I have a 1981 320is with the 1.8L M10.  In 1980, BMW destroked this
engine from a 2.0L to a 1.8L.  The engine in my car is going to need a
rebuild and I was wondering how involved it would be to stroke the
engine back up to a 2.0L?  Is it just a matter of changing the

and other places as well ?//

does anyone know the average MPG for the 325 convertible 1996 model?
many thanks in advance,

I just got my first BMW. It's a 1999 528i. My question is should I be leery
of it since it has 168,000 miles on it? They are mainly Hiway miles as it
was owned by a car dealer as his personal car. the inside and out looks

Hello my name is Blake and I have come here because other BMW groups
seem to be more interested in making money.
My interests are in the older 6er's, M3's and M5's. Right now I have a

Hello all, first time poster here.  I'm considering leasing a BMW-5 series
and was hoping to pick the brains of those of you who own one of these cars.
Anyone drove both the new 525i and 530i's?  The 525i is really at the top of
my price range, but I'm curious if there's a major ...

I'd just like to know if this is typical of BMW dealers or am I being
too critical.
Bought the car new in April, 2004 (330i) and had a routine oil change
done in Oct. of 2004 (not covered by warranty and that's fine). When I

My E30 318iS with 185k normally ticks along nicely at 2.0 bar oil
pressure when cruising. Lately it's doing 2.5 bar, nearer 3.0 with
colder oil (Mobil 1). Car never sees town traffic and often gets to see
the fun side of 5k rpm ;-)

SIGH . . . .
Chewing gum on the leather seat.  
Any tips for clearing it off?

My 745 has its own SIM card.
Is there any way I can get it to use the SIM in my existing mobile, without
having to remove the SIM from my phone, and insert it in the car each time?
Thanks

The a/c fan on my 323i touring seem sto have a mind of it's own, does anyone
know what the problem might be?
FWIW I am in the UK and the car is a 1998
Many thanks in advance,

There is a lot of baloney and speculation posted about programming a new E46
master key, whether you can even get a master key, how much it costs, where
it comes from, etc.

Can anyone tell me absolutely definitively, without a shadow of a doubt,
whether an a/d/s P4100 will accept line level output from
a BMW head unit? I want to install one in my mid nineties BMW 325, while
retaining the stock head unit and I have been told that if I retain the
