    Hi everyone, I just replaced my motor mounts and used an engine support bar to lift it up a couple inches. I drove a bit after the install and got an SES, just a p0174 code. Any first thoughts as to what I may have pulled/stretched/cracked/etc. by lifting up the engine? Intake boot on top looks...

    Good morning community I recently bought a 2003 325i for a steal of a price, off some kid who didn't know too much. He stated that it was having battery problems, draining after a couple days with a new battery, in other words the car was sitting for a couple months. Started the car up...

    Hello all, I am frustrated beyond all compare with the Veepeak and OBD Fusion combo when it comes to interfacing with iOS. I am a convert to all things bitten apple and unfortunately for me, sometimes it doesn't always work in my favor. I have been trolling this site for a long time, and after...

    So, I was driving back to Arizona on Monday after Thanksgiving break and passed through Flagstaff. It was below 30 degrees and snowing hard. I was moving from a stop and trying to catch up to traffic speed (had to pull over to the side of the freeway for a few minutes) when I lost traction for a...

    Okay everyone, I have had my 2004 330ci since February and it has been fantastic on every level to drive. I bought it for a super low price and everything seems pristine but, the previous owner didn't give it the TLC a Bimmer deserves. Over the course of driving it a month I have had lean...

    I have had my SES light on for it seems forever and it goes on and off. I have the codes P0171 and P0174. I had a bmw mechanic look at it but he just found a small cracked hose fixed it and erased the codes. The light came back on and I don't really wanna take it to him or another shop since...

    2000 328i 182,XXX Hey Guys, I am really starting to give up on trying to fix my "SES CODES". Anyways, I failed smog about a month ago, and got until April 8th to fix all those problems to pass smog. Here are the codes from my OBD2-Scanner that I would get. P1188,P1189 (Usually They Would Be...

    Just bought a little silver 2005 325ci with a black canvas top. 135,000 miles Service records looked good. Not two weeks later my SES light comes on. AutoZone says p0171 p0174 Local mechanic says he knows the problem and it costs $800 (Pvs or PVC something) Bimmer doesn't overheat...

    2000 328Ci Auto 130K Driving to work the other morning my SES light came on, had the code read as P1523 - 'A' Camshaft Position Actuator Signal Low (Bank 1) (M52: 'B' Camshaft Position Actuator Tight or Jammed). I found a few posts about this, the best answer seemed to suggest vanos seals...

    :banghead:I replaced my CCV yesterday. Now my SES light is on and the car is acting strangely. The RPMs are steady at idle but drop as soon as I begin to press the accelerator. I have to rev the engine high just to get the clutch engaged. It has also stalled on me on a couple occasions...

    Hey guys, so I'm a newbie here and pretty new to working on cars in general. Yesterday I replaced my VCG and spark plugs on my 2002 330ci after reading up and watching diy's. When I fired up the car for the first time after the install the engine idles very roughly and the rpm bounces, and a few...

    What's up! I got an 02 325i that has been great over the past 10 years I have had it. I do most of the work when there is an issue and am a bit stumped on this one. My bimmer has been giving me some trouble here recently as I am nearing 200k miles. First it was a oil leak that ended up costing...

    I know the E3 and E4 errors have been run into the ground. I am loathe to start yet another topic with the same errors, but after reading all of the threads, I think I have something else going on, or at least I think it is different than what I have read. Details: 2001 E46 (duh) 325ci (M54)...

    First, I cannot express how much of a resource this forum has been for me and how appreciative I am to be able to turn to all of your knowledge for help. I recently bought an 04 330Ci from an auction and it needed so love and attention. I have replaced a lot of the basics (DIY brakes, rotors...

    Hey guys, Had a smog check recently and it failed when the check engine light wouldn't come on when they told it to. However, the light comes on when the key is turned (and then turns off like normal.) Which isn't normal since it is actually throwing a code. I've searched around a bit and can't...

    Hey Guys, I've got an interesting version of the EML, DSC, Brake light problem. I have a 2005 M3 1. It is VERY intermitten, as in long periods of time go by when it happens. 2. First the EML comes on randomly, then the DSC comes on usually minutes later 3. Here is the FUN part!(Thinking cap)...
