When I was driving today a noise came from the steering (inside the car). It
was like a clicking noise, something catching. The only thing I can put it
down to is the steering lock some how?
has anyone else had this sort of problem?

It happened again this morning and this time when I pulled over to the
shoulder of the road and sat a moment...pulled out again...it
continued.
Noticed that there is a "throbbing" resistance as though a caliper may

I have a '96 328i which has air-con.
Basically, the air-con button doesn't seem to have any effect. On or off,

When I bought my slightly used 2000 BMW 528 a few months ago I was
told by the dealer that it had an alloy block. I had read that some
versions were also iron and really preferred an alloy block for weight
and less oil leaks. The service manager confirmed that it was an alloy

The trunk lid on my E39 520 sedan i slocked. When I push the opening button
I hear a kind of click sound, but the lid wont open. Is there any way to

I would like to upgrade my 325td (e36) to the 325tds version by placing the
intercooler of the TDS in the TD engine. Have someone experiences or a good
advies about it?

mechanical problems linked to that particular brand of gas. Well, I've been
running Citgo 93 octane pretty much exclusively in my ...

I own a 1988 E30 320i and im after some new alloys. My mate is selling some
TSW Razors 17 x7 and 205/40/17 yoko tyres. Will these fit my car? There are
so many companies saying different offsets etc for BMWs i haven't got a clue
what will fit any more.

Does anyone have information to share re RDC - the type pressure control
system? I have a 323SE which is loaded with this option (more by luck than
judgement - always liked the BMW, saw the model I liked and bought it....)
The warning light illuminates on the dash after a short ...

On my 2002 E46, with GPS and on-screen computer, there is a setting to sound
an alarm when the speed exceeds a certain user-input value.  Recently it is
clear that now the computer is reading my speed is 3mph under the speed
indicated on the dashboard/speedometer.    This was ...
