| I just purchased a new factory mirror for my2002 m3. The liquid in the old one evaporated.The dealer sold me a newer model of the mirror,The mirror works great but the remote keys do not open or close the doors or trunk. Does anyone know if the receiver for the keys are in the mirror. Or do I have to find an origional mirror for $ 600. | |

Replying to: rhmass (Feb 27, 2008 12:35 pm) Also, wonder if you can share your thoughts on the vehicle. I am looking at a used 03 325 wagon (only 19000 miles) and wonder if any quirks or issues you would note (particualarly if there are problem issues). Also, those years were before Steptronic came in, is that correct? thanks for any help you can provide. doug dpratt  mesallc.com

Replying to: 101driver (Apr 27, 2008 5:56 am) The E46 has proven to be durable and reliable. The six cylinders need a water pump at 60K intervals but other than that there really aren't any major problems. Assuming the car is a slushbox, I'd change the ATF and final drive oil at 50K. The coolant should be changed every three years and the brake fluid every two years(this is where a full service history is useful). I also recommend that you have the car inspected by a good BMW tech. The E46 3er is a great car, and there are enough of them around that you can afford to be selective.

So I have a 6 month old, brand new E92. Its automatic. I have about 7000 miles on it. My car has already overheated because of faulty parts which were replaced by the dealer. Mind you the day my car overheated, I drove a whopping 2 miles before it practically died on me. Now, my car has extremely loud engine noise whenever I turn the a/c on and the thermostat seems to go higher and higher as I drive more miles with the a/c on. Its gone all the way to 250 degree F. I realize its still in the norm range. But prior to the overheating problems I had, the thermostat never moved beyond 210 or so. Another issue that started after they fixed the overheating problem, is that my passenger side window keeps going down. Sometimes it magically opens 4 or 5 times in a row after I close it. It opens so I close. Then it opens and I close... etc... It's totally random as far as I can tell. This is trip number 2 to the dealer for my car issues. Please tell me I don't have a lemon...  Has anyone had any similiar problems? |

brand new 2008 328xi. I can smell something like burning oil around tires. Tires are pretty cool though. Is this just because the new car needs some time to adjust?

| I'm wanting to replace the left door. If the make and model is the same, would the year matter? Example: Would a 1994 BMW 325IS Coupe left door fit on a 1992 BMW 325IS? Would a 328i or 325i model left door fit on the 92 BMW 325IS. | |

On the 2008 3 series, what's the best wax for a Jet black car? I've use carnuba wax liquid and paste. Wondering what looks best or what other people have found to work well esp' for darker color cars.
