Talk to a BMW dealership, this item is warranted forever. it will be replaced free by the supplier.

If your car is leaking coolant from the water pump. Replace the water pump. If not replace thermostat first. It is the cheapest out of the 2.

If it's not under the hood, then the only other place BMW places their batteries is in the trunk. Since it's a Sport Wagon, pull up where the rear spare would be and it will be there, usually on the right hand side.

Hope this Helps,

First check for vacuum leaks.

raise vehicle and remove 1 wheel stud each side, use a flashlight to see inside.While spinning the wheel you will see a adjuster that loocks like a sprocket,use a long narrow flathead to pru against this part and you will see it turn, turn it untill it locks the wheel and then back it off about three teeth

Hi tim to adjust the parking brake shoe is take off one wheel bolt and turn it untill you see the parking brake ajuster ( look like a gear) use torch and flat screw driver. first tight the adjuster untill you cant turn the wheel then undo it for atleast 8 notches

Yes and no. Yes you can change the tire size and go up. Your car is equipped with 225/50-17 if I am not mistaken. What you need to be concerned with it not increasing or decreasing the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combination. The diameter of you wheel/tire is 25.9". If you go to a larger or smaller diameter tire you speedometer and odometer will be off. To check the sizes and how they effect the diameter go to this site. Put your OEM size in and then check different sizes and how they effect diameter. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html You can on some cars, for a fee, have the ECU reprogrammed for a larger tire by the dealer. Contact your BMW dealer to find out.

The IAT (intake air temperture sensor) is located in and part of the MAF (mass airflow sensor).

Hello. Definitely use a trickle charger to keep your battery charged throughout the winter.
And in no particular order consider the following:
1. Oil and filter change
2. Full fuel tank - actually necessary.
3. Car up on jack stands
4. Car washed and waxed, perhaps covered
5. Intake and exhaust covered with strong mesh screen to prevent rodent infestation (optional, depending on where the car will be stored; mandatory if stored outside)
6. Clean interior and remove anything that could decay (and stink!)
7. install trickle charger to keep car's battery and electronix fully powered
8. Deflate tires to 15 lbs pressure
9. Roll all windows down 1/2 inch to allow for ventilation (optional if storing outside and/or covering car)

Monthly: Start engine and allow to fast idle (1000-2000 rpm) for several minutes. Engage AC to circulate refrigerant oil and keep seals fresh

PS Please rate my answer. Thank you.

Check to see if you have a collapsed exhaust pipe.

please explain what you are trying to do because iam intrigued ,rollers on the wheel?? Sounds like an old scammel truck with its funny trailor pick up system

Unfortunately, there's a hidden 10 mm nut on the backside/lower part of the Alternator bracket that needs to be loosened before rolling the splined bolt in front, to 75 inch pounds. It was originally made to "jam" within the skinny part of the bracket in the back when loosening it, but it just rolls within the bracket not allowing the belt to be properly tensioned. To preform this operation now, you must first remove the air cleaner box, mass air flow sensor, the hoses and bellows going to the throttle body and only then, can you take a 10 mm open end wrench and place it directly over the nut to help "jam" it while unscrewing the bolt on the front side. In tightening the belt with the 10 mm nut still tight, it will crack the front bracket of the Alternator every time. Sometimes you can't even see the nut, but reach below the power steering pump and to the bottom of the Alternator and you'll notice a "I-Beam" type of cavity on that bracket leading towards the driver's side of the car. Use your little finger to feel it so you can place the wrench directly over top of it...not on it for the wrench will not fit that way. After your belt adjustment is done, you'll have the same problem in tightening that nut back up. Whatever you do, don't take the nut all the way off! It will only lead to your frustration in putting this "Nylock" nut back on. A 3/8" or 1/4" air ratchet works the best on the 13 mm bolt on the front side of the Alternator. Actually, if you don't have a 10 mm wrench, use a thick bladed flat screwdriver to jam the nut, so it won't turn while you're loosening the front bolt.
