anyone have a clue ?

The engine starts normally when cold and will start easily enough when
warm.  However, on a warm start the starter usually lets out a
shrieking noise while it is cranking over.  Bad bendix perhaps?
I'm not sure of the age of the starter and have owned the car for a

I have a 1995 318, didn't get a instruction manual when I bought it.
I'm maybe just stupid but I can't get the air conditioning to work, online

When I switch on what I think is the air con a load goes on the engine

Does anyone have any tips for tracing what is wrong with an airbag in my

Dear netters,
I have a 1999 BMW 323i.  I recently got the service check engine light
lit, and got the code and looked it up -- it says camshaft sensor is
having a problem.  I also took it to a local auto shop, and they also

Could anyone please help with the above question as i really want to
change the trans fluid asap thanks in advance :wink:

wife's 03 model, manual, 70K km, is stalling & chocking at low rev's.
Mostly when its first started. We are in Australia, mornings are not that
cold.
It becomes very dangerous, specially when you stalls at the intersection.

My 2003 325i won't start.  The last few times I started the
car it did have a kind of "choked" feel to it.  The battery seems
OK as the lights and stuff turn on fine.  When I turn the ignition
I here clicking, but no life in the engine.

Do you know when will  introduce the new 3 series?
Thanks

I'm having a hard time deciding.  I'm looking at 2000-2001's w/about
100K miles for $10-12K. Probably a Sport Pkg w/Steptronic.
I have a Z3 and my BMW-only mechanic says go w/the 530i, but my heart

The guy behind you doesn't have them... and he's talking on his cell phone
and fiddling with his radio at the same time.
I have a scratch on my rear bumper now.

This car originally had a double glazed rear window. The double glazed
replacement window is very expensive, so I am hoping that I can use the
single glazed window for E38 instead?
Can anyone tell me if this will be a problem?

Problem with cold starting. Hit or miss. If you miss it, car floods
and I have to wait for a while to have another go. If it kicks in, I
still have to wait a while for engine to warm up before I can drive
away otherwise the engine cuts off and of course the steering locks.
