It's because of your Motronic Unit (the computer) having self-limiters in it. If you want to change your computer's settings, go to www.bavauto.com and they sell "chips" or a programmer to allow you to reach top speeds by bypassing the limiters within your Factory Computer...known to us "Bimmer" enthusiasts as a Motronic.

Hope this Helps,

The convertible top on my 2001 BMW 325ic will now

DID the top just stop? Have you lowered it before? If you have lowered it before then I am sure you are doing it correctly (parking brake set) Go to a place that is familiar with repair convertible tops. Like the dealer or a bmw specialist. they should charge a couple hours or less to tell you what is wrong. You can try a couple of things yourself but even for an experienced mechanic it is difficult. If they have a bmw code reader and not a generic one, it may tell you what sensor or motor is at fault. Sometimes the switch itself goes bad. Try pushing farther down on the switch or apply pressure at an angle on the switch. That will only work if there is a bad contact on the switch, and if it works you have a bad switch, but I doubt it. Go into your manual or online and it will give you information on how to lower your top manually. When you lower your top manually you disengage the motor (which is in the trunk). Then you could try to engage the motor and see if it will lift up and close. Sometimes this will re-time the top and that is all that is needed. Otherwise get it to the dealer. If your mechanic wants 1000 he does not want to fix it or does not know how. The motor may cost a 1000, but usually it would make noises or poop before going out and most repairs are sensor related. Hope that helps

Assuming everything is working properly,where should the needle on my temp gauge be under normal driving conditions?1996 bmw 328i

I would say no more than 210 F, Say you have a thermostat listed at 185, or 195, they open up at that temp, the engine under normal driving will run between 195 and 210, you really don't want to see 250. even though coolant boils at 265+, in a pressurized unit, and some cars are supposed to run that hot, I don't like the idea. Hope this helps.

ABS and anti skid tracking control lights stay on in my BMW 523i

Unfortunately there are several possibilities that are common to causing the light to come on. I would suggest taking the car in to a dealer and having them read out the fault memory. Such possibilities are a failed speed sensor, a binding DSC/ACS actuator cable, or faulty DCS/ASC control unit. If you know how, you can disconnect the speed sensors, and check for voltage output across the the terminals inside the connector going to the speed sensor while rotating the wheel. A dealer should charge you about an 1hour fee to check out your system. Due to the cost of parts involved, I would recommend having it checked before just guessing.
