Replying to: gmonkies (Mar 09, 2009 11:06 am) I'd change it. . But when I adjust the window alignment so it does not reach the very top, it still does the same thing. Is there anything that I am suppose to rest to solve this minor problem? Try this: Press the window down button. When the window is down - hold it down for 20 seconds. Then press the window up button (with the door closed) - and hold it up for 20 seconds once it's all the way up. These two steps teach the window the normal down and up positions. They're needed for auto-down/up and to keep the window from going too far up into the channel. There is a magnetic switch in the motor assembly that is adjusted by doing this.

I'm considering an M3 Convertible and it will be my all-year round car. I drive about 23 miles each way from the suburbs to the city. Assuming I get good winter tires (and feel free to recommend any 18 inchers you feel are good), will this work or will I be white-knuckled all winter? I appreciate your thoughts - David

Replying to: david112 (Mar 17, 2009 1:21 pm) Winter tires are the key, and, if they fit, I'd recommend 17" winters on dedicated wheels.. My wife drove an '05 330i with soft-top through three Cincinnati winters with no problem, and she really isn't much of a winter driver... and, we have a lot hillier terrain here, than in Chicago... We've used Goodyear Eagle Ultra-Grip and Dunlop WinterSports... both in 17" get-flats.... Don't really know much about run-flats, though, if you are going that direction. regards, kyfdx

Hello! I have a 2002 BMW M3 with SMG that I just bought from a friend. It has over 100k on it. I love this car. But here is the problem. In a manual transmission when you don't depress the clutch far enough and you press down on the gas pedal the car will race some before it goes into gear. This is what the SMG appears to be doing. I am hoping that maybe it just needs and adjustment or some lubrication or something small. Is this a common problem? Is it a big problem? Can you help?

Replying to: gmonkies (Mar 09, 2009 11:06 am) I have the same problem on my m3 2003. Would you please tell me what is the part that you have changed ( dealer's part#? or the rubber O-ring). I have seen the slotted screw or plug on the side of the engine block (passenger side) where the oil leaking from. I called the BMW dealer in my area and they cannot see any part in this location!!!. Thanks for your time.
