Selling a german spec BMW in germany.?

We are currantly stationed in Germany. We have gotten orders to return to the states on short notice. Does anyone know of a dealer that will buy our BMW back from us? I've heard on one in wurzburg but don't know the name. We are located 30 min north of frankfurt.



Selling a german spec BMW in germany.?antispyware



HI, to sell a car such BMW in Germany is quite easy, you can advertise your car at www.mobile.de, www.wetterauer-zeitung.de or bring it to the car dealer next to you, as far as i know you will find a lot of Car dealers in north of Frankfurt such as in Karben, Friedberg or Bad Homburg therefore you don't need to drive extra to Wuerzburg.



if you need help just let me know.

I own a 2002 BMW 330I and i wanted to intergrate my ipod(5th generation) to the factory stereo.?

I understand there's an adapter i can purchase but i would like to know from some one who has actually installed one , cause i keep getting maybe it might from the local BMW DEALER.

This is not possible as a direct plug in, because of the new ipod technology. But you can transmit through a cassette adapter (although you probably don't have a cassete deck) or you can us an FM modulator, available at 90% of electronics stores, including walmart. Don't be surprised though, when the quality from the modulator is horrible. SOME factory stereos after '99 actually do have an RCA input in the back, but this is very rare. If you find that you do have one, an 1/8" stereo plug to RCA adapter would do the trick. I recomend getting an aftermarket stereo from Pioneer or Sony though. They're not that much. Check out crutchfield.com or bestbuy.com

There are many units that will accomplish this task. Not much to it, most will plug into the cigarette lighter and transmit an FM radio frequency to your stereo. Circut city has one called a roadtrip that couldn't be easier to use. The sound quality is not going to be good with any of these units though. If you like sound quality ditch your factory deck and get a pioneer with an ipod adapter.

Difference between 2002-2004 BMW 3Ci-series?

What is the difference between BMW models, specifically, the 330ci, from years 2002-2003-2004. I know from 03-04 the headlights got the angel eyes and the tailights were revamped, but I didn't see any noticeable difference between 2002 and 2003. Are there any modifications in the body measurements and lengths?



Difference between 2002-2004 BMW 3Ci-series?antivirus downloads



The 3-series got a minor revamp for 2004 (new front and rear ends on the coupe, new adaptive headlights, new wheels on all trim levels). Other than that there were some minor changes option-wise: a DVD-based navigation system was made available for the first time in the '03 model (no, it's not iDrive or anything), and Sirius radio debuted for '04. There were no modifications in body measurements/lengths for the entire model run.

Dad just got a bmw z4. What to do about wind messing up my hair?

Is there anything you can buy that prevents the wind from blowing around and messing up my hair?



if anyone has a convertible they know what i'm talking about.



When i was in Germany (bmw capitol, lol) I saw a lot of people -mainly women- with something that looked like glass between the two seats, and i figured that must have something to do with it.



thanks!

well, it is a BMW accessory, why not try asking a BMW dealer.
shave it of because you're too vain!
Get a buzz cut.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I love my moms convertible but i hate my hair after getting in it. We bought a screen that connects across the back of the 2 seats and i find it really helps with the wind. And if you cant get one, just wear your hair up. The people that are saying you are spoiled are just jealous that you have a convertible. Dont let em' get to ya.
Did daddy buy the car for you? If so, just have him buy you a different car that won't mess up your hair while driving down the freeway. I am guessing you are spoiled beyond belief and you get what you want, because you are daddy's little girl. Is this your only worry in life??? Sad.....
Umbrella, cardboard box, saran wrap, or you could just close the top... ;) ha ha enjoy the car!!!!

What kind of a Mechanic is needed for replacing BMW 325 brakes?

I am looking for a mechanic in the Seattle area who can replace my BMW 325 brakes - rotors, pads, sensor. I have the parts - just need the job done.



There are several who say they can do the job and rates range from $25/hr - $95/hr! Thats a wide range.



My questions :



Is the brake replacement job on a BMW very special? or can any mechanic who does brakes for other cars also do it for the BMW?



What are the things I should be careful about? So what kind of a mechanic should I go for?



Thanks in advance!

It is very easy to do it even easier than a Honda but mechanics make it a big deal because it is a BMW and they get afraid even from opening the hood or like to take advantage

any mechanic can do the job .. depends if you want to spend the 95 an hour on one or 25 an hr.....



You can spend nothing on one and do it your-self if you have and take the time to just do it..... Not very complicated if you want to try the project yourself.. Just gets a little dirty because you will have to wash your hands ...... try the link below for insight into attempting the project yourself...

03 350z vs 02 bmw 325ci?

i am looking to buy a car and ended up deciding between the two. 03 nissan 350z manual with 89k miles or a 02 bmw 325ci automatic with 122k miles. the difference is only 4,000$. i don't know which one to get. any opinions would help. which one would you pick?



03 350z vs 02 bmw 325ci?antivirus software



I have a 2005 Nissan 350Z and love it! I'd AVOID the BMW like the bubonic plague, you'll have repair costs that will bring a man to tears.



I never owned a BMW, but I've heard PLENTY of horror stories...



My ONLY concern is that the 2003 is a "first year 350Z" and it did have it's share of minor problems (ALL First year cars have some issues usually)...i.e. tire feathering (premature tire wear, caused by factory wheel alignment issues)....If you can ante up a little extra for an '04 Z, I'd suggest THAT instead...IF not , go for the '03 Z.



Good Luck!!



03 350z vs 02 bmw 325ci?computer virus



Get the 03 Nissan it's a way better car then the BMW.First off it brings Nissan 3.5v6 engine which is one of the top ten engines in the world for like 13 or 14 years in a row now.There is also alot more aftermarket parts available for it and if you have to do any repairs it will be way cheaper then a BMW.My brother had a 3 series and got rid of it after they told him how expensive it was to just change the spark plugs and wires on it I think it was almost a grand.So get the 350z its the better choice and oh yeah the ladies like it too.hope this helps
definetly nissan
Both great cars, cost of ownership and maintaince on the nissan will be much less, also insurance. If you want i guess it depends on wanting a pure sports care (350Z) or a sporty-luxury car. Girls love bimmers though trust me.
I would go with the nissan for many reasons, i used to own a bmw 323i back in 2001 and the car was great untill i started having mechanical problems with it then it started hurting my pockets pretty badly. The nissan 350z with 89k miles will last you a very long time with little or no mechanical problems, Ive owned mine since 2003 and i love my car its the best car ive owned and it still turns lots of heads not to mention the great acceleration and thousands of after market mods at cheap prices. Get the nissan Dont be a fool
You should get a 2003 Nissan 350Z.

Clutch on a 2000 bmw 323i?

ok so the clutch on my 2000 manual 323i is going out... BMW parts are nortoriously expensive. Any idea what it should cost to replace the clutch at a regular auto repair shop (not at the dealership)



Clutch on a 2000 bmw 323i?antivirus



My Acura RSX type-s needed a new clutch. The dealer wanted $1700.



I got it taken care of at a transmission place for around $800. If your flywheel is too worn out to be resurfaced, that'd be another couple hundred dollars. BMW parts are even more expensive - I bet you're looking at least $1000 in repairs.



Clutch on a 2000 bmw 323i?computer



roughly between 6-700 dollars but if i was you i would get it from a dealership especially for a car like that cause you can get the waranty with it. i have a 1995 nissan maxima but total cost of money spen on it so far is 4,000 dollars to modify engine and body and now i always take it to the dealership eventhough its not a up to date car but net worth right now is 15,000 dollars it has even came out on import tunner magazine so for expensive carss the dealership is always numero uno!good luck
It will be about $300 -$400 dollars for clutch. Then the labor rate is $90 an hour for about 5hours.
Not sure what parts cost but call NAPA and they will tell you actual cost also a clutch is about 4-5 hours labor I would guess labor at 90 a hour maybe less.
Well you can get a clutch aftermarket at a local parts store now days. As far as labor goes figure about $500 to 800 at a respectable shop.

Should I buy a BMW?

I recently found a BMW with 43,000 miles on it, in good condition and I was wondering if I should purchase it and what to expect from the car once it picks up some more mileage.



Should I buy a BMW?ariel



I love beamers, great cars, they last, of course knowing a good mechanic for any import also helps on our days; i never had many problems with my 83 320i but then again we do most of the work needed in our garage.



Should I buy a BMW?computers



1988????i wouldnt buy any car 20 yrs old. no abs, no airbags, no way. it must have been driven to church on sunday by a little old attorney.
Lets face it, the car is old and old cars are much closer to needig repairs -- very expensive repairs in the case of a BMW. Personally, I think the car is too old. Better to buy a newer 5 series.
yes i bought one had 36000 great car this is number 6 they are not cheap to work on
I would use CarFax to run a check on it - and if the results look OK, maybe $3000. Does it need tires? When were oxygen sensors last installed? Were the fluids changed? How about the brake pads? How about the brake rotors? It is a nice car with such low miles. The only major problem I can think of is the catalytic converter. At 43,000 miles the engine and trans should be OK for a long time.
Not a 7 series unless you are a good mechanic, plus the parts are hard to come by and expensive for the older ones. Never buy a euro car without service records.
get matience orders, also chk for damage, tires...etc.

Any one got a BMW?

i have a BMW316 its a 1993 model lovely its need tiny work done to it but the engine is sound which iw ill be getting cleaned this month. Is this model too old to show off with?

Does this meani will have to get the car lowered or can i get away with extras for cheaper.

Hello,



Oldies always has a value.If a person cleans and maintains an old car like new...that is really commendable that also shows in interest and love towards to dream machine.Every model has its own charm in BMW.YOU CAN VERY WELL SHOW OFF.
It is a subjective questions, some like new model, some prefer the old model's looks..... so it all depends on you. Its like buying clothing, some may say it suits you but some may say you look old wearing it ..... there is no end to it.
My BMW is in the 3 car garage in my dreams....



Just joking, don't take it to heart... :)
no
No BMW is too old. For every year, it's one of the best cars of that year, and their styling is still cool today.
yes i have a 2006 bmw roadster and its great. No your car isnt too old. I love all the models
It is too old a model! I won't even be seen in an M3 Old '3' series!
i have a 328i 96 , its great, i just changed it to manual and its much faster now.. i even beaten a nissan z ( automatic trans ) :P
If You're planning to show it off, get a nice respray and a set of 5 spoke azev rims.
as a techs point of veiw, the 318 was a huge failure, between the engine issues and everything else, they really dont show the true nature of bmw as they once were, where the cars were reliable at one point. the 316 and 318 were brought over as a started model to get people to buy other models.

What would you want bmw m3 vs nissan 300zx tt?

so like i said above what would you take a bmw m3 or a nissan 300zx tt



plus where do you prefer japanese car or german



What would you want bmw m3 vs nissan 300zx tt?avast



I'll take the Nissan 300ZX tt. I prefer only a couple of Japanese manfuacturers Mazda and Nissan. For German that goes to Mercedes.



What would you want bmw m3 vs nissan 300zx tt?ducati



Well you've created some accuracy questions here. the Nissan 300zx is very different then the 350z in terms of performance. An M3 existed during both Nissan eras so not clear on what you're asking...



Regardless though the M3 will SPANK the Nissan no matter which years. The M3 is only challenge by very few cars like Vette's, Viper's.
deffinately the m3, not a doubt. It has more class, it is faster, it handles better, it looks better, and it has a back seat.
BMW M3. personal preference. I find them to be made of better quality materials than japanese cars. I don't however like all of the electronic crap that the germans stick in their cars. BMW did get another best engine of the year award for like the sixth consecutive time though.
BMW all the way, the new M3 is, in my eyes perfect, 4lt 8300RPM 0-60 4.5sec, BMW handling, I don't even know why you have even asked this question- 300zx is a lada in comparision, check this link if you have doughts.

Can i afford a BMW 3 WITH 10$/HOURE?

should i get it or a bad choice...i realy love BMWs and yes i do work hard for my money. but i also need to save money, so hopefully the BMW is not gona bankrupt me.



Can i afford a BMW 3 WITH 10$/HOURE?bmw



The answer in short: "When pigs fly".



But seriously, if you only make $800 a month, you should be thinking of better ways to save/invest that money than to splurge it on a car you CANNOT afford.



Keep your love for BMWs till when you finish college and when you have a real job that pays much more...

I just want to know where you find the BMW 3 with a 10 dollar whore? Did that come with the car? I really think you should feel like you can afford the car. But don't get me wrong some how you can earn more money and buy better over time? BMW means BURN MY WALLET! if repairs are necessary proper maintence is the key.
I wouldn't if I was you because you also have to remember the insurance witch can be more than your payment because they will consider that a luxury car
In 1941 a new chevy cost about $900.00. That was a workman's yearly wages.

Need help in 04 bmw?

i just bought an 04 bmw 330ci and need to figure out how to get the rear view mirror to adjust automatically at night. and how does that red button under it works?



Need help in 04 bmw?cafe racer



The red button underneath the main rear-view mirror has nothing to do with anything, it's part of the alarm system, basically a deterrent. And the rear view in these cars is electrochromatic which basically means it does it by it's damn self. If you need to adjust your mirror then you simply have to move it. Any other issues consult your car manual or go to a BMW dealer



Need help in 04 bmw?free anti virus



If the veh did not come with the auto dim feature you need to go to parts and get the mirror that does and have installed by bmw service department. If you are not sure if it has it or not here are some tips. look at the center top of the mirron if it has a whole that look out of place that is the sensor and if you are driving at night and things look green in it that is the tint. So if you see the whole and don't see green its broken. No hole means you don't have it.



the red button under it is just for the alarm. It will flash when you lock the veh also you can twist it is you don't have the auto dim feature to tilt the mirror so you don't get blinded by the vehs behind you.
well i would suggest going to the dealer with the auto tinting for your rear view mirror function, and the red thing under the mirror is just a false alarm system. It is the same in that model if you have an actual alarm system (but the car will beep when you lock it) if you dont have an alarm, then it's just a fake alarm and will most likely deter car thieves. Oh yeah make sure to tell your insurance that it is a actual alarm so you will get rebates
You push it. lol

Why are Mercedes and BMW that cost over $70k new so awful in resale value?????

I've found 2000 MB S500 which originally sold for close to $100k going for under $15k now. And 2002 BMW 745i which originally sold for $80 going for around $20k.



What gives? They are all in great condition and around 80k miles.

simple German cars are unreliable we have a mercesdes 1993 400SEL we bought it new for like $100,000 and now its worth about $8,000
Most people who buy Mercedes and BMW's have the means and are willing to pay a premium for a brand new car. The key stat that you included was the relatively high mileage (80K). This is pretty high for cars of this caliber and turns off a lot of buyers for these premium cars.



Also, you are referring to cars that are now close to 7 or 8 years old. I bet if you were to look at BMW's or Mercedes that are only a few years old, the resale value would be much higher.
Those resale values don't sound good, they might be very high mileage cars or have been in accidents.

What kind of BMW or Audi?



It depends on the model.



The Audi TT is better for a chick magnet than a BMW Z4.



The BMW 3 series is a better magnet than Audi A4.



The Audi A5 is a better magnet than the BMW 335i.



The Audi A6 and A8 is better than the BMW 5 and 7 series.
BMW, by far. I am 19, and I bought my e36 bmw when I was 18, and it has gotten me plenty of attention! Audi's are kind of chick cars...



*** Any 3 series BMW, and if you have the cash, get an M3!
guy before me,,dude,, i agree, but i think BMW 5 and 7 get more than A6 and A8



and for a car,, i think a 3 series would do,, they are not that expensive, maybe u can get a 2004,, it wont take as much for maintenance, that if u have any money left over,,

I have a 2002 BMW M3 and the coils just went bad for the 2nd time?

I have a 2002 BMW M3 and the coils just went bad for the 2nd time?downloads



Go back to the dealership for another repair, it is still under warranty if it was replaced under warranty and the problem came back then you likely got a defective part and it should be covered under the factory warranty, if you are told no way then you should consider calling a Lemon Law attorney, Krohn and Moss is the best in the business you can find them on the Internet under Lemon Law. Lemon Law applies to New and Used vehicles. God Bless



I have a 2002 BMW M3 and the coils just went bad for the 2nd time?house call



Hi JJ,



If your are close to Zane A,pls pay him a visit.pls get his opinion.



I believe that your main relay or the ecu could also be the culprit.



This time when u go to dealers,pls bring your warranty booklet,even the warranty is expired.



Highlight to them the repairs done and ask them to get to the root of the problem. just changing a coil will not help.



It could have beeen the main relay was defective,or the ECU when u had your coils changed b4.



Is possible to believe that there is some electrical fault/defect in the car wiring.



The bosch coils lasts for many years.(not two to three years)



In the event if they refuse to foot the bill,then u have to send them a notice thru lawyers citing lemon law.



Be firm with them dealers and get them attend to your problems at cost to you.



wish u all the best.

I cant start my BMW GS100 (1988). Can anyone Help?

I'm doing up a BMW gs100 (E Reg - 1988) for a mate but I can't get it started! It has been sat for quite a long time out doors. I have put fresh fuel in, changed the spark plugs, and checked the float bowls. The carbs and jets appear clean! When i turn it over it kind of coughs... It just woun't run! It sounds like the starter is fine too!



Would be grateful of any suggestions!



I cant start my BMW GS100 (1988). Can anyone Help?ducati



The battery might be dead. You should try jumper cables. jump it from a car that is off, I've heard you might damage the selenoid if the car is running.

~first thing to check is make sure bike has compression.



~you might also have clogged jets, but if carb is spotless like you said, they might be worn and will have to be replaced.



~if jets are o.k. check to see if float is responding correctly



~manifold gasket should be intact and sealed really well, to be sure, take off carb, replace or gunk up existing gasket. The gasket could have been damaged when taking off carb. Also make sure its lined up correctly... have had this problem many times on one of my 1986 xr's recently



~make sure idle is set right



~gasoline has to get to carb in order to run so make sure tube is not being pinched or clogged

2001 integra gs-r vtec vs 1999 bmw 325i !!?

well i have a 2001 integra gsr vtec and my cousin has a bmw 325i witch one will win in a race!!



please dont start talking smack and no wanna be smart commnets saying **** when its false do ur research first like last time some idiot said "you cant beat it! its a 200+ horsepower 6 cylinder car" hes an idiot cause google his car 1999 bmw 325i horsepower and you will find out that idiont didnt know what he was talking about!! it bearly had like 170 or so!!



2001 integra gs-r vtec vs 1999 bmw 325i !!?firewall



You went to great lengths to talk about smart answerers and how people don't know what they are talking about. So please tell us what car your cousin has because there was no 1999 325i.



So are you talking about the 168HP 323, which does have a 2.5L engine, or the 190HP 328? Coupe or sedan, auto or stick? The Acura has 128 ft-lbs of torque, vs the BMWs close to 200, more or less depending on what engine. The Acura is about 500 lbs less. My bet would be the BMW off the line, and probably in the 1/4 mile too. FWD will kill this race. The harder you accelerate, the less traction you'll have. The harder he does, the more he'll have. I've driven some 325s, and they are pretty quick for what they have under the hood. They make good use of torque.



You might win in a situation where you would be redlined more, like a 50-70 pull. Then the VTEC would be working for you, but the double VANOS is working for him too, starting at lower RPMs. It's not always about peak power, but how long it puts down usable power. In my M3, I can feel a bump from the double VANOS as low as 1800.

What is better e39 BMW or Audi a4?

Which is a better car overall.



1996-2002 E39 bmw (525i) 6cyl



1996-2002 Audi A4 1.8t (4cyl turbo)



Which one should I get considering gas prices maintenance, reliability and everything.



I have a mechanic friend who is a manger at a German car shop so he can hook me up with inexpensive repairs.



Please give reasons for your answers.



What is better e39 BMW or Audi a4?free adware remover



It really is up to your preference of the two. Make sure you take your mechanic friend to test drive both of the to make sure they are in good shape. They are both pretty reliable vehicles that get similar gas mileage, depending on how you drive them. Again maitenence should be around the same cost on oil changes and other basic maitenence, but its just a gamble on weather they will break down. Also depending on where you are buying them from, consider the warranties available with them. Spend a little extra money for an extended warranty, b/c it could save you ALOT in the long run.

The better of the 2 evils is the BMW, however save yourself the headache and the wallet damage, and buy AMERICAN!!There is no cheap maintenance on either car even parts are outrageous.

Need help on a BMW engine faults?

Hi I have a 1997 BMW 328 covertible I was checking my engine fault and came across two faults. 1 was "secondary air system fow too low Cyl #4-6". 2nd was EVAP large leak detected.For the guys and gals that work on their car would a o2 sensor cause these faults? and is it easy to fix the two faults meantoned by a novice?



Thanks



Need help on a BMW engine faults?free antivirus download



I doubt that there is already a secondary air pump (system) in your car. So your fault for the secondary air to me is "suspect". Tell us what scanner you used and the actual fault codes you got. Better still, tell us the last 7 of your car's VIN. I never recommend replacing anything without a proper diagnosis. If your 02 sensor is bad, you would get a fault for the 02 sensor itself so replace it at your own risk.



Evap large leak can mean so many things. Leaks in any of the following can cause such a fault--- tank cap, filler tube, hoses, charcoal canister, expansion tank, fuel tank, vent valve, pipes and hoses of the evap system all the way to the intake manifold. Most of the time, the fault is due to the gas cap not properly secured/tightened. Just re-set your gas cap and clear the fault. The evap system has no relation whatsoever with the 02 sensors.



ADDITIONAL COMMENTS....



You did not mention specifically what particular Bavarian Autosport code reader you used. But anyways, it is obviously not an OBD2 code reader, for the fault codes you mention are not OBD codes. I would suggest that you have your car scanned at Autozone or Pepboys with a regular scanner.



Then repost the findings.

A 2001 toyota corolla for a 1997 bmw 318ti can i make that trade?

i want to see if i can make that trade and the value of the corolla is more than what the bmw cost the bmw is $5,000 and the corollas value in trade in is $5,313. what should i do? i want to get that car quick



A 2001 toyota corolla for a 1997 bmw 318ti can i make that trade?free antivirus



The BMW 318ti has a low market value because it did not sell well. It's truncated hatchback design was not too pleasing to the eye, and it was too expensive for the lack of power. Granted it was rear wheel drive and handled ok. But it was too expensive for what you paid.



The market value for the corolla is higher because it can be sold easily. It is a more reliable and practical car.



Most people and dealers would not trade out like that. It is possible if the dealer or person realizes that they could probably sell the Corolla for more money (bigger market).



I am not sure why you would want that particular BMW model...



You do realize that major replacement parts for the BMW will cost more than the value of the car.



If you think that it is faster or performs better than the Corolla then take a look at the specs...



The 2001 Corolla weighs about the same or less than the 97 BMWti. It has almost the same h.p. giving up only 13 h.p. to the Bimmer. And it gets better gas milage than the Bimmer.



Sport Compact Car Magazine once outfitted the Corolla with TRD shocks, springs, muffler, intake and short throw shifter. They posted over 70 mph going through the slalom. and pulled big numbers in lateral gs. (can't remember off hand). But the numbers compared well with bigger sport cars.

Changing car insurance from full coverage to liability on BMW lease, will BMW detect it?

I just completed a lease assumption process on a BMW and they required full coverage (100/300) for my car insurance. Problem is, I have a few tickets on my record and also for some reason I require an SR22, so for full coverage insurance I am paying quite a lot.



I would like to switch to liability only and just take the chance if something happens to the car (knowing I will have to pay for all damages), but I am not sure if BMW checks periodically whether or not I have the proper insurance coverage.



Does anyone know if they check, and if the do check and find me with only liability, what would/could they do?



Thanks in advance.



Changing car insurance from full coverage to liability on BMW lease, will BMW detect it?free spyware remobal



Yes they check. They call your insurance company periodically and request the information. Sometimes they want it from the insurance company in writing and sometimes verbally. But the answer.... yes they will know so make sure you insure the vehicle to what was agreed upon @ the lease signing.



Changing car insurance from full coverage to liability on BMW lease, will BMW detect it?kawasaki



BMW financial services would definitely be more concerned with the comprehensive and collision (full coverage) than they would be about the limit of liability. If you have liability only the insurance company will "force place" insurance onto your vehicle and add it to your monthly installment and believe me their rates are not pretty. If you have the full coverage on the vehicle but your limit of liability is just lower than the 100/300/50 that is what BMW requires your insurance company may have something called "additional interest coverage" which is a complimentary coverage that states that the limit of 100/300/50 applies to your policy for the benefit of BMW financial services only, and the lower limits for yourself- you would be charged the lower rates
Yes, they will check. When they find insurance not in force, they will buy it for you and bill you for it. It's very expensive, so it's best to keep the policy active yourself.
Look aroud Here,You should find some useful tips for your question.Good Luck.http://car-insurance.easyideas4u.info/ne...
The insurance company will notify the leaseholder if you drop the coverage.
the insurance company will notify bmw.
since bmw is listed ont htitle they will be notified as soon as you do-- they are listed as owners in a way

Who would win? 1983 mazda rx7 turbo or a 89 bmw 325?

this girl i know just got a bmw and thinks that bmw's are faster than anything and i was tring to tell her that my rx7 would beat her bmw just because of the weight diference, and the aerodynamics. but she don't believe me and i cant race her because she lives too far away. so what do you think? my bet is on my rx7



Who would win? 1983 mazda rx7 turbo or a 89 bmw 325?free spyware remover



The rx7 would kick her butt. They think they are faster because they spent more money on their car, well they are wrong.



Who would win? 1983 mazda rx7 turbo or a 89 bmw 325?ktm



go to some enthusiast sites or car magazine sites and find some period test times IE road and track, car and driver bmw and rx7 sites it should be easy to compare the data. even the library
Straight line drag, the RX7 would win due to better acceleration. But the 325's 171 Bhp gives it the edge on top speed, compared to the RX7's 117 Bhp. In other words, you'd get an early lead, but you'd loose it in around ten to fifteen seconds.
i say the bmw, my dad just bought the 350xi coupe and it drives way better then my brothers mazda rx-8, and the rx-8 is tuned up
A 325 can't take my Miata.



Don't know if a RX7 can.



But some times it is not the car but how crazy the driver is. The craziest driver wins 9 times out of 10.



I was almost certified insane, so maybe that is why not too many people pass me.

Left the sunroof open when it rained in my 2007 BMW 328i. Need help?

Yesterday night I left sunroof open on my BMW and it rained. I spent the whole day removing the water hoping it would dry out. Yesterday i was able to unlock/lock the car with the keyless keychain but i could not start it and thus could not close the sunroof. This morning I went back to the car in order to try and start it again and now the car will not unlock with the keyless keychain. I tried to manually unlock the door with the key in the drivers door. I was able to unlock it but now the alarm keeps going off. What do I need to do and I am hesitant to call BMW as they will charge me a fortune? Is this something that I can solve, another mechanic, or do I have to go to BMW?



Left the sunroof open when it rained in my 2007 BMW 328i. Need help?free spyware



For starters, make sure you close the sun roof before you leave your car. Sorry about that, I just could not help it.



I suggest that you cover the open sun roof with a plastic sheet and put an electric heater inside, at low heat, for at least 24 hours. This should dry it out.



Do not seal the plastic tight as it will trap and hold the moisture inside.



Good luck.



Left the sunroof open when it rained in my 2007 BMW 328i. Need help?live update



German engineering? My Jeep has been in the rain many times with no top and still runs fine. Sorry your car got wet. Disconnect battery to disable alarm, leave car doors open in the sun to dry inside if car is in secure location. Call BMW dealer and see if they have any ideas about fixing your car. Good luck.
You do not need to start the car to operate the windows/sunroof. As long as the key is in the "ON" position (where all the warning lights come on) is good enough.



You now have a serious problem because all your carpeting and upholstery may be soaking wet (depending how hard it rained). And you may have other associated electronic problems.



Don't take any chances with this kind of damage. Give yourself a good kick, and send it to the dealer.



If this damage is severe enough and isn't done right, your car may have similar damage as a "flood car", and you'll lose A LOT of money in resale.



Your alarm may be disarmed by putting the key in the ignition and turning it to the ON position.

Is the Mazda 3 engine the same as in the BMW 3 series?

My girlfriend claims the Mazda 3 engine and the BMW 3 engine are the same, I don't believe her, as I know Mazda is owned (partially owned?) by Ford, and to my knowledge, neither has anything to do with BMW, but she is absolutely adamant that the Mazda 3 engine is made by BMW



Is the Mazda 3 engine the same as in the BMW 3 series?hijack this



They are nothing alike. The Mazda 3 engine is developed by ford it comes in several version starting from a 1.3 liters to a 2.3. I have a 2007 BMW 3 series and it comes standard with a 3.0 (In Europe it comes with a 2.0 but not in the US) liters engine, something that Mazda 3 does not even offer.



Here is a link to the information on the Mazda 3 engine information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MZR_e...



BMW and Mazda are nothing alike!



Is the Mazda 3 engine the same as in the BMW 3 series?liveupdate



The Mazda 3 engine is a relatively old FORD engine design that has no real ties to BMW.



Its one of the 'new' Duratecs that have been available worldwide for years, but in the US they were originally called Zetecs. Due to the issues of the Zetec in the Focus (mostly from the manufacturing being done in Mexico) theyve changed the designation to Duratec worldwide now.



The closest link comes through Cosworth. They have worked with BMW in the past, and they are almost entirely responsible for the Duratec style engines.

Should i buy a cadillac cts 04 or a 07 bmw 3 series? i save 5 grand buying the cadillac?

Should i buy a cadillac cts 04 or a 07 bmw 3 series? i save 5 grand buying the cadillac?matchless



Either you are getting ripped off on the Cadillac, or it is the CTS-V version. Reliability is iffy, build quality is not up to BMW specs and that motor (CTS-v) tends to rip up the transmission and driveline (bad axle hop).



The BMW probably still has some warranty on it, as well as total car care all the way thru 50k miles. It will not be as fast, but is built better and is a lot more refined. They also hold their value a lot better.



I would do the BMW, or perhaps even look at an Infiniti M35/M45 as a good compromise vehicle (may still be too expensive though). Maybe even hold out for an 05/06 BMW with some warranty and a bigger motor and more options.
I wouldnt buy that Cadillac. There are some quality issues on the 1st Gen CTS's. I would go with the BMW, it's nicer, better handling, and its a chick magnet. If you get a BMW you wont have to buy rims.

We took the cars out to the strip, a Lincoln LS V8 vs. a BMW 323i V6. Should the BMW have one?

Everyone said my BMW should have one and it kept up pretty good, at the most 5 seconds behind. But they were saying that something is wrong with the car because its a BMW and it should have beat the Lincoln. I was telling them the BMW wasnt meant to be drivin standard though it only has three gears the rest is automatic and the lincoln is prob. a 5 speed. So is it true should the BMW have won because that other car two more speeds and two more cylinders, shouldnt that make all the difference?



We took the cars out to the strip, a Lincoln LS V8 vs. a BMW 323i V6. Should the BMW have one?hp



The Lincoln has 82 more horsepower and a 5-speed automatic transmission. I think it weighs about 700 lbs more, but not enough to offset its superior power. You might beat one on a winding road, but both cars are governed to 130 mph, and the Lincoln will get there faster from any speed you might be running.



We took the cars out to the strip, a Lincoln LS V8 vs. a BMW 323i V6. Should the BMW have one?mcaffee



Your question is not worded clearly. But the BMW depending on age usully would beat a lincoln. Although there are tons of variables that come along with it. # of passengers, drivers ability, car age, car matinance, etc. etc.

I want to go into the USMC and be a mechanic for BMW, what should I do?

I am 17, currently a senior in high school, and also taking an auto class at North Metro. I am also in the DEP for the USMC, I am scheduled to got to basic June 1st, 08(active duty). I don't know if I should do 20 yrs in the corps and retire, or get a job working for BMW after tech school. I know I would make a lot more money working for BMW cause the car industry is so short on workers(my teacher said he made 80grand his 3rd year as a certified mechanic), but at the same time I think I would like the lifestyle of the USMC a bit more. Think I could retire at the age of 38 from the corps, and then began a career working for BMW or for whatever other company I want to work for? Will the USMC pay for auto tech school? If so how long would it take me to complete school while on active duty? If I were to get a mos for aviation mechanics in the corps could I just retire and work for bmw with out any schooling? What are my odds of being severely wounded(arm or leg blown off) or killed if my MOS is aviation mechanics and I serve 20yrs/? and for 4 years? Any advice appreciated



I want to go into the USMC and be a mechanic for BMW, what should I do?husqvarna



First of all, I absolutely do not believe that a mechanic with three years experience is making 80k per year at a dealership. I come from a family of mechanics and a journeyman union mechanic probably makes between $40k - 50k a year. That's with somewhere around 12 - 18 years experience.



Give the Corps your four years and see if it looks like something you want to hang with. If you retire after 20 and you'll have good benefits for the rest of your life and you can make a career change if you like.



I'm not sure what the current college reimbursement program is for the military but it should pay for trade school as well as traditional college.



An aviation mech MOS will be safer than being a grunt. Mech's will generally be at an airfield or base rather than pushing the front lines.



Either way, thanks in advance for your service.

It sounds like you need a front end alignment.



What is wrong with my bmw steering because it turns left whilst driving?microsoft



u need ur alignment fixed because u screwed it up by going over a big hole
low air pressure
its called an alignment, and most shops will do it for around 60 dollars..... yes, even on a bmw
U either have low air pressure [on one or more tires]OR the Caster got knocked out of it's setting [wheel alignment OR U have a RADIAL TIRE PULL - IF U switch the 2 front tires side to side %26 it pulls the other way - THEN U have a Radial tire pull !
when it goes to one side dont it mean the wheel bearings are going on one side, dont hold me to it but get it checked out anyway, I'm no mechanic either but when my car was having an MOT recently i borrowed my sisters car and this happened , and it turned out to be the wheel bearings on the right hand side , good news is that it doesn't cost that much to put right.
change your steering rack
your beamer may be a Democrat ... trade it in !
if your a mechanic you should know that your alignment sounds bad. If it drifts to the left while driving that's usually what it is. You can get that done for a fairly decent price at any auto shop
you prolly need an allignment
switch your front tires side to side and see if it pulls the other way. If it does, it's your tires. Also, make sure you have to proper air pressure. Check for sticking brakes also. A dragging brake on one side will cause a pull. Check your tie rods and ball joints for slop. Did you do a 4 wheel alignment on it? You may have a problem with the rear.
You probably need a wheel alignment. Not too much $
frozen caliper



bent tie rod



axle
sounds like it needs an alignment...or power steering fluid
You most likely have a bad tire. Rotate the tires front to back and see if the pulling persists. If not, save for two new tires.

I get $49.95



that should be all you should need, unless something is bent or loose in the suspension/steering.

Is it worth getting my BMW CD player fixed?

I recently bought a 2003 BMW 325ci. The car is lovely and drives like a dream, however my one complaint is the CD player (just a simple in-dash, single disc factory player) skips EVERY CD I've put into it, whether it be a real CD or a burned CD. I bought a cleaner kit, thinking it was dirty, but that hasn't done much to help. I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be horribly expensive to fix or if it is worth just buying a new one? And are aftermarket units going to have a lot of compatibility problems, such as if I went and bought an Alpine or something at Best Buy?



Is it worth getting my BMW CD player fixed?internet security software



Well the only two helpful options I have for you are:



1. Buy a new BMW factory CD player off EBay Because if you buy it from BMW it will probably cost a fortune (about $500-$1000).



2. Buy the Alpine aftermarket CD player it probably will not brake like the The one you have in now (Just saying I don't like the way aftermarket stuff looks in Luxury cars)



Is it worth getting my BMW CD player fixed?moto guzzi



I recently bought a 1989 535i and it had a 6 disc CD player in the trunk. An amp was located there too. Neither worked nor did the radio/tape player. When I was done I had a Sony CD player and radio that accepted my ipod. I get way more music on my ipod than I could ever get on a few Cd's, and it sounds great. The power from the Sony is more than the old amp and they put in some crossovers on the speakers.



It is not over the top, OK, it is not even near the top, but I like the ipod hook up.
you can add a cd changer or ipod to your factory radio



http://www.oemautosound.com/c-144-bmw-pr...
Yes it is. Especially if you are a lover of music. What I would suggest is maybe even to go ahead and treat yourself to a whole new deck!
Most GOOD aftermarket cd players are better than factory anyway. I would chhange. You can get a wireing harness that plugs right into your factory plug. You just wire it to your new radio and plug it in.You may need a installation kit to fill in some empty spaces.

well... sounds like your brother was not too concerned with the car or he would not have given it away. he would have gotten it fixed. now the neighbor has a car that works... your brother will be repaid with blessings ... but no he should not receive the car or money from the neighbor... a gift is a gift is a gift
Neither..... Your brother GAVE it to him and didn't ask for anything.
The neighbor should enjoy his new car. Your bro should have had it checked out before giving it away. His bad.
Neither. The neighbor got it to run so, if anything, if you want it back you need to pay the neighbor IF he wants to give it back, not the other way around.
It would be nice if the neighbor offered to compensate your brother. But there is no obligation.

Are subs available for 2000 bmw 323i?

You can tap into the rear speaker wires using a LOC (line output converter) to convert the speaker signal to RCA.



There is no need to change the radio.



run power and remote wires, ground the amp, hook up the RCAs and the speakers and you are ready to go.



Are subs available for 2000 bmw 323i?network



go to your local best buy and say this exact statement, " i need a line out line in converter to be hooked up to my stock radio deck with the rca cables being run out the passenger side so i can hookup a amp and subs to" they will be like sure this is what you need and they will hand you a 20$ piece of hardware that convert the signal from the stereo to a signal that is readable to the amp so it can output the power. or you can just give bestbuy or your local car tunes or mickey shores or w.e car audio specialists are in your area and tell them that and they can hook it all up for you for a cheap price if you already have the subs and amps.
wow dude just buy a 50 dollar radio at frys, if you care so much about spending the dough for subwoofer/amp/enclosure and want good sound or even the loud bass then buying a new radio shouldve been the first step.
ok what the guy told you is right kind of your stereo has a anti theft system so if its disconnected you need the code to turn it back on otherwise it wont turn back on so what you need is to tap into the rear speaker wires using a LOC (line output converter) to convert the speaker signal to RCA. you dont even need to touch the stereo just connect the unit to the rear speakers, the amp is installe normal and the remote you connect it to the unit and your all set as for subs you can put 1 or 2 what ever you want subs arent made specifically for a certain car so good luck

Fuel pump in a 97 BMW 528; how much should it cost to replace?

My car conked out on Monday morning on the way to work (lucky me!). It's a 1997 BMW 528i, and the mechanic tells me it's the fuel pump. I prefer to have repair work done at the dealership, but I'm afraid I may not be able to afford the dealer's charges this time.



Our family mechanic gave me a price for the part and the labor, but this is my first time coordinating repair work after my separation from my husband and I want to make sure I'm not being taken advantage of.



How much should this cost me?



Fuel pump in a 97 BMW 528; how much should it cost to replace?live update



For a 1997 BMW 528i :



Fuel pump assembly: 228.99



Fuel filter -------------- : $27.30



labor (2hrs) ------------ 100.00



total - about 350.00.



Your looking at more than 500.00 if you go to a dealer for the same service



Fuel pump in a 97 BMW 528; how much should it cost to replace?norten



I would go with the independent shop if they are installing a new fuel pump rather than a remanufactured pump that isn't necessarily designed for your car. Ask the shop about the parts options and whether they can install a new pump. This assumes you are going to keep the car and want the problem fixed once and for all!
Call around to see what the part costs. Remember, the mechanic marks up a bit sometimes if he is charged a delivery charge.



Then call the dealership and ask how many billable hours go with the job and then plug in the hourly rate the mechanic charges. If after adding the part price and labor together (along with various environmental shop charges) you come close to what he quoted, then you should be OK.

Both the above SUV are priced same with similarly equipped ( i.e. $65K ), the main difference is the dumper to dumper warranties on the BMW for 4yrs/ 50K miles.



Are there any known issues with the model



Which SUV is better value for the money? BMW X5 4.8 Mercedes-Benz ML550? 2008 model?malware



If I had to choose, I would avoid both models. According to the consumer affairs database, both 2008 models suffer from faulty electrical components. I think the Mercedes offers better utility but I am not impressed with the look. The BMW looks much better but don't expect to see more than 14.6 miles to a gallon- thats the average reported by owners with the 4.8 litre.



I would highly recommend the Cadillac Escalade or Lexus LX570. Both are superior in quality and long term reliability, with Lexus placing 1st, Cadillac 2nd, BMW a distant 16th and Mercedes 18th out of 44 manufactures in a long term reliability study.



I personally drive a 2007 Escalade ESV and love it. Its classy, very roomy, can tow my 8000 lb boat without breaking a sweat and is not that bad on gas considering it weighs 6000lbs and has 407 HP and runs 0-60 ini 6.1 seconds. Also, Car and Driver was very impressed with their long term model which according to them, had the lowest operating cost of any manufacturer they ever tested.

Im torn between an 2002 BMW 525i and A 2003 Jaguar X-type.?

Which one should I go for. Iv narrowed it down to these two.



2002 BMW 525i and 2003 Jaguar X-Type



Im torn between an 2002 BMW 525i and A 2003 Jaguar X-type.?matchless



Get the jag.



BMW's are great but they look like every other car (due, admittedly, to everyone copying BMW)



Jags are utterly unique and unfailingly elegant.



Im torn between an 2002 BMW 525i and A 2003 Jaguar X-type.?norton 2008



BMW. Jaguars are pieces of shi*t.
Jag, It's better looking and less of a hassel. I see more BMW's on the side of the road then I do Fords and thats saying something.
A five series is very different than the X-type. Both are large vehicles but the BMW is a luxury vehicle first in the five series and a sport sedan second. While the X-type is a Sport sedan and luxury together. They are both similar in cost of maintenance very high, but if you are considering them you have the money anyways. IF you want the same enjoyment of a BMW as you would from a Jaguar get the Seven series, a bit more money but you will get a larger vehicle as well. For the money apples to apples there is none here but The Jaguar is superior. Looks the BMW has but is it worth the money for what you are getting? that is a question you have to ask your self
The BMW!!!! THe Jaguar is a very poorly designed and built car, also remember it is built by ford. It is known to have multiple mechanical problems, even at early mileage. The BMW is the exact opposite, known to last for a very long time with minimal problems. Also I believe the engine in the 5 series is the 6cylinder twin turbo that is also in the 335i, which is one of the best engines ever built!!



Good Luck!
Both are top brands with a very high degree of customer loyalty. Personally, I would go for the BMW 525i, which I have known is not as temperamental as the Jaguars. Further, the BMW has an excellent service network. In our part of the world the BMWs hold a higher resale value as compared to the other brand.
both have the speed, and whatever. which color do you like more?, which has the better engine and better history as far as parts? I think jags keep their prestige longer than bmws
I think you should test drive them both before you make a decision. they are 2 very diffrent cars one is RWD the other is AWD. Try them both and choose the one you like.

Why won't my 1997 BMW 318i idle?

I have a 1997 BMW 318i. I was away and left it parked on my garage for over 2 months. Now it starts, but the engine won't idle. I have never really had any major problems with this car. My dad told me to check all the vacuum lines but I saw nothing wrong. While it was parked in the garage my brother would start it and move it out to access things in the garage every once in awhile. Any ideas? It is a 5 speed model.

check the air filter gas filter inline undo the batt ground side and reset the computer wait a few min before putting the cable back on the batt post. other than that did your bro do anything to the car drive it while you were gone and put bad gas in it put a can of dry gas in the tank and see if maybe you have mositure in the tank that will dry it up some other than that get a good bmw shop and install the computer to get the codes from it to see what is wrong it could be no sig to the ingition etc. this is one of these what happen while i was gone problems there called ghosts dont know but they came and did something while i was gone now it wont run good luck

I'm guessing it's going to need some money spent on conversion. I doubt anything like that can go into the tank, and it will just work.
I'm clear on whether or not this will screw up a diesel engine but I do know that you can use pure vegetable oil as fuel without converting anything.
Yes you car run SVO strait vegetable oil, on your car. You WILL have to make a secondary fuel system thoug. When you start the car it will have to start on diesel, then you can run the SVO, It works best if you heat it. then you will have to run diesel for a few minutes before you shut the engine down. if you don't run it like this the svo will gum up your injectors,pump,filter,lines etc... Its Much easier/safer to just make the bio-diesel. its fairly easy to.
it will not work with vegetable oil alone.unless u change injector nozzles and fit a heater.There is no room to do this in your car trunk.Further u have to start with diesel and then run veg.oil and again flush the line b4 stopping the car.

Whats the difference between the BMW series 1 through 7?

Just wondering what the difference between the BMW series are, is it that a series 7 is better than a series 1, and what sort of difference are we talking about?



Whats the difference between the BMW series 1 through 7?norten



1 Series = smallest + cheapest



3 Series = smaller + more expensive



5 Series = midsize + even more expensive



and so on...



1 Series: Sub-compact hatchback which is currently sold only in Europe. It's a tiny little commuter car with your base BMW features. It's also pretty low on luxury. Cheapest BMW to purchase.



3 Series: Compact-Midsize sedan. BMW's bread-and-butter vehicle. Awesome handling, four doors and is a competitor with the Lexus IS, Acura TL, Audi A4 and Infiniti G35, among others. Turbocharged engine that makes 300 hp is an option. Price starts reasonably in the mid-30s but gets really high with all those options like navigation and sport package.



5 Series: Midsize sedan which is competitor to Merc E-Class, Audi A6, Infiniti M and Lexus GS. This is for people who want BMW handling + functionality. Base engines puts out 215 hp, but more expensive models like the 550i make 360 hp. Luxurious interior, but once again, is extremely pricey if you add those options.



6 Series: Full-size luxury coupe or convertible, starts in the mid-70s for the coupe and low-80s for the convertible. Navigation and all those creature comforts are standard as well as a 360 hp engine. Is a competitor to Merc CLK and SL, Lexus SC and Cadillac XLR.

What's the difference between BMW models? (what do all the numbers mean?)?

I'm searching for a used BMW and I see 525i, 325i, 328i, 325i, 318i etc etc. I'm sure it's engine related, but what's the difference?



What's the difference between BMW models? (what do all the numbers mean?)?nortin



BMW has four primary lines, the 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series cars. The first number (as in 325i) represents the model line, the second two numbers (25) represents the the engine displacement, in this case 2.5 liters. A 745 is a seven series car with a 4.5 liter motor.



What's the difference between BMW models? (what do all the numbers mean?)?pc security



the first digit always represent the model, as in 3 series, 5 series, etc. in the past 15 years bwm has produced the 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 series. the last two digits are meant to denote a the grade of the vehicle as compared to the others in its series. often the 30 will have a 3.0 liter engine, but not always. currently the 325 has 2.8 liter engine previously the 545/745 had a 4.4 liter engine. suffice it to say, the higher the number, the bigger, more powerful the engine.



bmw chose to use a different scheme with the Z3/Z4, X3, X5 and earlier the Z1 and Z8. no engine reference except in the accompanying badging on the vehicle.

Its all about money. A typical Detroit autoworker earns over $30/hour, plus major medical benefits and pension benefits which add up to over $75/hour. By building plants in primarily southern states, they can avoid such large worker costs. The typical worker in those plants make $18-$25/hour with a less generous medical plan and a 401K instead of a pension plan. The total is less than half of a Detroit worker's total.
so Tennessee and South Carolina are white collar states?
None of these answers capture the whole story.



Half of the answer, is OBVIOUSLY that the South and even more so, corrupt, third-world, U.S.-sponsored regimes abroad pose better opportunities STRICTLY in terms of higher profit margins. But the question also crucially points out that there are hard-working, ethical folks in Michigan who also served as the original source of some of the first auto-making factories in the world. So why do they have to suffer from profit-grubbing corporations, the question is also asking? No one has answered this so far.

Some people do not agree with an extended warranty but I'm sure someone with a luxury car has a story to tell about how a warranty save them lots of money. Hope this helps...good luck.
/ The Extended Warranty is a great thing for the car.



Other than piece of mind and savings, it adds resale value and automatically qualifies the car as a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle (which puts more money in your pocket if and when you decide to sell).

You can get them everywhere for about $400-500. They certainly are brighter so if it's your goal - you should upgrade. I personally am about to put a more native alternative on my 4Runner - see link below. They are not only much cheaper but consume less energy, will not burn electrical system (and bmw is more than sensitive in that area, and any damage caused by alterations will not be covered by warranty, and will cost you dearly).
Why didn't you get them? Aftermarket is far more expensive and not as nice.

Why the VIN of a BMW z3 M roadster begin with W?

I want to send a BMW z3 M roadster to Mexico and it has to be Made in USA. Every z3 M roadster that I麓ve found the VIN begins with W (made in Germany) but in bmwusafactory.com there said " in Jan 1997 the M roadster starts production".



Am I going to find a z3 M roadster Made in USA? (VIN starting with 4), or I麓ll have to resign with the 2.8 z3.



Why the VIN of a BMW z3 M roadster begin with W?norton



All Z3's and M Roadsters were manufactured in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Early 1998 M Roadsters had VIN's starting with "4", late 1998's thorough 2000 had VIN's starting with "W". 2001 and 2002 models had VIN's starting with "5". The reason for this "discrepancy" was apparently some confusion over the interpretation of the meaning of the first digit (assembly location or location of origin of most parts).



The most important digit in the VIN for describing location is the 11th digit. That location describes the assembly plant for the vehicle. "L" is the BMW code for "Greer, South Carolina, USA". (A,F,K = Munich, Germany), (B,C,D,G = Dingolfing, Germany), (E,J,P= Regensburg, Germany), (N= South Africa)



If you absolutely must have a "4" or "5" first digit, then you will have to find a very early 1998 or a 2001 or 2002 model.

Stay away from German cars, they have maintenance issues that are very expensive to repair and maintain, like $1500 for timing belt service, $400 sensors, etc. Japanese cars seem to have better maintenance records and, depending on brand, have lower maintenance costs. My daughter had an Acura that she liked really well. Leather seats, style, etc. Now, she's a rider, not a driver after totalling it and getting the DUI. :-(



Me, I'm a Chevy man. I just bought my mother a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. Nice little car, reliable, nice interior/exterior lines, not very expensive, unless you do all the upgrades and even then, it wouldn't cost as much as a Toyota Camry. Plus, there's a Chevy dealership on practically every corner, so parts and service aren't an issue. I like driving it and I own a Z06 Corvette and a Silverado LS 4x4 and I'm picky. So, if you need to impress someone, go with an Acura or Lexus. If you want a decent car that you won't be in debt forever over, buy something like a Cobalt.

Should I get a 330ci bmw or 350z??

Should I get a bmw 330ci with 93,000 miles or a nissan 350z with 93,000 miles on it? How long do each of these cars usually last for?



Should I get a 330ci bmw or 350z??pop up blocker



2003 350z's had some issues that, while not a detriment to the car running, did cause some major headaches.



The first issue was known as tire feathering. It was a result of a improperly designed front suspension that caused the tires to wear faster than normal. The fix was either upgrading to a aftermarket suspension or changing to a different brand of tires (the stock RE040 are very soft). I believe Nissan released a TSB (technical service bulletin) on this issue and there is a fix for it through Nissan.



Another known issue was with grease streaks on the windows. I forget the cause, but there is also a TSB on this issue as well.



Lastly, 2003's seemed to suffer from some intermittent issues with the transmission failing early. My friend had a 2002-built 350z (she was one of the first to own it when it came out) and her tranny needed to be replaced at 60k. However, there are some who have gone upwards of 80-90k without issues. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the random failing.



If you could, spring for a newer model Z. Aim for a 2004.5 or higher (a 2004.5 is one that was produced in the latter half of the year. There was a completely revised front suspension). These newer Z's fixed a lot of the issues with the early Z's and are a much better buy. I would also stay away from the 2006 and 2006 300hp models, as those motors have issues with burning oil and there is also a TSB out for that as well (I have a 2005 350z with this particular motor and I am having the problem).

Don't come here for BMW answers. The people aren't the brightest in here. If you don't know what an e46 is, then STFU.

What cars are similar to BMW COMPACT 316i?

I looked at buying a BMW compact 316i P reg but have decided against it as I have heard running costs are too high. I want something sporty, 1.6, that looks good below about 拢1400. Anything up to 90000 miles. Any ideas? Thanks

During that time, the only car that was compared to the BMW Compact 318ti was the VW Golf GTI. I guess for the 316i, it would be the other VW Golf models.



But later on, other cars came along - Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz Sports Coupe...etc.



If you want an affordable and reliable; yet sporty hatchback, why not get something Japanese, say, a Mazda?



The Mazda 323 would be a good choice. At your budget, you could probably get a P to S-reg model.

Sounds like you are in VW Golf territory.
