A more general question - but I do have a BMW!
Car in question (E60 three years old) - is it a good idea to have the
air conditioning recharged?

I cueently own a 95 E34, looking to purchase an 03 525 or 530 (sport)
I like the added power of the 530, but came accross a clean 525. Any
suggestions on how to chip-up the 525, and what HP that will net me?
Thx.

Anyone taken the tank out and found the filter and cleaned it (and
obviously reassembled!)? My washers are playing up. Mostly they only
squirt the water just above the wipers (this has only happened a week
or so ago) but then they worked ok for a couple of days, now they are

I have had an Alpina Roadster S Lux since new for almost 3 years now. It
has been an outstanding vehicle save for one minor problem. The Satnav

oil pipe and all I have to do is take he pipe off and clean it, replace
it and use a new clamp.
but here's the stupid question. Where is the turbo on the 1997 E36

I am old enough that while I never owned a BMW 2002 when they were actually
being made, like any good reader of Car and Driver reviews of the 2002, I
lusted after them a lot. Unfortunately, at the time I only had $3500 to

My daughter has a 2005 X5 and there is an annoying problem with the
head lights.  At a random time frame they will dip down for only a
