| Dead cilinder coil - the engine struggles to work under 2000 RPM... | 07 Dec 2004 17:33 GMT | 4 |
Hello! I was just wondering if any of you guys had this same problem... I have an 1999 E39 520i and this is the second time this malfunction happens: one of the 6 cilinder coils that controls the variable valve timming is "dead"... the engine struggles to work under 2000 RPM. And on

| E30 service indicator light small circuit board. | 07 Dec 2004 11:39 GMT | 5 |
Hey. My '88 318i is missing the small board with the LEDs for the service indicator display, it still has the larger board that takes up the length of the instrument cluster. Does anyone have photos of this with enough detail to make a cheap replacement?

| M50 broken timing chain woes | 07 Dec 2004 11:34 GMT | 9 |
My techie's 93 525iX ground to a halt earlier today. Starter spins the engine really fast and our first guess is a broken timing chain, had that backed up by my mate's BMW independent mechanic. I've never heard of an M50 breaking a chain before, it's only done 117k

Just received a ticket over the weekend for failing to stop (a rolling stop) at a stop sign. Will be pleading not guilty and fighting the ticket in traffic court. Question, has anyone ever used X-Copper as a service? Is it worth the $300 CDN? Any idea if this is a charge that is ...

| Cold weather | 06 Dec 2004 23:33 GMT | 8 |
We recently had a few cold mornings near freezing in Southern California. Since my car is garaged, the temp. registered 50F when I got in. As I drove a few blocks, it fell to 34-36F. When it fell through 37, a warning light and bell came on to tell me it was cold outside. Is this ...

| Auto tranny noise | 06 Dec 2004 22:42 GMT | 3 |
My 98 740iL recently developed a rattling noise when the car is put in either drive or reverse. When in park or neutral, it is quiet. I'm familiar with manual transmissions. Usually on those it would be the throw out bearing in the clutch assembly that would cause this type of ...

I had a problem with very erratic idling speeds on my BMW 518. Idling speeds would surge up and down from about 1200 to 1600 for no apparent reason and the engine also had a tendency to cut out. With a little help from some people here and an expert we came to the conclusion

| replaced thermostat - still cold | 06 Dec 2004 12:42 GMT | 5 |
I replaced the thermostat on my 1990 520i m20, (and flushed & changed the coolant while I was at it) because the temp. guage was remaining in the blue zone. Now it hits the 1/4 mark & stays there, unless I'm sitting in traffic in which case it may go up between 1/4 & 1/2. It also ...

| Time to closed loop temp too long? (E36 328i) | 05 Dec 2004 23:58 GMT | 8 |
I've started getting the "check engine" light on my '96 E36 328i, and using a Peake diagnostic took, I've discovered that the "Time to closed loop temperature is too long". My best guess is that the car isn't warming up quickly enough, so I've let it idle a bit longer on
