Hey guys i really need some advice on what to do about the trim in my car. I have an 06 330i, its got the dark wood and im not a fan of that with the grey. I wanted to switch it out with the aluminum trim, and ive seen a couple of forum sites where they give u pics and diy directions etc, but do you think this is a good idea? Or will it just create rattles i dont want to mess up the car. Would the dealer do a better job than i would, or do you know roughly how much it would cost to have that installed? (I know the trim itself is around 600-700 dollars) i dont know how to handle swapping it out Thanks so much for your help! |

Hello. I took delivery of a 328i today. When I unlock the door(s), I notice a high-pitched noise coming from somewhere under the hood. When I get into the vehicle and shut the door, I cannot hear it. When I go back outside the car, I hear it. The engine is off the whole time. When I lock the door)s), the noise goes away after about 30 seconds and I hear a gentle "click." Could this be coming from the engine immobilizer or alarm system? Anybody else experience this? One guy I talked to suggested it could be the fuel injectors, but the engine is "off" when I hear it. Grateful for any input. Thank you!

Does the 2000 323i engine have a 150,000 factory warranty like I've read about for the 2001 model?

Hi, This thread made me think of some noises I hear upon inserting the plastic key in my '07 335xi. The engine seems to do: "Oh Boy, OH BOY! Someone put the key in the little slot! I better try to warm up the oil, start this-or-that pump, and get ready to REVVVV!" The whirring, etc, settles down within 2 to 4 seconds, and no bad noises come through. It all sounds normal, and good, from my perspective. I like the idea of the engine anticipating what it will be called to do. This sounds like some proactive thinking on some Munich engineer's part. Now, if only someone could confirm that this is really what is happening, I'd feel better. To me, it would be like having intravenous espresso only seconds after waking up. How nice would THAT be! xeye |
