SOURCE: where do u put transmission fluid in a bmw 740il 2001

Here is the procedure:

The transmission temperature must be between 86° to 130° F (30° to 55° C) before checking With engine running, switch on AC While holding vehicle with brakes, place transmission into each gear briefly With engine running and transmission in park, remove Fill/Check plug. If a small amount of oil runs out, fluid level is correct. If no oil runs out fluid level is low, add fluid as required through Fill/Check plug hole. When level is correct, reinstall Fill/Check plug and tighten to correct torque.

SOURCE: BMW Cabin AIr Filters for 1997 740il

there are two more filters. they are called interior recirculation filters.
one is located under the footwell trim panels for the driver and passenger.after removing the trim panels, look inward toward the center console and follow it back to the firewall.the filter is about 3inches by 4inches. make sure not to inhale the dust from them when removing them..they will cause a sinus headache.I recommend replacing them very 2 years, especially if you use recirculation.

SOURCE: 2001 bmw 740il output speed sensor location

hello ryk786, i/m not a hundred percent certain, but I think the output speed sensor is located at the back of the transmission. With the pan removed, if you look at the valve body and see the EDS valves and connectors, look about 2 inches back toward the end of the case and you should see a connector by itself. There should be a retaining torx bolt and spring holding the sensor in place. After installing the new sensor, do not over-tightend the bolt. The torque should be around 5-6 Nm.

SOURCE: driver seat and steering wont adjust on my 95 740il

here's what you have to do:
#1. make sure the fuse to the seat adjustment is not blown, its usually a 10 or 15amp fuse.
#2. unscrew the cover to the controls on the driver's seat and make sure the harness is not loose or
broken, if the harness fails to attach to the control board correctly the steering wheel and the
seat adjustment will not work, this harness tends to come loose and even brake over time due to
the constant movement when you get in and out of your car.
I hope this solves your problem.

Bmw x5 drivers air bag light reset

There is not a reset for the air bag light. You will need to repair the system before the light will go out and the system will once again arm.

Window does not lift drivers door

The window regulators in e46s are notorious for failure.
Often, you can fix them with zip ties. Failing that, replacing the regulator is not too hard.
Disconnect the battery before starting to remove the door panel because there is an air bag in the door panel.
Pry up the trim strip starting from the rear. Remove all the screws that hold on the door panel. One of them is hiding beneath the mirror control button. Pry the switch up out of the door to find the screw.
DO NOT connect the battery and turn on the key while the air bag is unplugged.
Once you can see the regulator, you may be able to see where the cable has broken loose from the regulator. You may be able to zip tie it back in place. I did that several years ago on my wife's '04 330 and it is still working.
You can get a window regulator for this car on Amazon.com for $50 or you can get a BMW regulator for $150. Since we know that the BMW part is crappy, the $50 aftermarket part from Amazon might be worth a try.

My window on my bmw goes down a qauter ways and it gets stuck and dosent go down all the way how do you fix it

Window regulators in early e46s are notorious for failing. If this is the first time it has failed, you must not use your windows much. Many of them had all four of their window regulators replaced before they got out of their original 4-year warranty.
Replacing it is not difficult, but repairing the broken plastic piece by wrapping a couple of zip ties around it is much easier and quicker and very cheap. The driver door in my wife's '04 330 has had zip ties in it for a couple of years and works just fine.
You will need a Torx head screwdriver set to remove the inner door panel. You pry up the trim strip starting at the rear to expose screws, and there are more screws beneath the mirror switch and below the big door handle. Be sure to disconnect the battery several minutes before removing the air bag, and handle the air bag carefully. It can hurt you. DO NOT connect the battery and test the repair while the air bag is disconnected or you will need to pay someone to reset the airbag (SRS) warning light.

Driverside door locks not working

Virtually all of the electronics for the door locks are in snap-in door lock modules that are easily replaceable. All four doors use identical modules, so if you get one from a junk yard, get one from a different door that likely has less use than the driver door. New OEM modules sell for $60 on line.
Make sure that the module and the mechanical door lock are in the same 'state' (locked or unlocked) or the hole won't line up and it won't snap in. Compare the new one to the one you pulled out to get it in the correct position.
Disconnect the battery several minutes before you touch the air bag in the door, and do not reconnect the battery and turn on the key while the air bag is unplugged. If you break snaps getting the door panel off, no worries, the snaps cost less than a buck a piece.

Disconnect driver side air bag to work on power window

The side impact air bag in the door? Unhook the battery. Wait 5 minutes, then unbolt it and unplug it. It will be fine. Don't hook up the battery with the air bag unplugged to test the window, it will set a trouble code and the air bag light will be on until you go to the dealer and have it reset. Just make sure before you hook the battery back up the airbag is bolted back in place and plugged in.

Recently the electric window winder on my BMWZ4 drivers dide was replaced.Since this has happened my airbag light stays on.Could this have been anything done during the winder replacement.

Hi , does your car have a side door air bag ? , if so this would have to be removed to replace the window mechanism and the ignition has probably been turned on with the air bag disconected so the air bag control unit has reconised a open curcuit fault, the warning light will stay on until the fault memory has been cleared , hope this helps , regards mark

02 330i drivers door airbag deployed, dealer saying it needs a new door panel,I disagree, looks like the panel is fine & can be used after a new air bag is set in. Any advice here?

the door panel needs to be replaced to correctly fix it. I guess you could go and glue the door panel back together. The dealership is going to put the vehicle back into factory condition. Usually when side air bags blow, the way the door panel is meant to tear it would make sense just to glue it back together as long as the leather doesn't tear
