1993. The right side light is not possible to turn ON. There is no voltage
to be measured on the fuse connected to the right hand side light. The left

I've searched on this but can only find vague references to possible crank
sensor failure from 2002 ...
Any more recent thoughts on this?

Anyone know where the diesel filter is located on a 2006 520d? I took all
the bottom panels off and I can't find it. Thanks in anticipation, Pete

It appears to come from the rear seatback or headrest right side
(opposite driver in US)
It's not a thump like a rear shock mount...and it's not a loose wheel

The driver's side "outside door handle" became totally inoperative
after I used the key to lock/unlock the car from the passenger's side
door.  Every thing else is working OK.
Any idea or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  I have a 2003 325i. It has 55k miles. She drives like the lady she was
built to be. I am worried because every once in a while when I hit a
large-ish bump or random unavoidable pothole a light flashes in the

What kind of spare wheel did the E30 use? My 1987 has a bottlecap
wheel, my 1991 has a compact spare and a friends' 1989 has a pressed
