I have a couple of humble suggestions for BMW I would like to see
implemented in the future. Is there an email address I could send them?
Thanks,

I seem to remember a poster named Joe Masokin (my apologies for incorrect
spelling) talking about how dismal sales for BMW's new designs was causing
revisions and also was expected to cause major redesigns.
Reading Bimmer Magazine last night I cam across this info, page 12, under

I'm looking at buying my first BMW.  The car has 45K miles and appears to be
in excellent condition.  Is there anything in particular I should look for
and what kind of  gas mileage should I expect?  What's the required octane
rating?  Thanks

I was recently quoted a price on a 2004 330ci with performance package
for 7.50% under MSRP.  I thought this was a pretty good deal as I did
not think dealers were willing to go that much below MSRP.  Is this
typical in other people's dealings?  The other odd thing is the dealer

recently the timing belt on my e34 525 88' broke and the engine is now
useless. I want to use this opportunity to give my car a little upgrade
by putting a 535 engine. However, I do not know if this is possible and
if the engine is compatible and whether i will have to do things ...

Anyone know if there is likely to be any further developments in the near
future? I'm playing with the idea of changing a 325 ci sport for an M3
convertable but don't want to jump them gun and get something thats likely
to be superceded in the next 2 years?

Finally, after waiting about 7 weeks, I'm picking up my car tomorrow.
Black on Black Leather, M Sport and some other package that gives me
power seats, upgraded stereo.
This will be one great weekend!

Love to hear from the few of you who might have both, or have gone through the
dilema of the 525/530 pricing decision...
I have a limited budget, I can spend about $45K...gotta have xenons, steptronic
(I commute a lot), and I guess leather or premium. I wish I could afford sport,

Hi, all.
As per subject line, what is the correct oil for a 2001 330dSE?
My local dealer says "they all take castrol SLX, sir", but refuses to be
drawn on whether there are different oil grades for the diesel and petrol

I'm trying to install a wireless remote to activate door locks on my '91
535I and need to access wires in the "underdash panel" on the driver's side.
I've removed the visible philips screws. one on the door side and 2
underneath. What else do I need to do to completely remove it?

My 6 month old 320d SE has been rear-ended by a 4x4 whilst I was stationary.
Although the repairs will be by a BMW main dealer bodyshop, there is a good
chance that the resale value will be affected however good the repair
(declaring accident damage).  Has anyone successfully ...

I have a 86 325e and the turn signals don't work.  I have replaced all of the fuses and bulbs in the car.  I also replaced the flasher fuse.  Is there anything else to check before I pay the price for the turn signal switch?  Thanks for your help.

There are yellow and red reflectors on the side of my 1988
BMW635CSI. At night the yellow reflectors also light up.
Are the red side reflectors supposed to light up too?

Thanks for the assistance guys!
Of course bigger engines have more torque than mine's 190 Nm... But, as our
fellow Dave Plowman wrote, since one way of getting more torque is to alter
valve timing, and since VANOS is about variable valve timing, I was

I'm completely new to the world of BMW but when my wife asked me to trade
my care for something larger I though about the 7 series.  I have a
brother-in-law who has been driving a 728 for longet than I care to
remember, so they obviously keep going.  I discissed them with the ...
