  4. Just picked this baby up for $2900. Besides a window that needs a new motor

    Just a few shots of my new (to me) 2000 323i. It is fairly clean inside and out.

I am trying to get to the bottom

    A few times after I turned off my car after driving it, my yellow oil light would turn on and stay there for about a minute. I needed to change my oil around that time so I thought it lit up because it needed an oil change. Now about a month after my oil change, the oil light came on again after...

When I start the car from cold or after sitting maybe 10 mins from warm, the red oil pressure light stays illuminated after the engine starts for 3-4 seconds. I have a video which I may upload later. The oil light doesn't illuminate...

    Hey Guys - I have a 2000 323i - changed the oil the other day but might have a problem. When I start the car, the oil light comes on along with all the other lights as usual. Then, about 30 seconds later, it comes on again - not in red but in orange. It stays on in orange, anywhere from 8...

    Hi, I just saw a thread with someone wanting a general idea on how to replace your Oil Level Sensor. Here is my DIY on how to do it. I would say on a scale of 1 to 10, this was really easy to do. Maybe a level 2 just cause taking off the metal panel and then trying to re-install it by myself...
