    I have searched and read as many threads as possible and haven't seen anything that quite details what my car is doing, so I hope someone on here may be able to pinpoint it or at least point me in the right direction. On my 2001 325 xi wagon, I have idle issues no matter what temperature it is...

    Hi, My '02 e46 with M54B22 started to drive sluggish after driving it 30 minutes. When engine is cold everything is fine. When it is warm sometimes engine rpm won't fall down when braking or releasing accelerator.It just keeps slowly coming down like if i would releasing gas pedal very slowly...

    I first noticed the issue about a week ago. At low rpms (lightly pressing the gas), the car shudders and doesnt deliver much power. At higher RPMs, it smooths itself out. I want to say that when I first noticed it, my gas tank was rather low. Today, my gas tank is low again and it is acting up...

    I drive my car relatively calmly but I discovered a while back that I'm now financially ready to take care. Whenever I do brake and gas at the same time, there's a heart wrenching grinding noise. It sounds like two metal pieces grinding together. I tried it today to see if the issue was still...

    I have done a good bit of searching but haven't found anyone with specifically my problem. Im taking my 04 325xi back into the stop tomorrow. I get a high frequency vibration at 60-80 mph and worse when the car is in gear. I feel it in the clutch, throttle, steering wheel, seat and shifter...

    I'm noticing that sometimes this signal keeps popping up on my center console when I am driving. I could not find any description in the Owner's Manual, and didn't know what to call it to search on the forums here. What is this icon meant for? I thought it related to my passenger-side tail...

    Hello all, first post on here. Recently, my amazing grandmother handed me down her 2003 BMW 325i. I have noticed that while driving at normal cruising speeds (40mph) there is a dump in the RPM and a very rough grinding noise. Auto transmission and new spark plugs as of 3 days ago. Sound seems to...

    Yes, another whistle thread. Been looking through and I've heard that a whistle could either be the idler tension pulley or the air intake boot, but it doesn't exactly sound like that. I came out from work tonight and heard it start to whistle as I got in the highway. It's extremely faint -...

    Hello. The RPM needle is off by about 700 rpm in my car. However it is still functioning. By functioning i mean the needle moves up and down with the revs of the engine. I have ran the test 2 on the instrument cluster. The needle moved all the way from 700 to almost touching the MPG needs on...
