I had some mapped cooling code last fall (not sure of the exact wording of that one) and fuel milage was dropping noticeably. The car (2004 E85, M54, 3.0L) has 65K miles. Bought a BMW thermostat and a Beck Arnley water pump. Replaced both about a week or so ago and after around 200 miles I got...

Anyone have any FHE with these? The Z stays in my garage but I have a 1972 Triumph Spitfire at my 94 year old mothers house. Of course my mother won't live forever and I don't really don't want to sell the Spit, I have owned it since 1977. Her will says the house must be sold and I don't want...

On a 2004 E85? I’ve got a Motive Power Bleeder, but not sure that this will work without having to activate the anti-lock brake system, as I have read that some model years require.

Was out on the road today and saw a black E85 in the oncoming lane (I'm in my black E85) and it had a female driver. Just got me wondering how many women owners we have on the forum...with many of our screen names it is impossible to tell male or female. BTW, I waved...she didn't ...

I know that the E85 (probably other Z4 models ?) have an aluminum hood (bonnet). I verified this via a magnet on my car… I have read that this was for weight reduction to keep the Z4 weight more inline with the Z3. Ok so how much weight does it really save? My guess is that it probably isn’t...

Sort strange but wondering if it is common? When I pull the dipstick to read the oil level, one side is up to the top of the center rectangle...flip it over and it is reading down about 1/4. Is this common (2004 3.0L M54)? Which reading should I believe? I guess it is safest to go with the...

Don't know if it has the same name on your side of the pond...But it is supposed to "improve throttle response and acceleration under partial load" and "optimizes fuel atomization and combustion". Well I bought a can of it months ago thinking I was buying fuel system cleaner. When I read the...

As briefly as I can do this: When I say rough hot start, this is what it does. Sits over night, starts fine. Start after sitting 10-15 minutes, starts fine. Start after an hour to 4 or more (not overnight), I have to keep the starter engaged and when it does start it runs rough for several...

Many times I am out and the top is down and I want to secure some valuables in the trunk. Well as we know, the little button inside the passenger compartment releases the trunk without need for a key. Is there a way to disable the button temporarily. I would not want to cut wires. Perhaps...

I collect some WWII memorabilia both original and reproductions. So I purchased an armband that was clearly represented as a reproduction but I was wondering if in fact there ever were armbands like this for real. Description - From top to bottom: Wings with some kind of branches in the middle...

I say “lighter” though some may consider it morbid. Hey, no one gets outta here alive. Anyway I used to teach jewelry making at several local Arts Centers. So just to get some interesting conversations started (while they were busy working) I would, on rare occasion, ask a group of students how...
