I recently visited the UK and noticed a number of E39 police cars in
Westminster.  What's the idea with using these?  Are they reserved for

My E46 driver's side mirror is not defrosting, passenger side works fine.
Could the wiring connection be at fault or ???.  Of course, warranty does

My winter car, a '86 BMW E30, had wipers until one of the previous
owners removed them. The wiper motors and nozzles are still there but
not connected (see picture). I've thought about getting wipers and wiper ...

My 1994, E36 320i Coupe suddenly developed significant vibration in the
rear axle. (hear cries of - "I told you so..." )

Transmission fluid, how often should it be changed in a 740i?

I am having issues with arming / disarming my 330.
The dealership said that there is a BMW letter indicating that if I do not
drive more than 15 minutes, the key does not have time to charge.

Just pulled the code on my son's '96 318ti and it comes up P1174, which
is something like  "Fuel Trim Adaptation Malfunction"; whatever that is.
Seems to run fine, although overheating, which it's being shopped for
today.  Anyone have this error and figured out exactly what it ...

what company makes the best tuning chips in general (performance, idle,
price) in Europe?
It may be non-european chip also but somebody has to offer it in Europe.
So can Yoy give me companies or URLs?

My '00 323iT (US) is prewired for telephone. User's manual say's it is
