When I first start the car in the morning I have multiple failures in a
number of electrical systems ( windows, sunroof, windshield wipers, interior
lights, door locks).  However, after about 30 minutes of driving, everything
usually works. The windows work sporadically at first but ...

Im looking in to buying a 92 525i wit 129,000 miles on it. I was wandering if
its worth buying or is it just going to be a money pit at this point. Its a
sweet looking car but Ive never owned a bmw and am not sure what to expect as
far as engine live and overall longevity of the car ...

I am considering buying a BMW 3 series for my next vehicle. I have
never owned a 3 series, or any BMW vehicle, so I am doing a little bit
of research before I decide exactly what model and production year I
would like to buy. I have a few questions I would like ask this forum

Hi Z3 lovers ,
I have got your message load and clear ... !!!
Thanks
Al:

I have a 2002 325i with 120,000 miles. For a while now, the yellow oil
light will come on just after I start the car. It goes out after a
couple of seconds. It doesn't happen every time. It never goes on after
I've been driving; it's only sometimes after I have started it. The ...

Hey Folks,
I just had my automatic transmission replaced. At about 20-25 MPR
a loud vibration starts between the center console and the passenger seat.
At first I thought it was something in the passenger door, now I'm pretty

I think maybe a BMW is too much for me.  I liked driving it and the
rear wheel drive, but I just couldn't hack the constant breakdowns
they apparently have.  Transmissions...water pumps...window
motors...electronics?  I mean this is stuff Hyundai has apparently

Helped my son replace the brake pads (he did the labor), on a 1994 318 --  
the warning light is still on - would much appreciate guidance from this
fine group on what we need to do to make the light go off.. thanks and Happy
New Year.  Ralph Griffith

I apologize everyone but I'm baffled on what models/years have timing
chains and which ones have timing belts.
Specifically, does a 96/97/98 328i/328is have a chain or belt?
Also, it seems to me that there's no difference (except year) between

It amazes me that people are so suspect of BMW engineers. Hello,
higher output engines, tighter suspensions, and tank-like build will
always require a little more TLC than your everyday domestic POS. My
E39 has 67000 miles and absolutely no problems. In fact my only

Advice need:
BMW 525i 94 the rear driver side door will not open.  It does not seem
to have any connection to the lock from the outside or inside
handles.  The lock actuator is making a noise like it is working

I just bought a 1995 540.  I new it had suspension problem when I got.  I am
trying to find out what it will take to fix it.  Drives like a dream untill
about 50 mph then the stearing shakes badly; then comes out of it and is fine
above that range.  I think two owners ago the car ...

Hello all, anyone know where I could find a new or used rear door
panel for a e46 01 325xi, black? Over the holidays I ended up marking
up a few spots and its driving me crazy.

Hi, everyone.  I just bought a 1999 528i wagon that drove 2 hours home just
fine then 2nd day after 20 minutes when going up steep hill starting losing
power significantly.  Can only step on gas pedal 1/4 of the way or it runs
even worse.  Did make it up the hill but continued to ...

My previous car was a 1993 Honda Civic Si coupe, 1.6 L V-tek (variable
valve timing) engine with 125 hp.
I am thinking about buying a bmw 3-series, E30, E36 or E46 because I
want a vehicle that has better driving performance the my Civic Si.
