Got myself a 95' e34 a few weeks ago (UK) and love it to bits - prefer
it to my old 96' e39 !
Anyway the offside rear window doesn't seem to want to open (one
behind me!) It clicks from the 4 buttons at the front and the one on

I'm looking at an E30 that's extremely nice except for the faded, peeling paint,
like so many of them have.  It's one of the rare cars that may actually be worth
painting.  So what's the cost of a decent paint job in the Southeast?  By decent
I mean as good as original or close to ...

All,
There is a procedure using a huge pliers for checking balljoints.  This
procedure checks the movement in the joint in the vertical direction,

Bought the car recently and everything is lovely. Yesterday my wife
called and asked what I had done to the sunroof! Can anyone suggest a
fix - was working fine and has just stopped - nothing when I press/push
the switch.

A friend of mine has a 1998 328i auto.  Friday last week, he was towing a
caravan up a steep incline +-5km long in 3rd at 80km/h (3,500RPM).  When he
started the decent, the car was engulfed in smoke coming from the

I am looking at a 1995 525i that is for sale for $8000
Condition is excellent, car is fully loaded, and has 97K miles,
and at least on paper, this looks like a good deal.
Having driven only Toyotas all my life, can you shed light on

Anyone out there know how to shut the chick up who keeps kindly reminding
me that my subscription has expired? regardless of whether I turned thr
stereo off, she pops up again and constantly repeats herself!
I have(had) the oracle version.

I've finally figured out what the problem is with my newly bought '92
BMW 535. The air flow sensor is messed up. I removed it and measured the
resistance while opening the vane and it wasn't linear at all. Closed it
was 680 ohm, opened a little about 1100, almost fully open 110, ...

Does a 1990 325is auto have a LSD or open? non convertable.
It is a 4.10 but not sure if LSD or not.
Somebody once posted a list of all years of E30 and the gearing and if LSD
or not.

What types of things will be necessary to fix or replace on
an E36 when it hits 100,000 miles?  How about spark plugs,
shocks, rotors, pads, springs.......which parts have seen
almost their entire life and should be swapped out?

I have an 84 bmw 318 I've lost one taillight and my tag lights but no fuses
are blown any suggestions of where to look next would be great

Having just bought this car I thought the clutch pedal was a bit high & the
clutch had a lot of travel before the bite, making changes a bit awkward esp
if changing at high revs, I thought I would get used to it, but have not as
yet. Is there any way of adjusting the clutch or ...

A friend of mine owns these - BMW-520 - in NSW. Does anyone know what their
true value is? They must be sold with a registered car.

suppliers? Preferably in the Northwest UK
Any details appreciated.
Cheers
