Replying to: gmonkies (Feb 28, 2008 2:02 pm) Here is one method. Has anyone else seen it or used it? I use this extractor. Does Mercedes really change oil that way with a machine? Yes. But can it really get rid of all the old oil and gunk as good as the traditional drain from the oil pan plug bolt? It's worked well for me as well as other BMW owners I know. I don't use it all that much as I can reach the drain plug on my E36 3er, X3, and Wrangler without jacking them up. That said, it was a lifesaver on my wife's E39 5er.

My window at times does not want to come up straight. I've fixed, adjusted and re-aligned but it comes back. The back end wants to lead the way. Bent parts? Bad motor? Worn sliders? A little help here. Thanks. |

Hey everybody! Great forum going on here. I have a 2002 e46 M3 with about 76k. Very rarely when i hit a bump the power dies, car shuts down and immediatly turns back on. It's such a rare occuance yet leaves me thinking about selling and saving for an upgrade. The previous owner had done the stereo wiring which is suspect. Also when i put in reverse the passanger sideview mirror moves facedown umungst other subtle glitch's. Electrical work on an M3 scares this novice mechanic. Any suggestions from you pro's out there?

Replying to: gmonkies (May 18, 2008 4:13 pm) I remember reading somewhere that I can manually reset without needing a device. But I can't find that post now. Any suggestions will e greatly appreciated. 1. Key in 0 or off position. 2. Press and hold odometer button and turn key to 1 or acc. position. 3. Keep button pressed until any of the following words appear in display: "oil service" or "inspection", with "reset" or "re". 4. Press and hold button again until "reset" or "re" flash. If there is no "flash", minimum consumption value has not been met. 5. While display is flashing, press button briefly to reset service interval indicator. After display has shown new interval, the following will appear in display for approx. 2 seconds:"END SIA" BTW, does anyone know a website that I can find out bmw club event in southern california? Thanks! Perhaps the BMW CAR Club of America website?
