Does a BMW e36 1995 have a Catalytic Converter. How do you now that the Catalytic Converter needs replacement in countries where you don't need any yearly checks etc once the car is purchased.

Hi all, I have a ‘58 LCI 535d, and it makes a light 'quacking' noise when you lightly blip the throttle (check video). After some research, it seems like the EGR Pressure Converter needs to be changed (however some videos show that as a regular sound at idle and not related to the throttle)...

Hi all. I am after some help and advice on my car if possible. I've had it for almost a year now and I've noticed a few things recently that I feel I might need to get sorted. But, I'm not 100% sure and didn't want to just throw money at it until I got some advice. The main things I've noticed...

Hi there I'm new here. I just found a loose wire connection as you can see in the top of the attached picture. I cannot figure out where it goes, but I presume it's electrical and connects to some sort of sensor. The wire goes to a T-piece, that goes to the pressure converter on the turbo side...

Looking for a used torque converter for early E60/61 with M54B25 engine. Must be code V81 on the converter. No urgency at the moment. Mine is showing early signs of clutch failure so would like to have another to send away for refurb. Condition not important providing it’s serviceable...

So the irony is that after buying everything to do a full fluid change on the gearbox, including all mechatronic seals etc, I have reason to believe the torque converter is on its way out. Revs seem to spike every second or so at low engine speed, they blip from about 1500 rpm to about 2000...
