The first place I would check is where the spedometer cable directly connects to the transmission. If there is no visible damage, disconnect the cable and inspect the mating surface for wear.

My 523i has a engine icon light appear on the

It could be serious, or it could be very minor. The check-engine light simply means that something has happened and has set a code or codes indicating a failure or problem with something in the engine. Go to AutoZone and ask them to scan the computer (it's free, and a shop will charge an hour's labor to do this). Get the code(s) they give you and post them here as a reply/comment, and we can help you solve the issue.

Were is battery on a bmw 523i

To be completely honest, I know so few about the 2005 BMW's, but the battery location should be simple.

Typically they are located under the hood, usually by one one ofthe hood hinges. However, BMW has been know to put some of them in thetrunk (E46 325i). I have also seen some of them below the rear seat as well (Serie 3). Thebattery may have a cover over it, so it may be a little harder to see.

From my BMW catalog it shows it should be in the trunk, on the passenger's side. See this site: BMW Select

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

I have a bmw 523i se and the windscreen wipers wont work have tried changing the fuse in the glove compartment but still wont work

it's normal, windshield wipers in bmws are connected to the speedometer since the old E36 3series, so they stop whenever you stop your car. If they start again once the car moves there's nothing wrong with your car!
