After changing battery in 2006 BMW 330I...does it need to reset even if you used the same exact battery? If so, can I reset it on my own?

Hello again Sondra Simon Atkinson and I both answered your query and we both mention parasitic battery drain. None of us mentioned a 'battery reset' and as far as I am concerned, I have never heard of anything like that. A battery is an inert box of lead and acid that holds a charge that you put into it. The engine control module monitors it and BMW being who they are DO in fact have a BATTERY RESET procedure!! https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+bmw+330i+battery+reset Also, if you disconnect the battery for even a short length of time, you will need to reset the security system and immobilizer. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+bmw+330i+reset+security+system ..

2002 Xi. Has bank 1 & 2 fuel trim control limit codes but why does it show 0 on short and long term fuel trim?

it means the 02 sensors are dead. (them or worse) 62 seems way way too high , the service manual tell you spec on this keyon,, idle and WOT, pressure spec, only that matters as does injector leakdown tests and injector balance tests. learn this the O2 sensors can only do a fine tune on fuel. if there are exhaust leaks, o2 lie if there are stuck head valves 02 lie (each slug of air does that) gross misfiring, P017x codes trim error.s that means the PCM can not do trim at all. the engine hot is not in closed loop as it must be. for this above reasons. no vin told no country told no full engine spec name told at all no service manual to read for sure injection and pressure test. and FPR tests for proper regulation at all engine loads. cant be done blind, zero books./ 5 engine there are for 325i no 325XI, 2.5L engine gas. the new FPR page shows 51PSI not not 62 FPR has 4 nippples n it, 2 for fuel and 1 vacuum it seems if I am right on this FPR, there are 3 pressures to test, keyon, idle and WOT vacuum in the plenum does that and is engine load. at key on and wot psi is highes and idle lowest. and is in the manual and my one line BMW pages stinks to high heaven. zero FPRR chapters there, sadly here is fprif vac hose 4 falls off PSI is max. due to vac MIN>port 1,2,3 , one is pump input, one is to rails and one is return to tank line my best guess. which one is which IDK. rail pressure is what matters,key on pressure is highest and idle is lowest.if not fuel trim fails hard. no 02 can cure insane high fuel pressure. the PSI drop is about 5psi.sorry i do not have the real service manuals5 psi less than atmospheric pressure (keyon) also called "constant differential pressure" on the injector and FPR does that magic. on newer cars have FPR sensor and can correct pump or FPR errors. but not yours.fpr-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

2012 bmw 535i got a tire put on my front passenger side and now my tire will not spin now

Tire and rim? The rim may be different and hitting on the caliper. Slowly loosen the tire until it moves, then inspect the area of contact to see why it is binding.

BMW E46 ZF 5HP19 trouble code P1732 P0733 P0734

Yes, this could be the shift solenoid. Was the transmission filter changed at the same time as the fluid? Dirt in the system can affect some of the transmission sensors tripping Trouble codes. I cannot be sure what the P1732 code is as some codes can be very vehicle specific but it appears to refer to the transmission or on of it's sensors. P0733 - Gear 3 Incorrect Ratio. P0734 - Gear 4 Incorrect Ratio.

Is there 2 waterpumps on the 96 bmw 318ti or just one

There is a second pump but it is mostly to provide heat to the cabin heater. It is mounted under the air filter assembly. To check it try this. Turn the ignition key to the 'On' position. With your feet OFF the pedals press the start button. This turns on the pump but not the engine. Turn the heat to Max and the fan to Low. Put you head near the air filter box and listen. If you can't hear the pump try this. Using an extra long screwdriver or a long thin metal rod rest one end on the pump and the other to your ear. You should be able to hear the pump running. *NOTE* It may be louder than you think. Try this website for more information. https://www.meeknet.co.uk/E64/BMW_E63_E64_auxiliary_water_pump_replacement.htm

Thanks for adding the year. My search was for a convertible and this particular search query makes it force the word 'convertible' in the search results.

My electronic immobilizer fuse (38) on my 1997 BMW Z3 kept blowing. I kept replacing it but now it won't crank and the fuse isn't blowing.

Fuses shouldn't keep blowing and that was the cue to get it looked at. You either need to get it towed to the dealership, or contact a mobile auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the electronics. This is not the type of issue you can fix yourself unless you spend $3.5k to $5k on a bi-directional scanner.
