Hi everyone. I noticed some recent posts about MPG and I am getting about
18.5 MPG city driving, thats with the A/C on a good deal of the time now
since summer is here. Highway driving is better of course. The touring
wagon is an auto with a recently rebuilt transmission, however ...

I am looking at purchasing either a 740I or 740IL from the model year 1995 -
2001.  I would love some feed back from those of you out there who either
own or have experience with these cars. I have some questions.
What should I know when looking for a used one?

Howdy,
It's my understanding that the '06 3 Series coupe is to be relabelled as
the 4 Series.  If so, will it retain the E90 designation?
For that matter, I'm uncertain of the designation for the current 5 Series,

Does anyone have a copy to sell of the Bentley manual for the 1994 530i?
 They are kind of expensive and maybe I can take one off your hands if

put a stock handle back on.  The BMW dealer doesn't sell just the handle -

Back in the day, I would put a "shift kit" in my GM automatic transmissions.
Different springs and such in the valve body would quicken and firm the
shifts. I'd like to do the same thing on my 2001 E46 330ci auto trans. The

I've got a hardtop for a Z3 with all mounting hardware attached to the top
but not the brackets for the body attachment.  It is currently attached to
the car by the two mounting bolts at the windshield. Any web sites, clubs,
or NC dealers, body business that can detemine and get ...

Other than a dealership, where can I purchase rubber floor mats with the BMW logo that the dealership carries.
I've checked www.bavauto.com  and  bmpdesign.com
Thanks!

This seems like a crazy question to ask -- but does an alarm come
standard on a 2002 330i?  I am under the impression that the red 'clown
