Sorry for the long post but if you manage to read the whole thing, just know that I appreciate you :) So the other day while I was driving, about a minute after I left where I was the yellow brake light and DSC light comes on. That had me concerned but not the basis for this post. About 30...

Hi. I just bought a 1999 bmw e46 320ci, and my temperature gauge is always sits in the middle even if the car is shut off. What could be the problem?

We all know the E46 cooling system can be a bit fragile, and overheating from a failure can cause irreversible engine damage. We also know that the gauge in the instrument cluster is not a regular gauge, with the needle pointing unwaveringly to 12 o'clock for the entire 75-115C range. Beyond...

I recently diagnosed a Fuel Sending Unit error after driving around with my fuel gauge on empty for a while. Driver side unit checked out, but the passenger side unit on the fuel pump was reading as bad. Since the pump has been working fine, I didn't want to have to replace it just because of...

Hi everybody, I found out that this whizzing sound comes from the current fuel consumption indicator and/or also from the other gauges in my combi. Because when putting T15 on/off this sound is also coming. I have found one video on youtube which shows it, you can hear it clearly at 15sec...

Hey everyone, Been noticing the past few days that my fuel gauge doesn't actually show that I am using any fuel, even though I am driving in excess of 120km per day. It initially settled at just above 1/2 a tank, I filled up the tank completely and now it shows full all the time, even after...

I have 2005 325i with 133k and for the last few months I've been trying to figure out a problem with the turn indicator on the gauge cluster. When I use the turn indicator stalk, the actual bulb on the outside(right or left) comes on and blinks as usual. But the blinking green arrow(or the...

Due to a sticking thermostat (sometimes too cold) I bought another online and replaced it. I put in a bit too much coolant, and about 5 miles down the road I'm in the red, so I kill the engine. A random homeless guy offered car advice, and then ripped open the radiator cap! A bunch of coolant...

Hello everyone, first post here! :hi: I have a twelve year old 325xi and with what appears to be a common problem - flickering oil pressure light at idle after driving in warm weather. Applying a bit of gas extinguishes it and it only appears in Drive (automatic transmission.) I went to a...

I've got a 2000 328Ci. While working on the car, which included replacing the gas cap, I had the radio on which drained the battery. I tried to start it but just got the flashing headlights. So after a jump, it started right up and I took it for a 30 minute drive to recharge the battery...

My beamer is overheating. I am learning how to do some things online but still need help--because the car still over heats. I replaced the water pump and got a new thermostat but the guy at a different car store told me after that it was not the right kind for my car. So I took out the...

Figured i'd post pics up for all those looking for a good method to install a wideband o2 sensor on a non-m. I purchased a magnaflow true-x part#10790 and mounted in directly after my headers. I mounted the wideband o2 bung directly in the center of the x pipe. Took about 2 hours to make it fit...
