I can usually sus things out for myself, but this has me stumped. My problem is removing the black grilles alongside the fog lights, to get at the upward facing bolts holding the bumper. According to an article in a roadfly.org forum, once the pin fasteners have

| E39 540i | 21 Aug 2006 13:53 GMT | 16 |
I'm thinking of getting a 540, probably a Touring. What sort of things should I look out for? I've seen mention of pre- and post-facelift models, piston ring modifications re excessive oil burning. Obviously the earlier cars are cheaper. I will probably go for an automatic. Are ...

I'll be looking at an 1996 M3 with 152k miles in the next few days with an eye toward purchasing it. My question is, is it worth buying a car with this many miles? I currently own a 1987 535i with 187k so I'm no stranger to old cars with high

I have an 85 325e, when accelerating the car seems to accelerate sluggishly. I push the pedal all the way to the floor and some times it will accelerate ok. I thought maybe gas. I changed the fuel filter and the spark plugs. No

1996 EVO M3 UK 118,000 miles. Normally, when the door is shut, the glass window raises a little to effect the airlcok and when the door opens, it lowers itself an inch or so. This is for airtight locking of doors, I presume.

While driving to the store today, I noticed steam coming from under my hood. I looked at the temp gage and everything seemed normal. When I parked at the store I popped the hood and almost fell over from what I saw! The upper inlet pipe to the radiator had broken off and the ...

| Brakes too good. | 18 Aug 2006 17:25 GMT | 50 |
Just aquired an E39 to replace my E34. One difference that is immediately apparent, is the lightness of the brakes. So little pressure is required to brake, that unless I brace myself with my left foot, I slide forward in the seat. This, for just normal slowing down

Is BMW coming out with a true manual transmission in the 2007 M5? Some magazines say so, but dealers people say they have not heard that this going to happen. Has anyone heard if it is really happening and if so when will they be available?

Doing a clutch job on my '86 535i within the next week. Seems the throwout/release bearing is making noise intermittently when the clutch is disengaged. I bled the clutch system to no avail. The sounds are similar to gears on the very edge of disengagement. When the clutch is
