SOURCE: How to remove wheel on 2001 bmw 325i

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!

SOURCE: How to install front bumper cover on 2001 BMW E39

Installation of the Molding
Take the Molding Trim whether it is stock black or painted. Mine is black because my car is a year 2000. Painted side moldings were done in the year 2001. Snap them into place.

From the stock bumper, retrieve the upper rubber gaskets unless you ordered new ones. Simply take a screw driver and pry a corner off to get you started. Wash thoroughly. NOTE which one belongs on which side.
Place the rubber gasket on the M5 Front Bumper onto its appropriate side. Top dscn5717%20copy.jpg The M5 Bumper is now Fully Assembled!!! Place aside where it can't be damaged.

SOURCE: Describe your BMW 2001 325 Problem car hesitates

this problem could be cause by a few things, the first thing to check would be the operation of the air fuel sensor and the next thing i would look at would be to check for proper fuel preasure. the preasure spec is 50psi. and the volume spec is that it should pump at least 1.85 L in 30secs.

Testimonial: "Thanks, I will look into this. Great turn around time..."

SOURCE: I have a 1998 BMW

Do you have an owner's handbook? What happens is that they use a rod that looks like a big screw. If that track has been damaged in any way, it can bind and may require excessive force to close. The manual indicates that some resistance is felt at the halfway point and that if if triggers it to retract, to hold the button forward. If this does not work, I would push with my hand while holding the button til it is closed. The headliner may have to be removed to gain axcess to be repaired. Let me know on the owner's handbook and what you find with the sunroof.

Will a a failed soft top convertible top motor show up as a OBD fault code

It will not show up with a typical P code from Autozone. It might show up with a dedicated code reader for specifically BMW. My code reader with BMW extended program does not show it. To trouble shoot this without a BMW code reader, try your buttons first, if you do not hear a motor noise, then you need to check if motor is getting power when button is pressed. Take of access panel in center of roof forward near rear view mirror. You will be able to access the motor there. Probe the electrical connections going to the motor and have someone push the buttons. Review the meter while buttons are pressed to see if motor is getting approx. 12 volts. If so then the motor may be dead. If there is not activity at the motor as far as 12 volts, then you have an electrical supply issue which could be several options: Electrical wiring, loose plug somewhere, a bad fuse (most common), a bad switch (probably not if both switches do not respond to electrical test), or a bad relay. Remember to check the truck are for the roof storage panel. If this is in the up position it will not allow enough roof for roof the store in truck and will not allow roof to move, retract.

BMW roof is stuck closed with only one latch hooked!

There is a compartment on the top center of the windshield. This contains a bolt that released the latches that lock the top to the windshield. It takes an allen wrench to unwind the roof latch and it takes an infinite amount of turns.

I HAVE A 1995 M B 500 SL THE SWITCH INDICATOR FOR THE TOP & ROLL BAR STAY IN A BLINKING POSITION. THE TOP, POWER WINDOWS AND ROLL BAR WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL... THANK YOU

The control module has set a fault and it will have to be reset. They are sensitive to voltage & must have 12 volts to operate properly.
The windows and top will need to be resync. I cannot find any information regarding the diagnostic procedure for the roof .. it states there is a procedure to diagnose the fault with the number of flashes the switch makes .. a dealer may be your best option on this fault .. I hope this helps some.

Hi, my soft top roof is coming away around the window. what is the best product to fix this? thanks

i would recommend using some type of gasket that matches the color of your top you can find them in a number of auto parts stores or local junkyards. Its your only alternative is replacing the top or getting a hard top for the rainy months

1996 bmw 328i convertible top won't open

The top works with two circular motors in the trunk. The motors are similar to the ones that open and close the windows. The motors of the roof can be engaged and disengaged. One motor drives the roof lid the other one drives the roof itself. The trick to engage and disengage the motors so that they are correctly syncronized to opening and closing.

Soft top 97' problem

Open the trunk. Remove the material covering on the left hand side. You will see 2 electric motors(similiar to the ones that wind the windows). One motor open and closes the roof lid the other brings the roof up or down.

These motors can be engaged and disengaged manually. 

First check that the motor's are working. 

If the motors are working. 

Then engage and disengage until they are in sync and open and closes the roof in the correct order.

Please come to me for further assistance.

My S Reg 323i electric roof.

Ive had the same problem on my car. If you open the trunk and pull away the material covering on the left hand side you will find two electric motors similar to the ones that winds the windows these motors have to be in exact sync for the whole system to work fine.

The one drives the lid and the other one drives the roof. You can engage and disengage the motors to get the roof in sync and working perfectly. Also check that when the lid closes it engages a button on the left that allowes the roof to close aver the lid after the lid has closed this button also tells the car that the roof lid is closed and it is ok to let the trunk be opened.

I also suggest that you treat the roof mechanism with some penetrating oil.
