transmission whine which starts to occur about 5 Mins after starting to
drive the car - I guess when its started to warm up. Is ...

The heater fan recently started throbbing as if power was being

Just bought an 02 325, convert from Honda and Acura.  I have a lift and do
most of my own work, and was wondering if anyone has a good resource for

3-Series with built-in nav system.  I know for 2007 models, that would

My E36 has an interior mirror that darkens itself at night supposedly as an
anti dazzling feature.  How can I disable this so that I get some rear
vision back at night ?  Has anyone done this mod ?

I wondered, does the E90 Sat Nav DVD-ROM that shows 3D views work in

I recently had my E46 328i serviced.  Since then, when accelerating
from a stop, I hear a whooshing sound at about 10-20 km/h.  I didn't

In the process of repairing a leak, one of the injectors was damaged.
Since that one needs replacing, should all the injectors be replaced at
the same time? The car has 240K miles and AFAIK the fuel injectors have
never been replaced.  I'm on a budget as far as this car is ...

Just picked up a 2002 325C convertible that needs new tires.  Was
planning on replacing with the same Continental tires that came with
the car when new. After checking a couple of tire store feedback

When I turn off my 2002, 530I, a fan continues to run until it kills the
battery. It is the fan in the "hepa filter" area, on the fire wall. This is
