Could anyone suggest a reason why the auxiliary fan in my 2003 X5 keeps
running even after the engine and ignition are shut off? I presume it's the
auxiliary fan but don't know for sure. The fan noise is emanating from the
area where the cabin filter is installed under the hood ...

I read an article about a washer liquid warmer in some of the new Buick
Lucerne. My quick response was.... what a good idea. I noticed that
some of the luxurious GM car (Cadillac) also has this feature. I wonder
if this is really a good idea, especially if you live in a cold winter

Is there any chance that BMW will scrap its nav system for one that doesn't
look like a beta version of the Lexus system? The workflow logic of the nav
inputs is so idiotic, I can't believe BMW uses it. Also any chance that they
will scrap the idrive system for one that actually ...

Does anyone know of a reliable shop in the Boston
area?
I cannot find ratings on the web of local BMW repair
shops, and I am not satisfied with my dealer's work

hi can anyone recommend web sites for low cost bmw parts.

Has anyone had an engine go bad? I first heard a tapping noise. I
thought it sounded like a valve. My local dealer has inspected the
engine, spoke to BMW NA and Germany. They have agreed to replace the
engine. They boroscoped the engine and found damage in the block. I

Something very strange started happening with my 1999 E39 BMW 528IT:
- Occasionally the speedometer stops working (showing a speed of 0
mph), and of course this also messes up the MPG and MPH averages in the
on-board computer.

Was just reading the "Considering a BMW - A Few Questions" and I was
curious after seeing a few of the replies.
Over here in the UK you've got a choice of 2 types of unleaded "gas".

I went to test drive the 550i today and really liked it.  But
unfortunately it didn't have an auxiliary input for a portable audio
