    Locked myself out of the BMW tonight. I was rushing to finish the work I was doing and left the keys in the trunk. Shut the trunk lid and walked to the front door to find it was locked. My mind wandered towards a large rock, while staring in fury at the locked door behind the glass window...

    I've been trying to get my door lock actuator to work properly since I've had this car. It will not unlock with the fob, but will lock. The locking pin thingy would get jammed when I used the key, and would barely unlock the car, resulting in the door jam getting caught a little when opening the...

    Another thread about the hard coolant pipes under intake. While removing the broken ends of the hard coolant pipes, a plastic piece fell off of the heater inlet pipe and into the cylinder head water jacket. While trying to remove the piece with long tweezers, I have pushed it farther in and it...

    Hi all, when my 330ci idles for about a minute it starts to go really rough and then starts misfiring, you can avoid it slipping into the misfire by holding revs at about 1k. So far I have replaced the following: MAF, intake boots, DISA valve, CCV diaphragm and hoses, Bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor...

    I do not know what is going on. I will attach a video of what the car does. I killed the car right after putting a new alternator in and had to jump it... when it jumped back up this is what I got... some sort of Limp Mode. Disa Valve or Throttle Position Sensor or something? I will list the...

    I have a 2001 325i with a GM5 module issue. I am wondering if I was to replace it with a new module, which I have to hand off a car of the same year, will that rectify it? Or does it need to be programmed. Any advice on this is much appreciated. It’s just a little niggle that needs to be sorted...

    Hey Guys, So i picked up a set of nice M3 seats a few weeks back, only thing wrong with them was the driver side seat lever was broken off. I ordered #52108267507 from ECS two weeks ago and it finally came yesterday. I used pliers to take off what was left of the broken handle and now it seems...

    E46 325i 2001 Centre console door lock switch doesn't work when the car is off or the key is in the accessory or on position. It only works when the car is running. Is this normal, if so how do you unlock the doors from the inside without the key?

    I've had this car for about a year now and it's time to finally figure out what is wrong with my heated seats. I've checked the fuses so far and they are fine. When touching the buttons on both sides the lights all flash once and that is it. Any ideas before I start blindly buying parts? Here...
