gauges stop working and my power windows stop also - but then sometimes
everything will work again - my mechanic can not find the ...

My 80,000-mile 1999 523 auto has been making a speed-related wah-wah-wah
sound that's been slowly developing over the last year or so. I've had it

Just bought a 2003 BMW M3 and have found oil and a filter for the

reversed the cables when jumpstarting the car (the red wire is
negative on my car).  Immediately afterwards, the ABS light came on,
and it still stays on.  No flickering.  Solid, uninterrupted, light.

I have a problem with the remote in my key. It seems to open the door with
the help of the key when it feels like doing so. Sometimes it works all day
long and sometimes it stops working for a week. When I enter the car and put
the key inside the ignition, the central lock, ...
