This is an observation I've made recently, on a cold morning (~5-10°c) engine warms up and stops at about 103°C, no other discernable changes to engine operation. Throwing no codes. After the car has been shut off and then restarted the cooling system warms to maintain 95-98°C like a champion...

My XI-backed Joyride Yesterday NYC got hit with an enormous snow storm, and our “beloved” mayor decided to abandon any snow removing efforts until the storm is over the following day. Let's just say that while other sedans were either hopelessly stuck or moving along at a snail's pace, I was...

Hello, I am having an issue with my 2004 BMW 3 25 Ci. I was away for a few weeks and left the vehicle outside in the brutal Canadian winter. When I got back, I started the car and it started normally. However, the engine seems to be revving on its own in idle and when i press the gas, nothing...

Just bought a 2003 330CiC with all the toys, and the navigation is a little strangely behaved. It can take between 15 and about 40 minutes to start up when the weather is below 50 degrees (f). The blank screen flickers a bit, but displays nothing. Radio works fine and unit is responsive to...
