This morning, I sent my brother to go grab spark plugs for our 2004 325xi. We swapped them following a tutorial step by step (I've also done the same procedure on another E46 with no problems) Long story short turns out we didn't have the correct plugs. What made me realize this was the fact...

I just wanted to know what everyone's opinion of my situation regarding repairs is. 1. I have a coolant leak so I plan on a cooling system overhaul. Already replaced et but have a radiator crack. What all should I buy? 2. When I got my pads and calipers changed last week the guy broke the...

I have a 2000 328i Titan Silver. The other day I did an oil change, and followed the Bently's to a T. While I was driving home the Service Engine Soon Light came on. I pulled the code reader (BavAuto) out and let it do its work. It popped 15- O2 Sensor pre cat cyl 5-8 and 96 Injector 1 and...

So I have on 04 330i with about 65k miles on it. I took it in the service center today due to the driver side window being slower than usual when it's going down, and half way when it's going down, it makes a popping sound. I wanted to get the car tinted soon so I thought I might as well get...
