Its you batery in good power to start it? This is maybe problem.

sOUNDS LIKE POWER STEERING IS EITHER LOW OR NEEDS A PUMP. DOES IT FEEL LIKE FLAT SPOTS IN THE WHEEL WHILE TURNING?

you are best to buy high quality pads, semi or ceramic notwithstanding, the less you pay the lower quality you get may save a few bucks but they will wear quicker

Well, inspect to see if the radiator or the trans hoses are what is leaking. REplace what you need to. The trans is cooled in the radiator.

One of two things could be the issue. I would drive it to an AutoZone or similar parts store. They will check the battery (under load, as any battery will normally show 12+ volts with a voltmeter) and should be able to determine if it is the battery or the voltage regulator. Unfortunately if it is the regulator you may have to get another battery as well. But since you can drive for an hour or so after a jump, I would say the battery is not holding charge correctly and needs to be changed. Hope this helps

Make sure you have enough brake fluid, make sure all 4 tires are the same size. You can check the output voltage (DC voltage agenerators) of each wheel speed sensors, make sure all connections and sensors are clean and good. AFTER THAT YOU WILL NEED A SCANNER TO GO ANY FURTHER. Good Luck.

have you ever found solution - what are you doing now about it all... we had same car - got rid of it -no one could fix it !!! needed a car that would start - difficult giving it up but what other alternative is there ? get stuck away from home? bought a new Cadillac - amazing car !

This happened to my 06 325i, the navigation and instrument cluster displays are not controlled by the same computer, mine had to go back to the dealer for a reprogramming, hope this helps. let me know.

Hey

They don't put a fill tube on them . It's suppose to be life time fluid. Must be filled from the fill hole and the plug is on the right rear side of the trans.

Hope this has helped

You need special tool , that plugs into diagnostic connector.
No way around it.

Hi,

This type of engine does not have timing marks to set ignition timing, this is electronically set by the DME ( Digital Motor Electronics) which can only be set by BMW specialist and there OEM test equipment.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I hope this helps you a detailed sketch that I made just for you and a better understanding of the timing settings of your BMW engine

level should be on max if its hot or just below the middle if cold. in order to top up oil we do it in two stages leave cold slowly fill to bottom mark, then wait 5 mins check again should be around middle if not add another 100 mils wait check again. then run car for 10 mins stop engine wipe dip stick clean then check again level should be slighty under top mark this should answer your question

I would recommend every 5000km / 3000 miles OR 6 months.

If you do high mileage then switch that to 10,000km / 6,000 miles OR 12 months. Use top grade oil though.

a bad wheel sensor could be the culprit. as far as which one it could be any one of the four wheel sensor, but i would start with the front
