OK.....im new here and this is my first post....but i have a few problems with my 1994 318is.....just wondering if anyone knows a quick fix or something.

1.) It's extremly loud....it sounds like a toy car, i can tell it is coming from the engine area but the car seems to run fine....its just annoying when your car can be heard from a mile away.

2.) My low-beam headlights keep melting the connector part....its weird...i am going to get some pics....maybe the halogens i bought did it, but they were not even good halogens.

3.) The paint on the BMW logo on my hood has come off.....how hard is it to put another on?

4.) My locks are very messed up on the drivers side and sometime i have to go to the passengers side to unlock and lock my doors.

5.) My driver side window never comes up all the way when i shut my door, i have to pull on the handle to get it to come up all the way.....and it randomly goes back down....i think it may be a sensor...not sure.

6.) My cloth interior sux, anyone know a way to clean it up well???

Thanks for any advice or help...........

1. Not sure what it is, we need a bit more info on what it sounds like, belt squeel or knocking.

2. Maybe the person who you got it from put too high wattage bulbs in it, or wrong bulbs.

3. Very easy, Ebay sells them cheap, you can even get decals to put over the blue and white if you do not want to replace the roundel.

4. Could be the actuator going bad on the passenger side or something is binding. Remove door panel and troubleshoot. Might just need a little oil.

5. That is strange. Not sure what is going on.

6. Most auto parts stores sell some spray foam that does pretty well to clean things up for a cheap fix.

Maybe some other people might add some more insight. Hope this helps a little.[;)]
