Hello once again, I've noticed this problem since I got the car, but since the weather is actually nice today it is getting to be really annoying. When I turn the key to the on position, the one after accessory, the climate control turns on and the fan goes to the last speed I left it at when I...

Hello! So a couple months back my car started making a noise like an angry whale every time I cut the wheel too hard. I figured it was a power steering leak; easy fix, right? Wrong!! I can't figure the darn thing out. I trimmed the lines leading to the reservoir and replaced the hose clamps...

Hey Folks, I have a 2001 325Xi Wagon. Needs new front brakes and rotors. I've been using ATE Power Discs for years and would like to get them again. I understand they changed the name to "ATE Premium One." When I search for rotors for this car anywhere that sells ATE, all I see is "ATE Coated."...

I recently purchased a 2005 325XI. love the car, hate the fact that the original purchaser cheaped out and went with the manual, leatherette seats. At least they dont feel like leather anyway. About the only good thing about them is they are heated. years ago i owned a new 2004 with the real...

Hi All- I have a 2002 330XI that is presenting some locking gremlins that I could use some help with. This problem was intermittent and now seems permanent. I have 2 keys and the symptoms are the same with both keys so I don't think its a key battery issue but my knowledge in this area is...

Hi Everyone, my power lock system is slowly dying. Yesterday I could not unlock the doors by remote, or with internal button. But I can lock with remote and internal button. I tested both keys, and it does the same thing. I have to open the door manually with key, and that only unlocks the...

My car (2001 330ci) has been acting up occasionally for the past several months. It will basically go into (what I think is) limp mode. It just doesn't have nearly as much power, almost like not all the cylinders are firing although it still runs smooth. The service engine light came on about...
