have a 95 automatic 740i, 135K no problem miles
recently noticed that it will whine and "sorta hang"
when the tach approaches number 2
have read that is somewhat common @ this mileage and with this car,

If the DSC light is on because of a steering angle sensor fault, and you
 replace or repair the sensor, should the light go off straight away,
or will it take some time/journeys, or does it absolutely need the fault
cleared by someone with a diagnostic computer?

I'm about to buy a 3 series BMW (318i SE Auto). This is a second hand
model and is a 2002 UK model. (The model just prior to the new angular
one).
I know these are generaly very sound cars. My friend has a similar

I recently had the pleasure of driving a BMW - it was the latest 320i -
awesome !!
I have now decided to go out and buy one for myself but looking at the 2007
323i which from what I can understand has the same body as the 320i but

I have a 99 328i sedan E46 manual. Just yesterday, I noticed the
radiator fan stayed on even after I had turned off the car. I know
there is a sensor watching temperatures and it is supposed to continue
to run for a while if needed, so I ignored it.

I have an intermittent check engine light, on my 1991 750iL. I have
the Bentley manual, that describes the connector location as beneath
the transmission. Is there any easier location to check the voltages
to the sensor heaters, and the sensor output?

Has anyone replaced a steering angle sensor?  It's a 540, 1998, but I
can't imagine other DSC-equipped E39s being much different.  My local
BMW specialist told me it was difficult, so difficult he didn't want to
do it and told me to go to the dealer!  But I had a look and it ...

I have been having intermittent problems with my check engine light and I am
coming up to NYState inspection with the light currently on.  I have had it
diagnosed in the past as an evap leak and have had the smoke test done to
the car only to find no leaks.  The dealership tells me ...

Just bought a '99 Z3 2.5 stick last Saturday and am lovin' it. Owner's
manual shopping on eBay as we speak (have you seen the prices for
them?!!) and am sittin' in the dark here...
If you experts could be so kind as to answer a couple questions for

I'm looking into getting a new 335i convertible (gotta love that hard-
top) and wondered if anyone out there had opinions on the Active
Steering option. I've read both good and bad reviews and would love
some input. For instance, I've heard that it takes a few months to

I'm planning to change the front rotors myself.
AZ BMW dealers charge $420 for the front pair (Inc tax and BMWCCA
discount).
bavauto charges $200 for a pair.

lets say 60k miles in very good mechanical and body condition ???

I know very little about BMWs, but a friend was told by her shop that
she needs to replace the lower control arms on her 2000 323 wagon/80k
miles.  She was quoted US$1300.  They told her this after she
experienced brake squeel after an expensive brake job.  Seems

Anyone know what the BMW policy is on paintwork ? My 17 month old 5 series
front bumper as started to loose the lacquer and looks a mess. I spoke to a
BMW bodyshop and they said it is only 12 months warranty on a bumper and
would cost £350+ to rectify ! .My last 5 series did 160 ...
