I have just picked up a new 5 series BMW... i have just noticed that i can
hear the aircon or CD player motor... or somthing making a whirrring noise
behind the dash, as soon ias i get in the car... no keys in ignition rtc....
is this normal?

My e36 was just filled up at the petrol station and the guage shows just
over half full.  What's wrong?

Having just collected my first BMW - a 1991 E32 730i - I'm in need of an
owners handbook ... I really want to know how everything should work.
Does anyone know the best place to get one? I've already searched eBay
with no success. Can anyone tell me the ISBN number?

Does anyone have any experiences they can share regarding servicing the
mechanical top mechanism for this vehicle? Meaning if I need to repair it is
it something I can takel or should it be left to a mechanic?
Thanks

My current tyres are Uniroyal but i'm planning to change them soon. Can
anyone please recommend me a cheap but durable tyre for a 320i E36 model.
Thanks.

I know all Beemers have an "E" #, and I know mine's E36, but I don't know
all the others.
What's the 3 series after the 36 for instance?
Is there a list or a FAQ anybody can post?

I know hat this is a long shot as the phone is quite new, but I was
wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar to the following
problem:
I tried to pair my new handset to the car Bluetooth system and it was

OK, maybe I'm slow on the uptake. But I've only just realised the new
sixes have no dipstick! I'm GUESSING they just have an idiot light or
MID error message for low oil level. When that comes up I suppose you
either guess how much oil to add or add a fixed amount (say a litre).

Was the E34 series especially model 540i fitted with integrated Radio?
Thanks Jukka

Hello. Can anyone help me? The Air conditioning module in my e39 stopped
working. I´ve tried pressing the auto button, AC Button, every button! The
lights and display are all ok, but even in the maximum "power", i still get
no air out of the system. Any hints?

Can be in back/bottom pieces, but need the leather sewn by factory.
Hey, neurosis are expensive!

I have the Bentley manual and the Cruise Control Brain/Computer
component doesn't appear to go in my 1997 M3/4 where it's shown in the
manual. In fact the item in the position that is chalked down for the
cruise box is the rear window controller (discovered in a VERY funny

Okay, I thought this would be easy but apparently I'm a moron.  The manual
says to insert a screwdriver into the opening to remove the inner hook.  As
much as I try, I don't really see a hook.  I see a plastic piece over a
metal piece which I'm assuming is the "hook" mechanism ...

All,
I have a E39 540, currently fitted with Michelin Pilot Preceda tyres,
235 x 45 on the front and 255 x 40 on the rear - which I now need to
replace.

can anyone suggest a way of fixing my '00 523 touring(e39) of the
following problem....
basically it is very poor off the mark and lethargic to
drive...obviously the car should have power but it seems to be dead...
