2003 series wagon feels like
If your transmission is an automatic, it sounds like the torque converter is locked. It could be something as simple as a bad solenoid. You need to get it to a shop and have the computer scanned to see if the solenoids have triggered a trouble code. Also, check your transmission fluid while the engine is hot and running.
Hi, I have 328XI Station
Do you keep the key in your pocket quite a bit? Most BMW's need the key to be recharged in the ignition console for a few hours every week or so. The battery will die if you don't charge it for about an hour or two once a week.
;eft frpmt wheel bearing noise - cost to repair or
if you have more than a 3 year warranty it is covered under warranty
if you are going to do the work yourself you need to remove the front road wheel
find the bolts that hold the caliper on and remove them
remove the caliper leaving the flexible brake line connected or you will have to bleed the brakes when you reconnect it
once the caliper is removed you have to remove the bearing cap in the centre of the rotor
remove the retaining split pin from the stub axle and remove the large nut that holds the wheel bearing
remove the bearings and the rotor, clean all grease off the rotor where the bearings are
use a drift and remove the inner bearing shells from the rotor by hitting them from behind with a hammer and the drift
place the new shells in position and gently tap them into position using a brass drift or a press
regrease the rotor hub with new grease, pack the bearing with grease and replace everthing in reverse order of removal
if you buy the new bearings from a bearing supplier you will save quite a few dollars as automotive spare parts dealers are usually a lot more expensive with their prices
Dont forget to put a new seal in the back of the rotor hub before you place the rotor on the stub axle
the seal can be bought from the bearing supplier as well
Just replaced my front disc brakes & sensors on my 2008 328i BMW
That warning light is only supposed to come on when they touch metal, and when you take it away from the metal, it is supposed to shut off. You might have to pull a lead off the battery to get it to reset. Check the sensors, make sure the tips are not touching anything. Then do the battery thing.. Hope this helps.
Battery completly dead. need to access battery in trunk.
hi .....wrong there is a simple answer lol, open your hood/bonnet under there you should find a plastic cover with a + on it, lift that cover and there should be what looks like a brass nut and tall, get a friend , or if possible a new battery and some jump leads, connect the red + to the + under hood/bonnet and connect the - earth to any part under the hood/bonnet ie, something that is connected to the body as the earth is connected this way, and hey presto....you can open everything and get to your lifeless plastic brick in the back lol....hope this helps please vote thanks

Bluetooth problems BMW car and Nokia N97
I'm afraid I can't solve your problem, but you're already one step further than I am: I have a 2004 E60 (525d touring) and it won't pair at all, the N97 doesn't even SEE the car's bluetooth.
And my previous Nokia E61i paired, but never transferred the contactlist.
