I have an intermittent problem with my ABS, Brake and Hazard indicators
coming on, and the speedometer stops working.  I have a 2000 528i E39.

Hi All
I've got a 7 year old BMW 530d and it has developed an intermittent starting
issue. Normally, it will start with just a flick of the ignition, but now it

As you see in the topic. The car is a 94 and it still has the factory
radio installed in it, does anybody know of how i could do this?

I've got a 1985 745i turbo with the buffalo leather interior. It's in
pretty good shape (no tears, etc), is slightly soiled/spotted and on
the dry side. I've had Leatherique, Connely's Hide food and Lexol
recommended and wondering what experience is out there with this

my friends 1992 520i needed servicing so we did it as it was a cheap car.

and tried bridging 7/14/19 in the inspection socket wich clearly didnt
work.

The title says it all. When is the new M3 supposed to be out? I'm talking
about the Bangle/uglified model. I see either 2007 or 2008. Which one is it?
Is this supposed to be the E90?
I currently own a 2002 325i sedan (gonna be a big step up to an M3 LOL) and

Thinking of possibly buying one of these to use as a winter car. Am I
totally deranged, or should I run and buy it if it is in otherwise good
condition. The car has 260k km on it.

I have and love my  BMW 520i SE, 1998 Range.  I recently travelled to
Devon 260 miles away.  On the very last ten miles it started to
overheat when I got caught up in a traffic jam.  When the traffic
started flowing the temp dropped.  I arrived at the camp and called the

Hey everybody,
I have 1978 530i automatic. Lately it's been having some problems
changing gears. It seems to be stuck in first or second alot of the
time. I'll be driving really slow to accelerate, and it might take 5-10

I posted this question a while back but I thought another try might
solicit some input.  The air conditioning in my X5 has begun to blow
hot.  But, it is somewhat cool from the left driver vent by the driver
door (about 75 F after about 5 minutes after sitting in 98F outside

1999 UK E46. (328Ci)
Lately the Air Con has started taking much longer to cool down. Now it
just blows normal temp air even on coldest setting. Also there is a
different noise coming from the centre air vents, like a hissing noise

Quick question.  Does the M3 Evolution (E36) need 98 RON petrol or will it
be fine on 95 RON?
While I'm here I have a 1991 525iSE 24v  -  long MOT and drives but needs
new clutch (noisy release bearing)  -  and a couple of E21 323is  -  to make

Can someone tell me if the above is riveted onto the door. I have looked
at mine and think it is but i cannot drill the rivets out. I need to
replace the mechanism urgently but dont know how to get the old one off.
