Just double check the tyre pressure as per specification and reset the the Tyre Pressure Monitor system. Also make sure no Tyre punture on it.

check your tires first, if it out of balance the it would do that

that is the secondary air sensor malfunctioning. that if you locate the mass airflow sensor, then the secondary sensor that is causing the trouble code is located on the opposing side of the engine. it can be replaced for under $100

usually spark plugs,wires if you have any.oil change if you havent done it,air filter,fuel filter check fluids ,brakes

yes it sound like the fuse the fuse some time is the same a the ac fuse your fuse panel should tell you what fuse it is

Not sure this is gonna work with your car but with a lot of european cars you do this: With ignition off push and hold tripmeter reset button. While holding button in turn ignition on. Continue holding button in . After a few seconds meter should start counting backwards Hold button in till it reaches zero
Hope this works Cheers

as par as my concern there is no way to reset the hand brake light. i suggest you to see in owner's manual to verify what light it is

there is no way to reset it, try to read your owner's manual to verify what light your concerned is

Unplug the spark plug wire to the cylinder that seems to be close to the noise. If after unplugging the correct cylinder if the noise stops, you have internal damage that will need repaired.

sounds like battery or bad starter

not a speed limit problem, needs scanning for fault code, phone around for a mechanic with right scan tool for job or go BMW service.

Hi Cypher,

Good question, the answer is yes and no.

If you disconnect the battery, you can lose diagnostic codes, your radio may think it's stolen and lock itself, your clock will stop, etc.

If you leave it connected for three months, these items will drain the battery.

These items need very little power to run, but they do need power.

Leaving even a low amperage trickle charger on for three months isn't a great idea, that will kill the bat too.

You can set a charger up to a timer. Program it for 2 hours a night at 2 amps. That will keep it ready to go upon your return.

Best regards
Mike

Passenger side rear quarter panel in the trunk (yeah, in the trunk, believe it or not). Look under the pass side tail light in the trunk you'll see the two screws holding down the cover.

its not a big job just make anote how u take the old one out but yoy will need to take it to a garage to get them set up

if you have an entire headlight assembly (in case of accident) remove bumper, there are 8mm screws on the inner lining of the fron wheel well where the fender plastics and the air dam connect to the bumper, undo the screws concerning the bumper on bot sides of the car. then remove the plastic cover under the bumper (either philips screw heads or 10mm) and then under the aluminum re-enforcement strip behind the bumper (access from under the car) remove the torx screws that hold the bumper aluminum to the car frame, get a friend to help you pull the bumper off evenly an then seek the 8mm screws that hold the headlamp in place. the headlamp comes off the car strait out the direction of the front. disconnect the wires and connect the new lamp and fasten to the car. then do the assempbly in reverse order for the bumper installation.
for just changing the bulb, there are some rubber seals behind the light where the bulb rests. there are metal clips than you depress to release the bulb. install a new bulb and then replace the rubber caps.

BKR6EQUP from NGK is the best fit for this engine. Greetings from Germany!

may have a bad volume control,

WHat I found is that there are two gaskets, one to seal the cap and one internally.. BMW sells the filter and O rings in a kit, which cost $13.00.

This fixed the problem.

I need also,told by main agent filter is adjacent to passenger ns
sill,there is a cover there,looks like the big one over the underside?
will post after I do the job KJ

IF THE BATTERY WENT DEAD RECENTLY YOU COULD HAVE LOST THE ROLLING CODE BETWEEN THE DME AND THE EWS MODULES. HAVE A DEALER CHECK TO SEE IF THEY ARE STILL ALIGNED. ALSO TRY A DIFFERENT KEY JUST IN CASE ONE IS BAD.
