Is there a recommended lubricant for all the hinges on the convertible
top for a '93 BMW 325i?
Is WD40 ok or should I use more of an actual grease?
Thanks,

Hello everybody,

Hi I am thinking of getting a BMW 5 Series around a K Reg
(in the UK) is there anything I should look out for on these?
And is there any where I can get acurate MPG info for the 518 and 525?
Thanks

I'm getting intermittent hot air in the car. I've tried putting the temp
all the way up as well as running the defrost program. Doesn't put out
any heat, then all of a sudden it will work again.
Any suggestions where to start looking?

what would u say is the highest performance bmw on the market today?  I am
talking about top speed, power etc. Is it the M5?

car (top speed, 0-100km/h (0-60mph) etc)

Lost both RHS headlights last night, and I thought it would probably be the
dodgy solder joints on thge LKM (light control module). I've done a few of
these repairs before and it is a pretty easy job.

Anybody know how to lift the back seat of a '95 525 to get at a dead

Many thanks.

The clutch pedal on my 535is is sticking. After depressing it it does

car stays in gear and gear changes are possible, although, getting
into first and reverse is becoming more and more difficult.

I just bought a '89 735i and changed the oil. I have ordered a manual but it
has not arrived. How do you reset the dash oil change reminder indicator
lights? Thanks for any help in advance. wolf

A couple of days ago the (!) indicator came up on the instrument cluster in
a "blinking" manner.  Yesterday it bacame lit in a steady way while driving.

Suspecting of a leakage I inspected the parkin space at home to check if

Will a late model 5 series bumper (front and rear) fit an early model (say,
1002 fit a 1996) ??

Hi - My wife has a 2000 328i and I was wondering how much oil does it hold.
I looked in the manual but it does not list a quanity.

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this...my e60 (<2 month old) gives
out 'clacking noise' when in motion.  The noise only comes out when the car
is running over undulating road surfaces.  It's like the leather is rubbing
against each other.  I had thought the doors are loose ...
