My (now) fourteen year old son learned the three-pedal dance last summer when he was thirteen. I'm thinking that's a great age to teach the left foot how to do something useful.

You MUST find out if teh automatic transmission has ben replaced yet
If no, you are within a year of a $5000 or more problem
Reverse WILL fail on that car, and mine failed at 102,000 miles.
 
Good Luck

End of Warranty by kirkr
Mar 05, 2008 (12:09 pm)

I am getting to the end of the warranty period on my 2006 325xi and, like Shipo, I don't believe in extended warranties. You rarely get your money's worth. I am having it picked up (my dealer does this for free since I live 100 miles away) and having the control arms and bushings checked. Is there anything else I should have them look at while it is in the shop?
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Regards,
Kirk

My BMW will not start on occassion by widriver2

Hi,
  
My 2002 BMW 325CI has not started 5 different times in the last three months. In three of those cases the car started 10 to 15 minutes later. Once it would not start for 2 days. After the second incident, I took it to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle, nor was there a code indicating a problem. Unfortunately it has happened a few times since. The power seems to work as radio and lights come on. When we we raised the front hood, the engine seemed to make a hiss when we tried to start it, but did not start to turn over at all.
  
My car has 53,000 miles and I live in the upper midwest.
  
Any ideas?

Remote Control Issue by zico97

Help! I purchased a 2006 BMW 330i and today I encountered a "Remote Control Not In Ignition" message on the navigation screen. The ke will not go in (just kicks it out), however, If I hold it in the car will start. I am very careful about removing the key properly (push in and then pull out). This is the first I have encountered this problem.
 
Is this a computer issue, does it need to be reset ???
 
Thanks for your help in advance.

You are still under warranty, I believe...either it needs to be reset or the sensor is bad.
 
Take it to your local BMW dealer.

Does the compound need to be specifically for brakes, I have anti seize compound that specifies many uses including spline and clutch assemblies says its non hardening, non oxidizing , non corrosive non evaporative, no vibration, no loosening. Name of compound is Balkamp.

I'd get the stuff specifically designed for brakes, if only because of the high temperatures the brake components see.
