I have had this car for about a month. A very clean vehicle. I have maintenance records from the previous (2nd) owner. But I have noticed twice that when I have been accelerating, say going up a hill, pause, then re-accelerate, the transmission seems to lose track of where it is, and it feels...

Hello, This is my first post here, hopefully I posted under the right category. So a few months ago I got a BMW E46 320d Touring Automatic with 355k km (220k miles) for my 18th birthday. It ran fine for a couple of days then the turbo died, leading to a diesel runaway. The engine was totaled...

Its a 2000 E39 M5, all stock except a Turner Motorsport tune. I'm getting some pretty strange and random clutch feedback on my '00 M5. So on a normal day, the clutch grabs fine cold and hot with maybe some slight drag when shifting fast at WOT. Recently, it's been doing some weird stuff. One...

Hey festers, my car just keeps dying. :mad: Today I lost 1st gear in traffic. Reverse works and I'm assuming I have forward gears other than 1st. Is there anyway to modify the DME or valvebody assembly to force the car to start off in 2nd just to limp it until I get a G260? I have a 4HP22/M20B25...

Hello All, I just bought a 320i 2012 (no X-Drive) yesterday. I have been driving a Honda Accord V6 1999 for the last many years. For sure, it was a huge shift for me in terms of driving when i switched to BMW e.g. RWD vs FWD, V6 Vs V4. However, i am extremely annoyed as well as scared with...

Hey everyone, I'm just getting back into the swing of things and pulling my car out of storage. I have a 94 325i and I swapped the automatic transmission for a 95 328is manual transmission. It ran great for a few years, then the clutch (which already had many miles on it) gave out and I had...

:cry: I bought a new 550i Sport with navi, night sight, basically every option except something stupid I don't need BMW sells. I bought it in late Dec. I drive about 8 miles a day round trip to work and back. A couple of times (I.E. Less than 5) I have driven the car aggressive but not heavy...
