BMW

I purchased a BMW and want to install a nice alarm/security system. I want to install a Python alarm/security remote starter which I saw in Best Buy (available at Circuit City as well). The remote of this alarm/security (1) VIBRATES and, (2) LIGHT FLASES should the alarm go off for any reason. Now, I’m not sure if I should have the BMW center or a retail store such as Best Buy install it on my BMW. Again, should I have this system install by a BMW dealer? Or, can I trust Best Buy to do a professional job on installing it?

I am buying this car, but im just wondering if the leather is real or not. It looks like leather, but im not sure if it is pleather, or real leather. Does BMW make cars with fake leather? Or, are all BMWs either cloth interior or real leather interior?

My beater 1990 BMW 318i has caused me no problems in the 6 months I've had it. Then when I tried to start it when it was low on gas, it wouldn't start. I assumed it just needed gas so I put in 10 liters (I'm stationed in Germany now). Still didn't worlk. Someone suggested I check the spark plugs and replace the fuel filter. I couldn't find the sparkplugs, so I changed the fuel filter. With the help of A LOT of starter spray in the air intake, the engine started up but quickly died?

Anyone know what is wrong with my car?

The picture in the manual does not match what I see under my hood. I see four plugs/hoses on the side of the engine, but when I pull them off I don't see spark plugs. There is a cluster of plus on the front that seem the right size, but I can't get them off. Any help?

My BMW is 5 years old and already the rear windows have had problems. The car is coming apart-literally!! The transmission has had problems. I take care of my car. It has been in the shop for at least six times for problems related to the ones I have mentioned above.The customer service is HORRIBLE!! Did I just waste my money on a BMW? Is there something I am missing?Has anyone else had any trouble with theirs?? Any suggestions?

I have a 2003 BMW 325i and everytime I get a maintenance done, the time goes blank and I have no idea how to reset it. There are different types of buttons on the steering wheel and different types of functions but none of them seem to actually fix the problem. The time on the actual head unit is blank and also on the speedometer. Another problem is my temp reads in celcius. Any thoughts?

The manual says if I hear a noise I have to take it into the shop. I know BMW will charge me $300 just to look at it. Why can't I just check and add power steering fluid?? It is a 2002 330i. It makes that noise when I first turn it on in the morning, then as I drive it, the power steering noise goes away, as if the fluid has gone where it needs to go with the car warmed up. It then drives OK with no struggle to turn the wheel. Thanks!

Im very frustrated and need your help w/ 2 problems.About mid July I noticed the 1st problem with the power seats.The heat in both all of a sudden go on.Its happened several times and the dealer said they found no problems cause the heated seat light never comes on but it gets red hot so much that bare skin feels like its burning.To please me they replaced the switch for the 2nd time but they won't do anything else now because they say they can't find anything.I told them to disconnect the swtich until they find the problem.The second problem is with the navigation system.When Im driving the screen goes black and if the radio is on everything electronic shuts off for a few seconds.They had the car for a week and found nothing but 2 days after I got it back theproblem was back.The dealer said they updated the computer or something but I still have the problem.They said they can do nothing. Who can I contact? The manager at the dealer is a jerk.BMW cust svc is a joke.What else???

The control panel is just behind the shifter and contains 5 switches. Four switches are for raising and lowering the windows. A smaller, two position, fifth switch has no lable. What is the function of this unmarked switch?

I have a 2006 bmw 325i. I decided to test my handbrake in a parking lot only to find that it didn't work while moving. Is this a new safety feature, or does the handbrake need to be pulled really hard?

hi everybody.
my car is an old bmw 525 tds(turbo diesel ).
the automatic transmission is a zf 5 hp18.
my problem is:
when i put the trans.in drive , the car will not accelerate normally from a start in first gear
it moves slowly just like the brakes were applied at the same time i accelerate.
the car drags,and the engine does not rev up...
then second shifts and it's ok...
when i put the selector in reverse,there is no problem at all...
what may be the solution?
thank you for your attention.
mike

i really like the manuals but i heard with BMW's u have to be very pro to get a good performance using their manual gear box, for example, a normal driver won't get from 0 to 62 in the advertised 5.5 seconds with a manual gear box. Why is that?
