Hey Daddykins!

Take a look at the following link: http://www.technologylk.com/catalog/1458/CRL-Weatherstrips-Gaskets/
They sell professional quality replacement weatherstripping / window gaskets with two styles available. You will have to trim to fit, but I'm sure this will save you $$$ over the BMW parts price. They also offer adhesives for installation, or you can get some 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (We used to call it 'gorilla snot', because it would stick anything to anything!).

Hope this helps you out and good luck with the project!

Thanks!

code P1423 for a BMW is secondary airflow sytem bank 1, consult your repair manual and you can go from there. I am not up on imports to be honest but I was able to find out what the code means for you. hope it helps.

No.
To move them, remove the trim on the inside, and remove the 3 nuts that hold the mirrors on.
You said the key word....force. They are not designed to fold in.
And at $250.00 (at least) each (that's unpainted) I don't think you want to replace them unless you have to.

I had the same problem. It turned out that the previous owner(s) had let a lot of sticky trash accumulate under the seat. After the seat was removed and everything (seat tracks and floor) was given a good cleaning, the seat goes up and down just fine.

Look in trunk, under floor cover.

Could be the immobiliser.  Do you have the original keys?  If your key does not have a remote unlock, it's likely to be a "spare" key, which doesn't have an immobiliser chip in it.  If you take your VIN to your dealer, they can get you a new key - at a cost.  I've been quoted over $400 to have a key replaced.
Hope this helps.
 

you can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches functioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single thing is covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

Hi If you've had the tracking done when you had the track rod ends done and it's still pulling to the left I would check your tyre pressures 1st then look at the tyre on the left of your vehicle if its misshaped this could cause pulling Hope this helps Nick

Hi, Easy way to get over this is run a cable from working fog light to none working fog light this should then work. Only other way must be the left fog light is not earthed properly run earth wire to the vehicles body. Please give feedback at [email protected] Thanks, Malcolm Campbell.

have the OBD codes read as a starting point , should point you in the right direction
