Your trans is on it's way out.

Why do you want to add it? Wipe the dipstick on clean white paper towel or cloth. If there are no leaks and the colour is still fairly bright it should be ok. If there are no leaks and the transmission is slipping it needs to go to a dealer or tranny shop.

hi, when you tow your car the gearbox oil pump does not work and damage many parts in the transmission

have you checked the fuse and also the relay.

Battery light is indicating that you have a problem with your charging system (alternator). Sometime old faults are stored on system and need to clear the memory. To clear the memory. unplug both wires on battery terminal. Touch them wire together that will clear any stored memory from the system. Reconnect wire and re-check for any lights. Hope that help.

Try to take your key for a test I suspect your transponder but you must tell us exactly what went on so we can go straight to the problem and assist you

You must use 5w\40 or 10w\40 remember BMW recommends castrol for engine oil

I think you have a defective wheel bearing.

You may be able to get those screws with a flex 1/4 drive extension. Most dealerships will refuse this job. That black box may be the Air bag module. Be sure to disconnect battery Ground cable before going any further. Be careful.

Hi Van,here's a AutoZone repair guide on your heater core,may be the same as your's, Repair Guides Heater And Air Conditioner Heater Core AutoZone com

It's very unlikely that changing the spark plugs would cause the fault you describe. In fact I can't see how it could. Your car may not be using more fuel - it may be that the fuel gauge is giving a false reading of what is in the tank. I would suspect the fuel sender unit - it's in the fuel tank. The unit is electrically operated via a rheostat - as the float level moves up and down according to the level of fuel in the tank it alters the current - which gives a reading as your fuel gauge. You should be able to see the electrical connectors of the sender unit on the top of the tank (you may have to remove the rear seat or a panel inside the car - above the tank). Check the wires for cleanliness and security. If the problem persists ask a workshop for a second opinion. It's not a difficult job changing a sender unit, though I don't know how much one would cost for your vehicle.

At that age its a rebuild or re manufactured unit. I'll be expensive. Probably more cost effective to replace car.

If the key turns in the lock, but does nothing, then the linkage has become disconnected or broken. The key is mechanical to the lock and the lock has a electrical switch to operate the central locking unit. Could be a simple broken clip from the lock barrel. Hope this helps

I would need the owners manual to find that and BMW doesn't offer free downloads of the manual. Sorry
