I had a situation this morning.  I got gas and as I was leaving, the car
stalled as I was pulling out of the station.  I tried to crank it over,
and it just spins.  It wont turn over.  I suspected maybe the started
disengaged or maybe the coil wire got knocked out of place, but ...

I have a 1993 BMW 325i that never warms up when the weather gets cold
(35 degrees farenheit and under).  I am assuming that the thermostat is
stuck open and I would like to replace it myself (because I am cheap).
Unfortunately, I can't tell where it is!

 I go out to start my 95 E34 this morning and it turns over but won't start. I

I'm going to attempt my first oil change.  My mechanical
abilities will grow now that I'm out of warranty.
How do you get to the oil pan drain plug on a 2002 330xi?
I've heard people talk about a 2" x 3" access panel, but I

I have a BMW 325i 2002 4dr sedan. Right in front of the front wheels, there
are pieces of black plastic, somewhat soft plastic, that sort of form "in
front of the wheel mud flaps". This piece of plastic extends up the wheel
wells and covers them. From examination, there are at ...

I have a 2002 X5 (E53) with the 3 pin and 6 pin plugs in the rear side
compartment. Will the Alpine CHA-S634 mp3/CD changer work in that car?
Should I get the BMW mounting bracket since there isn't a CD changer
installed now?

I am after some advice.  I have got a 2000 323 Ci Coupe which has a factory
fitted sunroof that is no longer opening.  I have spoken to local BMW dealer
who has quoted $2000 for a replacement unit.
Seems a bit stiff.  Has anybody else has this problem.  Is there a cheaper

I tried a Treo 650 smartphone, after intalling the latest carkit update for
it, with a 2005 525i.  It worked flawlessly.  Of course I only used it for a

I have a strange problem:
Try to start the car with the key usually used, won't start. Put in our
backup key, starts fine. Turn car off, put backup key 30 feet away, come
back and can start car with first key. Turn off car, come back later

I have a '94 318i with drum brakes on the rear.
The other day I noticed a low pitch humming noise from the rear of the car,
I recognised this noise from a problem I had with the car earlier in the
year and it turned out to be the other wheel this time.

As my previous either didn't show or was too complicated...

I have a 1997 740iL (E38), and I was topping off the power steering
fluid (it was at the "low" marker line).  The vehicle does not have
self-leveling suspension.
I bought a Prestone Power Steering Fluid and put in about 5 oz. worth
