I have problems w my power windows is a bmw 1993
If all windows stop workin at once it's a relay .. That can be found under your steering wheel after you remove the panel... This relay you gotta get it at a dealership if your local auto zone don't got it... Its called a comfort relay or a power window relay... Might be blue or gray.. Call the dealership tell them to transfer your call to parts then ask away on your realay... Remove it and give them the part number theres 1 or 2 numbers on it if im correct its the longer numbers you give to them... Make sure when they pull it up on there computer its the right 1... For power Windows .. And if you got a sunroof it'll be for that too. Depends on your model Bmw.. Well good luck and Hope this helps...
I lost my owners manual. Where is the power
It is a black cylinder with a fluted cap if it is not just behind the fan check your fenders near the strut towers it will have a dipstick attached to the inside of the lid do not open the cylinder with the large 36mm bolt on top as this is your oil filter.

How to set up radio without wiring diagram : First you need to hook up the lead and ground power wire to your radio.(the lead usually has a line all the way down it). Turn power on to the radio and switch to am/fm. Locate any lead speaker wire and connect it to front right -. Then take all ground speaker wires one by one and touch them to front right +. As soon as you hear a sound, find out which speaker it is coming from, as soon as you have identified correct speaker remove wires from right speaker and mark them carefully. Do this with the rest of speaker lead wires an speaker ground wires and you will be able to connect your stereo.
HOW COULD I READ CHECK ENGINE CODE ON A 1986 BMW 325E???
You can't use a tool to pull codes from an '87 BMW 325(e). You have the 2.7 liter and your DME, or computer is a Motronic. If you had a 325i, then a tool could read the codes because the computer was upgraded that year to a Motronic 1.1 system with a round plug in under the screw cap on the driver's side under the hood. The only tool you can buy is the one for resetting the service interval light and resetting the oil change light. To answer your question about going about finding your driveability problem would be to get a BMW Bentley Manual. This manual shows you how to use a standard voltmeter to check everything from your computer plug in. Your computer is located above the glovebox.
Good Luck,

How to remove kick panels on an '87 325
they are held in place by small philips head screws......in addition the drivers side kick panel has a 3 bolt enclosure that holds the hood release latch to the kick panel and left footwell, this must be removed as well.....now the fun part....you must lift UP and OUT at the same time to release the lower lip of the kick panel which is tightly wedged.....finesse is required! by the way that a 5 1/4 speaker, but the footwell will also hold some 6 inch speakers as well....I have alpines in mine (89 cab)..put some Dynamat in while your down there!
86 325 BMW - Want a new stereo with CD player - but not aftermark
if it was me i,d replace the original head unit with an alpine they came standard in most early bmw,s and maybe and an ipod to the aux input of the stereo.
the speakers are 5,25 inches and there behind the flimsy front kickpanels you can either just swap them for something more powerful i,l recomend genesis or rainbow for a big difference in sound especially if there a mid and tweeter combination that your buying , if not just a good coaxial set will do but stay away from the kenwoods they lack in midbass !
