Just a simple question :)
My 1996 e34 520i SE Touring is my second e34 and I seem to recall the
1st one had the cold/hot thumbwheel on the upper centre dash fresh air
vent lit at night time.

Our 320i runs fine but I have suspected for a while that the mixture is
a bit rich. The exhaust smells quite strongly of fuel (noticable with
the windows down when stopped), even at the end of a long run. Also the
consumption is quite high, I estimate around 20mpg (imperial) on a

I have 1983 BMW 320i that runs hot in start and stop driving, I have
replaced the thermastat and flushed the Radiator. The car was sitting
for 7 years prior to me buying. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi.....316 wont start.
turns over fast. fires now and again but wont start.
The drum 'thing' under the car nearside in front of the rear tyre was
tapped....then it fired...ran...and stopped.

Whilst removing Stereo, the clock side (RHS) of my computer display

Does anyone knows for sure that 1997. 520i e39 engine block can be

chance of getting e34 520i block very cheap so I was wondering is ...

Wanted urgently:

cheers,

I just found out (by sending my vin number to BMW) that my 533i is grey
market, or not made for the US market.  Does that mean that my car is
actually different from the ones made for use here in North America?  Is
it worth more?  It is still quite peppy for an older car.  I may ...

Can anybody tell me if a manual gearbox from a 1989 730 wil fit the 1992 v12

My daughter's 1995 318i crapped out again. She said the idle was a little
erratic, then the car stalled. The car had been running for about half an
hour by that time, so it was at operating temperature and she had no problem
initially starting the car this morning. After the ...

 I'm trying to read the codes from an 87 325is but the trick of
depressing the throttle to the floor five times doesn't work. Is there
a different trick for this year vs my 89 325i? What switches should I
check as I'm thinking one or more isn't working. The TPS sensor has

Does anyone have a part # for that (there's actually 4 parts -- the cap, the
tray, two round caps & two spacers inside of it.
Thanks

Is there someplace I can download electrical diagrams for a 2000 BMW
323Ci? If not, what is the most cost effective way to get the
electrical diagrams? I don't want to spend a fortune on a shop manual.
