In the last two weeks or so, my 1997 E36 has started to "wag it's tail."
From about 15-20 mph, the car wobbles...not very technical, I know, but

I've just bought a spare single button remote off ebay for my 1994 525 td . I

That's how much labor (at $130/hour) a local BMW dealer quoted me to replace
the gasket surrounding the windshield on an '02 530i.  Has anyone had this
done?  What in the world will they do for 8.5 hours???  I understand the
windshield has to come out for the gasket to be ...

My 2003 320ci has had the same problem since I bought the car (second-hand
with 12000 miles). Three BMW dealers have had a look at the problem, but

On accelerating, in any gear, I can hear a quiet rattle from the front of
