2001 BMW 3 Series - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This could come from a variety of places... in no particular order... the "new" CPS is bad (get another one)... The battery is weak or has low voltage (replace battery)... The DME may need an update / DIS CD 30.0 or higher... dealer or good Independent shop can do this) last one to look at is the fuel filter (replace)

What you describe is called "passing mode". The way it works is a switch under the gas pedal. when you press the pedal most all the way to the floor, the shift point changes to right at redline. It leads to very impressive performance when you punch it. Since this shift point is always on, I would suspect the passing mode switch is stuck in the on position.

The starter solenoid is defective, the contact inside the solenoid that energize the starter are burned, remove them and look bet they are heavily pitted, replace the starter.

Not typically. If t he tire came apart and hit wiring or something related to the engine management system it is possible. Not likely but possible.

hello dschlig, most common for these seats are the motors. I would recommend raising the seat as high as possible. While trying to activate the seat in the forward/back positions, see if you hear or feel a clicking in the motor under the seat. The motor can be recognized closest to the carpet, and has 2 rods going to each seat track. If the motor clicks, inspect the connector and make sure nothing dislodged it. If it is ok, you can use a small hammer and an extension and lightly tap the motor to see if it will maybe release. If you know how to use a volt-meter, you can also check for power to the motor connector when sliding the switch in either direction. The motor can be replaced seperately.

Firstly test with another battery, sometimes an old battery cannot supply enough current even when the voltage level looks okay. then, Check for full voltage at the starter. Check starter solenoid for freedom of travel.

have you taken the house off to see if there is any blockage?

i see answers to other questions here except the question asked about no heat in a 325 xi 2001 blower works great fluid is full no leaks,fuses are fine,get a lil heat while at a stand still but as soon as you drive cold air only temp on max 91, engine temp right in the middle takes about 8 mins for temp gauge to reach the middle can anyone help with this..PLEASE !!!!!!

To turn off the traction control, you need to press and hold the traction control button. Normally this is located on the centre console above the gearstick and you should have one of the following;

ASC or ASC +T
DSC
finally a button with an exclamation inside a triangle with an arrow on the outside in a clockwise direction. You'll have one of these 4 buttons.

Simply pressing it once will partially turn it off - (depending if its dsc, if not dsc but asc then the system will be turned off)

If you press and hold however, the system will be fully turned off and a warning light will appear on the dash. Again this all depends on the system you have and if you need to press and hold until the light comes on the instrument cluster,or just to press once!

Hope this helps!

starter or crankshaft take it to auto zone and pull codes that will tell u the problem

In the boot you'll find underneath the carpet, a spare wheel well. Containing a spare wheel, a jack, lever tool to remove the bolts and thats all you need. Make sure the handbrake is on and in gear to stop the car moving. Using the jack, you'll notice rubber jacking blocks on th underside of your car.
These points are where to jack the car up. Jack the car up so the its slightly lifted but the wheel is still touching the floor, this will make it easier to undo the wheel nuts. Best way is to put the wheel bolt removal tool and kick it down to "crack them off". Once all bolts loosened continue to jack car up till the wheel is clear off the ground. Remove all loosened bolts and replace wheel. Job done!

go to google and typ it in it will tell you

What is the problem there?

fuel pressure, ignition system,map sensor,throttle position sensor,timing,valves,crank sensor, cam sensor, compression

Fixya has no manuals, sorry.
