I have just bought 1973 2002 sight unseen.  Nice straight body, smokey
engine and really bad electrics.
First things first - there are blown and missing fuses.  Before I start
trying to work out what all the loose wires under the dash are, I want to

I had my freon recharged and my air conditioning system checked for
leaks last Friday.  There were no leaks and my freon level was very
low- since been fixed-  however, my air conditioning does not work- the
'blue light' is active and the idle speed changes when it is pushed.

Has anyone noticed that their  A/C sticker on an E36 (mine anyway) says
  1.82 - 0.05 lbs
Anyone know what these units mean? the low side should be around 30 PSI
shouldn't it?

I need help with my E39 wiper. I was driving along in the rain, when
suddenly the passenger side wiper on the windshield stopped completing
its cycle. In fact it only moved up about 3inches then stops so the
driver side one which seems to be working fine smacks into it

Hey there group.  I was wondering if anyone has any advice on catalytic
converters.  I've searched near and far for detailed information on
replacement parts and there is absolutely nothing.  As far as I can
tell I have three choices the BMW replacement part ($1100 ouch), the

HELP - I believe I've finally isolated my problem to the resistor assy
(blower only works on speed 4).  But where is this thing?  Passenger
side?  Drivers side?  It seems to vary from year to year and various
models.

Dear BMW experts,
I'm getting an unusual, almost creaky noise from around the driver's
door on my 2003 530. It's as though the door is not tightly anchored to
the frame of the car. The noise occurs when the frame flexes such as

I have a 1992 525i Touring (sorry, don't know the 'E' number).
When I unlock the doors the tailgate remains locked. The window part of
the tailgate opens OK but I can't expect the dog to jump in through
that!

Hi, would appreciate any help with this. The aircon in my 2000 E38 has
been weak (not cold enough) for over a year. My dealer once told me it
needed a new condenser, but when I tried to book the car in a couple of
months later they decided it just needed a re-gas, which they did.

Thanks, Mr. E36, my friend.  You've been very well maintained;
you been pampered like a baby, and driven by a gentleman.  You've
been a bit of a problem child, but I forgave you.  But now,
you're pressing your luck a bit.............you may find yourself

Further to my brake disc upgrade my new discs came but they don't look
much better than the ones that came off!

Anyone ever known these to be faulty ?
I bought my car freshly serviced November last year - 5 greenboxes (and
apprx 66000 miles).
Probably 2 months later, one went out. Now I expected the rate to be

I have been experiencing some overheating problems on my 94 318
convertable.  Last Thursday the reservoir next to the rad was replaced,
and everything was pressure checked so I thought I was good to go.
Over the weekend the car ran fine, however today while running to the

I'm looking for a used 700 series, probably a 2000 model. I think there
were two blue colors that year.
Does anyone know what the colors where? I think one was called Orient Blue
but I can't remember the other.

HELP!! I recently purchased this BMW with 248,000 miles on it and the
worst thing wrong with it is the sunroof only opens occasionally! Knock
on wood, I've never had it get stuck open, but I would like to be able
to get it open on the few nice summer days we have here in Minnesota!
