on a slope for a while. - Occasionally kicks me out of 5th gear when I'm...

Hi, so someone tried to steal the car wheels. They took a jack underneath the car and pumped it up from where the oil drain plug is. So now I'm getting a slightly whirling noise only here n now, when I'm not accelerating and just rolling. Any help would be great as I'm worried it's damaged...

Dont know if this has already been discussed, but i think it deserves attention. Thought I would change out my sparks and coils on my new baby. F10 550i. N63. Seemed easy enough, studied the engine and although not many diy aids, found some goodies online. Changed coils and plugs before on...

Hi Guys. Im new. I have a 2003 745li, 130,xxx. Well taken care of. Im driving down the freeway and i notice a lot of smoke and my dash said "oil pressures low" and something about "brake moderately " or something like that. I pull over and my oil was leaking EVERYWHERE. All of it, was out...

Hey guys, I had SES light on intermittently. So I got my codes read from Autozone and got code P0302, cylinder #2 misfire. There seem to be two main causes: Spark Plugs or Ignition Coils. Since, I'm coming upto a 100k on my BMW, I'm going to replace all the spark plugs and see if the problem...

My 2000 528i seems to have a loose plug from the fan to the power source. I have called a few reputable, well-known mechanics in Denver and they seemed to think the problem was under the hood even after I told them the details, meaning that they will probably take a very long time to even find...

I just got my 2001 530i back from the dealer and it looks like I need all new coils, spark plugs, thermostat, oil pan gasket and a vanos high pressure line. I've looked around for all these parts and it comes out to about $350 - $450 (dealership wanted $2,000). However, I came across a few parts...

Hi, any suggestions on how to loosen the transmission fill plug? it will bot break free I have sprayed and thing and their grandmother on it but still as tight as a monkey's tail on a tree. I am afraid it force it for fear of breaking the plug.

I am planning on putting in an aftermarket alarm for my 1990 525i. I know my car has an alarm of some form, as the central locking was stuffing up earlier in its life and sometimes it would go off when unlocking the car. That is all fixed though, thank god. :p But now I am interested in the...

Hi guys, During the week I began to change over my spark plug wires/leads in my 1993 318i E36 (4 cylinder) and while I was doing it, I must have accidentally mixed one or two of them up and now the car won't start (obviously). I know the firing order of the engine, 1-3-4-2, running from the...

So my Radio has been out for some time so I bought a different OEM replacement. I have the Radio out of it's compartment but I will be damned if I can get the Plug out of the back. The Bentley Manual shows just prying up on an outside sleeve. It reads "On 1991 and later cars, disconnect the...

I just purchased a 1998 BMW 323i with only 85k miles on it. Anyways... I am needing a couple of parts and was wondering where I can pick them up online since all the salvage yards around me doesn't have much bimmer stuff. I am needing an antenna mast assembly, the interior front door plug that...

Ok so im about to change my oil, simple right? Wrong? I get underneath my 7 and i notice that the oil drain plug and the oil filter plug(the screw that holds the filter in place) are stripped. No wonder the oil service light is saying severely overdue. I got a foreign auto mechanic that can get...
