    Hello, I am currently trying to make the brake ducts from a c6 corvette fit on my 325ci. While the left side has fit nicely, the right side is not able to fit since the air con dryer is in the way. I am wondering if any of you are experienced in removing or modifying the aircon dryer so that...

After installing two new calipers, bleeding the lines and trying to drive around the block; I discovered the front driver side wheel...

    For some reason, don’t know what exactly, but the abs and traction control light stays on (325ci). I replaced the brake fluid and made sure that’s all good, but some times the lights go away, very rarely tho. It seems that the only time it’s ever been off is when it’s rained, probably...

    I bought my 2001 330xi last week and on my drive home after buying the vehicle my DSC and my red brake light turned on. I was using cruise control on the way home but after the lights turned on the cruise control doesn't work, but I don't know if this was related. I was just curious if anyone...

    I need to replace my brake booster on my 2004 330Ci. I bought it thinking I'd do it myself, but it's seemingly a more daunting task than I'd originally thought. Has anyone had a shop do this job? On my model it's buried under the electronics box, not in the drug bin. How many hours did they...

    Hello, During the process of doing the brakes and adding SS lines, it was discovered that the bubble flare on the hardline was not seating properly and causing a leak. SO I cut off the old flare, and used a flare tool to remake it. Since this is my first time ever doing so, naturally I didn't...

    Hello lads my car is a 2004 325i. Recently I have been some problem, such as, the brakes would occasionally fail. It works most of the time, but if I happens to brake really hard, it will lose brake after that, as in the pedal goes to the floor, and the brake light goes on. Then after a while...

    I’ll be driving my 2001 325i :excited:and all of the sudden it feels like the drivers side front wheel grabs for a second and then lets go. Then the yellow dash DSC and “Brake” light will come on and stay on until I shut the car off. They usually reset. Occasionally, when driving, the yellow...

    Recently bought a 325ci it's a 2001 117k on the clock. The brakes make a buzzing/vibrating sound which you feel through the brake pedal when at low speeds coming to a stop. Spoke to Halfords and they said could be the rotors being warped although im not convinced (pretty sure front pads need...

    I had my car garaged for some time while I was painting it. When I finished the job and drove the car after, the ABS, DSC, and (yellow) BRAKE lights all came on. These lights will come back on immediately if I disconnect the battery and start the car - they do not need the car to be moving to...
