    Trunk Lock

    I'm guessing it's automatic. Hey, your other option is to just intall a battery under the hood... there's a place for it and everything... attach a ground to the shock tower, and hook up the positive... Couldn't hurt, and you're laughing!! Also, you may want to remove either one of the...

    Trunk Lock

    Man, you can pretty much drive anything around here... today I saw a pick-up that had it rear axle waaaaaay off to one side, so the thing was driving almost sideways. You could get away with cutting a hole quite easily here in North America. No one ever inspects cars here.

    Trunk Lock

    There's an easier way to jump it without going directly to the starter. There is a positive terminal under the hood on the passenger side of the car... ground to shock tower bolt. There's no easy way to do this. Smashing the tail light will be the best way I would think. If you don't want...

    Power Locks Don't work

    remote? hehe! I don't know the answer to this. Relay seems to be the place to start, but I don't know where to find it. Solenoid in the trunk might be a good start too.

    New mod done!!

    Bastards!! Not only was it -20 here a couple days ago, but you're copying my mod!!! J/K, I knew you guys would like a nice simple mod that looks factory, and I knew Graham would be all over it, seeing as how he has access to the totalled E30. I bought 25 feet of white 14 gauge wire, and only...

    New mod done!!

    No, no, I'm not talking about tail/brake lights, I mean the light inside the trunk. There's usually only one light on the left side of the trunk lid beside the switch to light up the inside of the trunk. If you look on the other side, there's another cut out for another trunk light, but I want...

    Unsolicited Winter Tire Endorsement

    I've tried the Toyo Proxes T1 S on my cabrio before. Garbage on dry, worse on wet. If they make a snow tire as well as you claim, it will be noted. I too have also been told to use Blizzaks by many BMW owners (never have though)... last year I decided to try out Dunlop SP winter M3's... still...

    Camshaft Seal Replacement

    I've never had to replace a cam seal on a M20 before... If you can't tell if it's leaking, it's probably not. It's not worth the time and effort to do it. The amount of oil that will leak through there will be minimal.

    Regular Gas

    It also prevents detonation at high rpm's.

    New mod done!!

    Yeah, so there's a foot of snow on the ground, and I've been biting the bullet waiting to do another project on my baby. So I decided to do a small one on my mom's E30. I installed a second factory trunk light in the factory hole in the trunk. At first I wired it up like a chump, wiring them...

    ATF reservoir

    Why are you adding ATF, and where are you adding it to? The tranny, or the power steering reservoir?

    A 318i... M10 :O

    You'd buy an M5, and it would cost you another M5 worth of parts to keep it running. The amount of ball joints that wear out on those things is ridiculous. The E34's were built out of poop. Seriously!! My doors are falling off from metal fatigue, flapping front fenders, rust along the trunk...

    E36 Compact 1995 316i

    You are the first person ever to appreciate a Jaguar over a BMW for mechanical problems[;)]

    A 318i... M10 :O

    Okay, so the sticker price was $5995, but I've got him at $4500 right now... I still think it's a little too much for a 26 year old car... It's in pretty good shape though. The paint is peeling a little bit, but the rockers are strong, and the front quarters are great. The undercarriage is...

    E34 steering problem driving me crazy

    It just sounds like it's an E34. Mostly a giant piece of crap, that could have been one of the best cars BMW ever built, if that had have built it better. My last guess, would be that whatever you say has been done, may not have actually been done. I'm just saying that sometimes mechanics can...

    A 318i... M10 :O

    So, my E34 has crapped the bed... blown it's hydraulic clutch while sitting in an underground garage, 60kms away from all my tools. It's got a bad wheel bearing, shattered highbeam, shattered fog light, my rear Bilsteins are shot for some reason, my M5 rims need new rubber ($$), ball joints are...
