I've just bought a 2001 E46 330ci convertible (which I love!). I'm new to BMW's. I'd opened the roof a few times before buying but twice now the same problem has occurred and I'm loathe to try opening it again. The roof opens at the front, the lid at the back opens and the roof folds back in...

Why was this thread closed? It had 32 pages of talk so and was still running strong, so was clearly an attractive topic to discuss besides cars??

Hi guys I’m having issues with the door open warning on my car it started a few days ago central locking opens but doesn’t lock the car door lock dash button doesn’t work also the warning light for the door comes on all these intermittently, sometimes it works fine but can kick in again if I go...

Since maplin closed where do you guys go for electronic stuff?

If you pull out the micro filters out from the engine bay, the ones that filter the cabin air, you can see a condenser OR heater matrix(not sure which) I can only see this condenser/matrix because there are two flaps (one each side) that are open..I'm surprised they are open? On my other bm...

Hi all... When I close the boot quite a few times now the boot lights stay illuminated. If I open boot and then close quite hard the some times go off, But I think it could be the micro switch on the glass lid that's the problem.... anyone had same issue ?? Dash picture of boot and bong...

Hello everyone, Just noticed one of the intakes where the car sucks in air through the kidney grills on the front are closed off inside of it as circled in the image so the car is technically sucking in half the amount of air it could do. One picture shows side fully open and the other...

I've had my car remapped and egr deleted from the ecu but it's idling a little rough every now and then for a split second so I'm going to clean the egr valve. Ive been advised to refit after cleaning with it in the closed position. I've not taken it off before as I've only recently purchased it...

Hi, I registered back in 2010 (I had the old emails) but seems by account has been culled through lack of use. I was out of the UK for a few years but now back. In the past had an E46 320D, E39 M5 and now an E61 LCI 535D. Don't think I posted much back then but can't find any of my posts.

I have programmed EGR delete into the engines Ecu (DDE) software so faulty EGRs can be removed or unplugged so the EGR stay closed all the time and dose not to open so the customer does not have to replace it at a high costs or on working EGRs to stop the soot getting into the intake and...

I WAS TESTING THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN THE OTHER DAY AS IT NEVER SEEMED TO SWITCH ON .... LEFT THE CAR IDLING FOR 15 MINUTES AFTER A SHORT TRIP AND IT FINALLY KICKED IN WHEN TEMP. GOT TO 98 DEGREES (ON HIDDEN MENU) .... SEEMS HIGH WHEN ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO RUN AT 91 TO 93 DEGREES. THE TEMP...

Erratic error codes 4521 & 4530 As the title suggests, and referring to previous posts I have made I had boost pressure issues which I was told were on the inlet side. When the car got hot after a good 20 mile drive and gunning it a little it would throw up error codes 4521 & 4530 and...

Hell I am new to the site and in need of advice a couple of days ago came out to my car 2009 e90 lci and when I opened it the rear passenger side door stayed locked ( the thing didn't pop up) and pulling the handle from the inside does nothing either so the door is stuck shut.. Has anybody else...

HI I have a problem with this car that I have just purchased. When closing the roof, the nsr window fully closes but then reopens about 6" just as the roof closure is complete. I have to close the rear window using the normal window buttons. Any idea what is causing it to reopen?? I have had...

Hi all I have a 2004 e46 330ci convertible, this week the dashboard symbol is stating that the passenger door is open when the door is closed, the window is also not going up fully as the door thinks its open. Then centre console lock button also stopped working at the same time. All other...

Evening all - first time poster here although have lurked a plenty many times in the past, hopefully this will change all that! Had a problem with the outer door handle on the rear passenger side not working for a while. It was inconvenient but not an issue to open the passenger front door...

Hi, I am working on a xdf for the usa 413 chip# 623 and 506 chip# 965 dme. I am looking for a address location and possably the correct scaling for the knock sensor tables and also would like to find the threshold table that controls when the dme goes from closed loop to open loop. I have done...

Hi everyone, been a while since I was here...... Really need some help please. Very odd things going on with 840. Batteries had drained (I still have both installed). I charged one and then started her up with a booster pack attached to the battery positiver terminal. That worked and went for...

Hi All, I'm have a strange problem with my 98 740i, when it cold starts it's perfectly fine until it switches into closed loop after a minute or 2 and then get a severe misfire which clears up completely over about a 15 minute period and is perfectly smooth afterwards. Apart from the misfire...

HI All, Can someone shed a light on this please? I have got this BMW 7 E38 2000,4.0iL.. One day I have played with dashboards button and the entire computer (16:4 screen) to see what this BMW got in it. Car was not running. Car was locked by remote control. I have checked the LED light on the...
