to do.
I grabbed it; went to hte garage, and used it to start the car -- and drove off.
luckily; I also brought the master key -- becuase the key fit, but did not turn

I have a 99 M3 (E36), and the check engine light won't go away.  The BMW
dealer has replaced the oxygen sensor, gas cap, and done a tune-up on one
visit.  The light came back on in a few days.  After that the computer was
reset, but again the light came on in a few days.   I got ...

My 535i is low on oil and I am in the UK on a Sunday with only local
filling stations open. I am running Mobil 1 which I doubt I can buy
locally in the UK so can anybody suggest what I might buy from a
supermarket filling station to top up please?

I've got a 2001 (3246cc, 325bhp) M roadster. When changing gear or
approaching a junction when the clutch is depressed the engine rpm
sometimes drops below 500 then returns back up to the normal idle
speed.  Also when accelerating it can very occasionaly have a flat spot

OK, I know that's an oxymoron, but we're in Crawley, West Sussex and are
finding it very pricey to get our local dealer to maintain or S-reg
5-series.  I mean, £86 to replace a lightbulb?  It sounds like one of those
"How many .... " jokes, doesn't it?

Hello I have a 2002 330ci with the HK system.
I am wanting to replace JUST the factory HK head unit with a Alpine
unit.
Does anyone know if this is a simple "plug and play" proceedure?

According to the dealer, i have a loose front right control arm. Is this

With my lease ending in late March, I decided no more automatic trans
for me.  I've been learning how to drive stick and I'm getting pretty
good at it.  Hills are still a bit tricky for me, but i'm getting the

The E34 tourer I have has the same problem with both rear windows, the
electric motors don't seem to have enough 'go' to close the windows.

My Toyota SUV has such a button that will allow the car to start without
depressing the clutch.  Among other things, that allows you to start if the

any mechanism to start the car without depressing the ...

the road and doing some damage to the passenger side of my 1995 BMW 740i.  I

Hi all...
2nd post from a newbie here. I got good advice here for my last
question, so I'd like to ask everyone's advice for what brand/type of
motor oil I should use. I have a '91 318is with 180k miles in the Texas

I disconnected my battery on my '97 BMW 318ti, it asked for a code in order
to work my radio after that. I forgot the code so I entered a bunch of
different numbers before finding the right code. When I found and entered
the right code the radio still won't work. I tried ...
