Hi guys. I hope you are all doing well. I need your help once again. My car ran totally fine today until later when I tried starting it again. It fired up multiple times but for a few short seconds only until it stalled. I tried giving it some gas but I was unable to keep the car running. It's...

Hi, this is my first post here :) I bought a 2002 330ci m-sport a couple months ago (first car), and so far i love it. It ran quiet and smooth in every way until last night. Last night the red battery light came on for a couple seconds while i revved it, then it went out. A minute later it came...

I have scoured multiple forums and searched for hours and now this is my last ditched effort before going to a mechanic. This is going to be long winded but I want to be as thorough as possible. I have an '01 330CI auto and what I imagine was the original CCV. So I felt ambitious and tried...

Recently bought a used 2004 330 with 100k. 1 owner with tons of maintenance records. I think what's happening might be my doing (and that all manner of sucks!). What I did: There was the dreaded AC stink in the car, so after doing TONS of research I took everything out down to the blower motor...

Hello, I have a 2001 325ci I am having the fun problem of the car not starting. When I put the key in to start it does nothing no clicking no attempt to turn the motor over at all. I have done a lot of reading and thought it was the battery. I got a new one and still has the same problem. I...

Hi All, Looking for some guidance on a problem I've encountered with my new E46 convertible (BMW 2003 318 2L Petrol Manual) mileage 100k. Bought just over a week ago and it drives like a dream, (most of the time). The only issue I've encountered is that it occasionally and very randomly won't...

So my car suddenly won't start today. I hear clicking sound when it tries to start then long humming sound. Also the ABS light flickers. Can someone help me diagnose the issue?

Hey everyone! I've been roaming forums for at least 2 weeks trying to diagnose my no start problem. It started at over a month ago we didn't drive the bimmer for a week. Went up to start it and nothing but lights. Tried jumping it, started no problem. I figured it was just a weak battery so we...

Hey guys, I need some assistance. Intermittently, especially after sitting for a while, my '01 325i won't start up on the first try, and sometimes even after the third. There is no crank sound whatsoever, but there is a sort of "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound coming from under the hood that lasts for...

When I go to start my car, I'll turn the key and it'll just crank over without firing, then I just turn the key back off and turn it back to the start position and it fires right up? Anyone had this issue before? It only does it sometimes, completely random...

Turning the ignition switch results in a headlight flash, dash lights flash, rumbling noise from the dash, no starter noise. This lasts for maybe 20 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Engine doesn't crank at all. Just before this started I attempted to use my Peake code reader to reset...
