  11. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    I recently brought my X5 35d to the dealer after the radio started making a loud, static notice for a minute and then stopped working altogether. Every audio function (Radio/CD/Navi/Telephone/Warning Sounds) ceased to function. The vehicle is still under warranty, so I figured it would get...

    Greetings! I have been working on my car for 3 years and have run into many problems. I finally got the car to run today, but am pretty certain it has a short somewhere based on some arc I saw when attaching the battery terminal while the key was off. My question? Why is my Driver Door...

    I replaced the performance chip on my 1994 325i E36. All seemed to go well, until putting the DME back into place. That's when I touched to DME housing to the positive battery lead and threw a spark! I know, always disconnect the battery. I will never ever forget again. But now what? A...
