over heating engine and window goes down...? by imgnohc

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?

Trade in your 328Xi for a 328i with a Sports Package

You have to rewrite some code in the engine management software, so until some one does that you are out of luck...

new car smell by rl328

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?

1992 BMW 325IS Coupe Door Question by 92bmw325is

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.

Try Fleet Wax-Collonite No 885
 
its a paste, for 'aeronautical and marine' finishes--
 
i have a 06 E90 and love this wax--use it on whatever vehicle i have owned. it lasts quite a long time and the shine is very deep.
 
its semi hard to find, but you can google it and find it online now much easier-
 
cheers

while driving smoke appeared from the dash in the car.after parking up and switching the car off the sound of a fan noise kept on being made and would not stop. this eventually led to the car battery being drained. is it an electrical wiring fault ? im not sure can anyone help.

What year is the car? Depending on the age, it could be a bad switch, relay, or final stage resistor.
