I had the bluetooth option installed in my 530. I find that the only
reliable BT connection I get is when the phone is in the trunk. It
seems that the antena installed in the car does not work. I am going
back to the service dept to check it, and I was told that they find

Which current models provide the best overall vehicle for your buck?
Comfort, performance, reliability and the most important of all... least
upkeep necessary (ie. no crapping of parts, etc)...

I have an e36 M3 and a son who is about to turn 16. He wants to use
the car when he gets his driver's license, but I think I would be
irresponsible to allow him to drive such a car as a new and
inexperienced driver. However, I was thinking that if there were some

All BMW-heads should be thrilled that bangle has been kicked upstairs where
he will no longer have direct responsibility for BMW styling. Can I hear a
BIG "Amen"?
Bad news is that his protege takes over Bangle's job and there is no real

Hi all - I have a 1998 540i V8. I've only had it 6 weeks but in that time
both cats have failed (still subject to legal dispute). A week before cat
failure, BMW Dundee found that the thermostat (MAP thermostat?) and the
radiator both needed replacing. Could the thermostat have ...

Does anyone have a list of BMW approved oil?  I found this list but it is

My BMW is a 1999 323is (E36) with the M52 engine.

I\'ve got an E21 316 (bizzarely with a 1766cc M10 lump in it, as
fitted by bmw!!!)
Any one heard of this kind of thing happening???

I lose power in my 1985 520i bmw when the head lights are on... What is
causing this? I heard it may have something to do with the brake lining -
this light comes on occassionally when the lights are turned on - I have
no power with the headlights on though

My 2000 323Ci has 62000 miles on it.  I found out this weekend that
the occasional cluck coming from the rear of the car was the left
subframe mount banging around since it had been ripped from the
body.  The right mount is close behind it and would have also been

I have recently acquired a 535I. There are some quirks that I am
trying to understand.
1. Occasionally, the ABS indicator light goes on, indicating a fault
of some kind in the ABS system. If I re-start the car, the light goes

I bought a 1994 325ic in the US a few weeks ago and have to follow a
process importing it into Canada.  One of the things is it needs to
have Daytime Running Lights installed.  The place that does the
inspection was not really sure where to run them off of as he said the

I want to hook up an aftermarket car alarm to my 1996 E39.  Does anyone know
where I can get/buy wiring diagrams for my car?  I need to get at the
central locking and ignition systems.
Thanks :)

I'm considering my first BMW, a 325xi sedan, and was wondering what changes
are anticipated for 2005? What time of year does BMW generally release new
models?
Thanx,

My father-in-law is looking to finally part with his 78 635 CSI that
he brought over from Germany 20 years ago.  Unfortunately, I don't
have a garage in which to keep it nor the money for the upkeep.  He
has babied this car and it is in great, unrestored condition.  He has
