After replacing my oil pressure sensor, the problem went away and hasn't returned. It was a pretty easy replacement.

My 2003 GM5 module was acting up. The driver's side window wouldn't work when the temperature got hot. I decided it was probably my GM5 module, but wasn't sure where to send it. I considered sending it across the pond to Mervyn in Harrogate, because our ebay guy wanted 3 times more than Mervyn...

Thanks, I have a Hella Pressure switch on order and will start there. Thanks for the info on the oil filter. Never considered that..

My 2003 2.5 has a flickering oil light at idle when I stop for a stoplight. Not always, and only when the car is hot. I Checked the oil level and things are good. Watching this YT video, this guy says it could be Oil Pressure sensor, Oil Pump or tolerances. What do you think? Is he right...

Thanks for the tips Colb!

Way to go BMW. That is possibly the best idea a car maker has ever had

Nice to know I am not alone in this. Are you going to replace them all? I bought the upper and lower already. Did you buy the third hose?

ok, two things on my to do list: 1) Reset window 2) break out the 'ol computer and look for codes

My Zed usually opens and closes the left side window a crack when I open and close the door. Sometimes when I leave the car out in the sun, it does not open or close the window when I open the door. Does this sound like a GM Module issue? Would I be lucky enough that a new relay would solve it?

Thanks for saying that. I always try to post the solution. There are SOOOOO many times on the internet when you find someone with your same problem but no solution. :cry:

So I figured out what my problem with the weather stripping. Inside the moulding there are little metal teeth. if your moulding is good, you won't ever see them. On the corner part of the trunk moulding the teeth started showing through. Two of them were bent down, keeping me from being able to...

I have a windscreen that looks like it is OEM, but it isn't. It took me awhile to find the installation instructions. Any chance you have the same one? https://www.roadstersolutions.com/media/PDF/WBKZ4Mesh.pdf
