check to make sure you have fluid in your radiator. second if you do make sure it is flowing through your engine. do this by starting your car and removing the radiator cap. caution is advised do not do this if the car is hot. only attempt if car is cold. you should be able to see if the fluid is moving or not. let it run for a bit check tempeture gauge if it shows hot or normal and nothing is flowing, probably the thermostat.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. That is always possible. It could be a bad plug, wire, coil, coil pack also. You could have a bad fuel injector now. You need to test the spark on the car and test the fuel pressure also. Check your fuses and make sure none have blown.

check gearbox oil level first and if noise persists then ask a local mechanic to have a look for you as it could be the thrust bearing has given up the ghost but without hearing the noise myself i couldnt say ,so please ask a local mechanic to have a look as he will soon know whats wrong

Hi, Well, if both are onat the same time it meanssit tight, you're about to eat it.Sorry, couldn't resist. It would generally mean a problem exist in the sensing units of those two systems. When you start the carthe computer does a self test of the computerized and safety items. There could be simple fixes like a something being placed on the seat (passenger) and the seat belt not fastened. Most newer systems have a airbagoff option so certain passengers that can't handle the blast of the bag, don't get hurt.. Avoid having anything on the passenger front seat. When you start the vehicle the computer sets a fault code, wqhich can be erased after a thorough inspectionof those systems.Focus on the seat pressure switches. AND, of course the fuses. Good luck, I hope it''s something so minor. _Ned_.

You need to contact a BMW zone office and ask to speak to and meet area Zone rep. That's unacceptable, I'm surprised that the dealer let you have the car back after 3rd replacement. I used to work for BMW and it's either a MAJOR defect in parts and design or you or someone else who drives your car doesn't drive a standard transmission car properly. Ask BMW if there are any "open campaigns" on your car... this should get a serious reply

uplug battery it will reset its brain.

Make sure the light bulb is good for one. Pull it out and see if the filament is broken or if the glass is discolored. This is the most likely cause.

take the bumper off first

change the fuel filter could have sucked up dirt or you kept trying to start it and burned out the fuel pump or check the fuse

If when you do try to start it and you can hear a click. It could be the starter going out. One way to check is when it happens hit the starter with something hard, several times, you will not hurt it. you might have to try it a couple of times. If it starts then the starter is bad. replace it.

check the battery terminal
