if you run the a/c in slow traffic it will cause more heat in the engine bay then the car can ex spell if that is not the case try putting in a new thermostat and also when the thermostat is being replace have a very through cooling system flush done.hopefully this helps a bit.

If it is posi rear-end or limited slip MUST have additive added to fluid or will cause noises.

Have you checked your fuses ? Might also want to begin checking for power from the fuse panel to the light assembly.

Hi, you need to explain the problem your having a bit in order for us to help you. Please describe your problem in detail so we will be able to assist.

Hi,
That terminal is up front because the battery is in the trunk and less accessible. You can hook the charger up positive to the underhood post you mentioned. If there is no negative post shown in the manual, keep in mind that the whole chassis and engine is grounded. Any exposed metal parts should work - a shock tower bolt for example.

You can hook the charger directly to the battery in the trunk too, but the above should work just fine.

remember this is not a warning about oil level, that is another system, this is the engine oil pressure warning, this means the oil pressure being read by the oil pressure sending unit is below about 5-10 pounds per square inch or PSI, at this low of pressure the engine bearings can be damaged as well as other components like the valve train parts, the thing to do here is have the oil pressure tested by a shop with a special calibrated mechanical test gauge, the one in the car is electronic, u may just have a defective oil pressure sending unit, but take no chances, if the pressure is really low engine damage will occur soon, get the oil pressure PSI checked ASAP, if it is ok then the shop will replace the oil pressure sending unit on the engine, about a $100 part.

If you have a multimeter remove and test the fuses for continuity (OHMS) as fuses can look OK but they have blown. If your replacing fuses ONLY replace the with one of the Same colour and Amp rating.

Question edited for clarity. changed your Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) into Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), and added some punctuation to make real sentences. Your car is run by computers, the computers have diagnostics and will tell you what's wrong. You can't guess faults like you have. A Professional Grade Scan Tool computer can diagnose all the computers, modules, sensors and systems in about 40 minutes. It can even record what happens and what goes wrong as you are driving! https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

https://cararac.com/blog/bmw-no-crank-no-start-problems-and-solutions.html This will give you a few ideas of what to look for. Make sure you are getting battery voltage to the fuse box.

To turn off HDC on a BMW, all you have to do is press the HDC button located on the center console. The button will have an image of a vehicle going downhill with a speedometer above it, and you'll know it's off if there are no lights illuminated above it. If you ever want to turn the system on again, just press the button again.

6 years different and a different series? If only life was that easy! Some BMW have a mechanical pump driven by the serpentine belt, and some have an totally electric powered pump. Just buy one for the model you have. https://www.google.com/search?q=2012+BMW+535i+water+pump or https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+BMW+330i+water+pump Rock Auto are a good suppliers, have images and different makers and 'qualities'. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/bmw,2006,330i,3.0l+l6,1431850,cooling+system,water+pump,2208 ..

Check the basics first. Is battery fully charged? This is the most common reason for a no crank, no start. What exactly does it do when you turn the key? Nothing at all, no lights, no 'click' as you turn the key. A slow lazy crank?
