I have a BMW 335 diesel. It needs about a liter of engine oil. BMW is

I didn't know you could collect for the reduced market value of your car
after an accident repair, but the articles at www.claimsreporter.com say you

I cant find a arial sticking up, 94 525 touring, and i dont think its built
into the glass.

I am installing an aftermarket Alpine CD Player in a 95 740iL. I am

factory cassette player.
Which do I use to attach to the CD player? I have been all over the
