I've got a 1999 328i (without the sport suspension) in need of new
struts and springs. Can I put the components from a E46 M3 on my 328i?

Upgrading to Wife 1.0  Tech Support
Last year a friend of mine upgraded from Girlfriend 4.0 to Wife 1.0 and
found that it's a memory hog leaving few system resources for other
applications. He is also now noticing the Wife 1.0 is also spawning

The latest BMW M3 has received a new upgrade pack from the Japanese tuner Iding Power which instantly became a topic of discussion centered around its enormous rear wing. Although the M3 may require some additional rear axle downforce, the size of the rear wing is just a bit ...

528i bmw doors will not open

A neighbour and my brother have near identical 330T - both about '91.
And both have exhibited the same strange 'battery' fault. Refusing to
start - starter not even engaging - but a relay chattering and the
headlights flashing. A brief charge with a small charger and they then

ABS dash light used to blink occasionally when I would hit a nasty
bump. It started staying on for longer periods after hitting a deep
pothole. Now it stays on for quite a while- like half the time I'm
driving. I did replace the battery in the dash last year. Any ideas?

My brother has a 2001 330T which occasionally has a partially seized front
brake caliper - the disc gets very hot. But on checking after fighting to
remove the pads, the piston moves as normal as does the caliper on the
slides. He's had BMWs for several years and does pretty well ...

A friend is looking at a 2002 525D Touring auto with 118K on the clock.
Anything in particular to look out for? Any lurking horror stories?
The only thing he's mentioned is some inside edge tyre wear, but the
last service picked this up and mentions a worn track-rod end, and the

I've got a 1992 E36 320i, and last night it failed to start. It did this a
few times last year (it's been about 4 months since it last happened, 4
times in total now in 7 months) when I first had it and I'd thought I'd
rectified it, but it's not reproducible so I thought I'd ask ...
