Replying to: kominsky (May 20, 2009 11:59 am) I have Thule bars and racks on my minivan, and previously had them on other cars for years. They are always superb in terms of quality and fit. I have a 2004 330cic which I'm likely going to get a trunk mount Thule because of my previous experience. If you go Thule or Yakima, you have to stay in that 'family' forever as they dont mix and match .. Yakima has round bars, Thule has squares..
#30144 of 30156 Gremlins on 323i by alibajalajaula Jun 06, 2009 (9:31 am)
I have a 323i, MY2000, with 85K on the clock. The DSC light come on while driving, no noticeable effect on the drive, then stays on, ignores the turn-off button , and then goes off, a day later. So does the check engine soon light: it comes on and then a day or two later it goes off. I took it once to a parts store and they read a code "cam sensor" but then it went off. Bottomline, these light come on and off at random, but there is no sympthom on the car drive at all. I have not taken the car to an indie shop among other things because of a hectic work schedule (in-out of town) but I wonder if this is sign of a more serious issue. Any thoughts? Could these be related? Replies to this message: bemer (Oct 23, 2009 9:15 pm)

#30146 of 30156 Passenger Side Mirror by densmith1 Jul 01, 2009 (3:03 pm)
I am having issues with my passenger side mirror not keeping its setting. When I unlock the car by pressing the remote button the mirror changes its angle. Is this a problem with the mirror or with the remote? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am driving a 2007 328i sedan and have the mirror switch pushed all the way to the left.

Replying to: densmith1 (Jul 01, 2009 3:03 pm) Just a guess, but it might have something to do with the driver settings. For example when you get in and adjust it, but don't set it as your driver setting the next time you open it, it thinks you want it to go to the memorized setting and changes on it's own.

Replying to: pylt1 (Mar 20, 2009 12:37 pm) Instead of re-pinning the connector could't you just cut the wires at the harness and splice a 10 gauge to them...ground the 10 ga on the chassis/frame? Replies to this message: pylt1 (Nov 17, 2009 5:41 am)

Replying to: alibajalajaula (Jun 06, 2009 9:31 am) My 323i was doing this for years. Switch to "top grade gasoline" and use only 91 octane. I had no check lights come on for last 3,4 years. It could be faulty sensor as well. Good Luck!

Replying to: kathyc2 (Jul 03, 2009 7:03 am) I suspect you're bang on, Kathy.   Another possibility is that densmith1 and some other driver (with a different key) may both be using the car. I believe two separate keys can be programmed to position the outside mirror to two different settings. (or did I just dream this???)   Michael

I have a 2001 BMW 3 Series Coupe (E46). First thing in the morning when the engine is cold, the engine revs on its own. The rev needle goes up to about 3,000 rpm and then drops to idle. This happens time and time again. If I switch the ignition off and then on again it stops? Does anybody know what is wrong with it? Also, when I come to a stop, regardless weather I put the foot or handbrake on, the ASC light flashes as I pull away again and the rear right wheel seems to stck as if the brake is still on for a moment...! Very frustrating...!
