I find that on my BMW 318 (1999 ) that when it's cold I have difficulty
putting it into first or second gear.  After about 10 mins of driving the
gears are easy to engage.  I'm not sure if it could be the gear box oil or
something with the linkage.

I have a number of pleas for help!
1)  When I got this car, it didnt' have an owners manual,
so I have no idea what the fuse layout is. Is there any
place on-line where I can go that explains which fuses do

I have just released a FREE major upgrade to The Ultimate Fuel Logbook
& Mileage Spreadsheet, version 4.0. This represents the most
comprehensive and feature-rich upgrade to date.

I need to service the sunrrof on my E28, 1987/8 535i.  There is a small
plastic access plate but not enough of the mechanism shows to work on it.
How do I safely remove and reinstall the headliner to do the job?  I don't
see any hardware holding it, so maybe it's tucked under ...

Need some help and advice on fixing ABS problem.  My 1986 325es w/

I got my 523 99-model in July 2002. It then had 35 000 km on the counter.
The system indicating when I should have an oil change and/or service has
still not asked me to do anything - there are still two green lamps lighting
up when I start the car. Last June (at 44 000 km) I ...

I've just bought a 2001 car with both forward and read PDC.
Reading the blurb in the manual, it suggests that if there is a
problem with the system then a warning light will appear (can't
remember exact details).  Anyhow, I haven't received any such warning

I got my first Z3 1.9i (2001 - 24000 miles) couple of days ago and
have a question. It seems to me the steering wheel likes to follow the
road uneven surface (it steers by itself) and needs a bit of control
all the time. It also turns to one side sometimes when I break. It is

There was a string of posts on service info availability earlier this

I have  98 328i.   This is first BMW and I just got it so I'm not
familiar with car. Recently it has started running rough @ idle. It
