I have a 2000 BMW 323i and I feel a shaking in the stering wheel and in the seat around 40 mph and over this sometimes happens at slower speeds too. It gets worse when i apply the breaks .

The following has been done to it in the past 3 weeks....
1. brand new tires put on
2. 2 of the rims have been switched out (due to 2 of them being bent)
3. the bushings have been replaced
4. front end alignment (the tech did not say that he seen anything that needed replaced)

Im not sure if the belt in the tire is broken or if its something more serious... what do you think?

I drive a BMW 530 (2001) manual transmission. If I am at a stand still and floor it, the car jerks thru 1st and second. How can I maximize the cars performance so that I go from 0 to 60 as quickly as possible?

I've got a BMW M3 with SMG II gearbox and the latest 2006 software. Seems to be jerky on moderate speed take offs. Upshifting helps a bit . Throttle seems top make things worst.

I am in the process of looking for a used BMW 3-series (all-wheel drive). I am wondering whether to get a stick or an automatic. Have any of you have good or bad experiences with either? is reliability better or worse with one or the other? Is the stick smooth and precise? Thanks a million!

I have a 2001 BMW 325i with 130,000 miles. It runs perfect, looks great and I love the car. It's been paid off for six months and I love not having car payments. I wouldn't mind keeping this car for another five years, which would be an extra 110,000 miles. Cost to fix things can be expensive on this car, but a new BMW is $40k, so I figure I'm way ahead even with $$$ for maintenance. What do you all think? Keep for five years, ten years, sell now???

My dash computer tells me when to change my oil. Like all BMWs. The thing is it tells me to change it only at about 9 thousand miles. The oil still looks great at that many miles and my engine doesnt burn or leak any oil. One of my mechanics says to just put what BMW says to put in it. Non-synthetic, and just go by what the computer says to. He is an intependent BMW master mechanic. Another mechanic says to put synthetic in it every 4 to 5 thousand miles at the most. HE is just a europian auto mech. not a BMW mech. The car has 95,000 miles on it and purrz like it should. What about additives?

When I bought the car, I was told the gas tank leaked. There is a discoloration on the tank where gas has run down the side, but it originates from above the seam and I have put my head/hand up there as far as I can and can't see or feel any holes or rusted out places. Is there another way to check for leaks without removing the tank or filling it with $3.00/gallon gas?

is it easy to drive the new Mini Cooper S model with manual transmission? i see alot of people with those cars around and it seems like a fun ride. is this true? i'm not really a great stick shift driver, but do you think i'd have a hard time learning it on this car?

and what is the downside to owning/driving a Cooper S?
i tend to do my own oil changes and tune ups and other minor maintenance work on my car, will it be difficult to do these things on a Cooper S at home? i don't like bringing my car(s) to the dealer for anything other than to buy my parts.

finally, i see that Coopers depreciate fairly quickly. 2002-2003 Cooper S are already about -35% down in price from retail. I see alot of used ones for sale on the Internet.

well i have a budget of 50 K for buying my self anything with wheels. and i have narrowed it down to 2 Options.

- I can go ahead and Buy a BMW335i, 306 HP, impressive looks, fast machine to whiz through. but it will cost me all 50 K or close.

- OR I can go and buy a BMW325 for 30+ K and a Ducati 749D, this way i will have an option and a freedom to go with a bike or with a car. But in this case i am compromising a lot on car, it wont be the same as 335i


What will you have done if you are in the same sort of situation.. Car and a BIke.. or just a impressive car. I am living in Washington DC so perhaps i wont be using the bike for atleast 3 months a year.

Please help me out
