Well make sure you have the clutch all the way down and push real hard to the left and up. Put some muscle into it . I drive one and I use two hands to pull it over and up sometimes.

Where is the dipstick to check the transmission fluid on a 1994 BMW 525i?

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:18:07 +0000

Whenever I’m stopped, then let of the brake and press the gas, my BMW acts like it’s in neutral for a moment and revs up, then kicks and goes like it was suddenly put into 1st gear. I was told to check the transmission fluid, but I can’t find the dipstick. It’s an automatic transmission on a 1994 BMW 525i.

Your car does not have a dipstick for the trans. There are 2 plugs on the trans oil pan, a fill plug and a drain plug. To check it you will need to raise the vehicle, with the engine running pull the fill plug( the higher one) and the fluid should be at that level. If not you will need to add. That car uses Dextron III.

What do you think of the new next generation BMW M3?

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:05:22 +0000

Car and Driver magazine has pictures of the "concept" M3. It looks pretty cool, but it doesn’t seem much better than the 335 coupe. I think their 335 with twin turbo is too good for its segment. BMW should make a larger gap between the 335 and M3. What do you think?

Agree with you! Time will certainly corroborate the view expressed!

Should I buy a BMW or a Japanese car?

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:45:15 +0000

Im in college and I really want a cheap used 3 series because I love those cars. I found one thats perfect for me and in my budget (4.5k), its a 98 and has 80k miles in great condition. I already had my mechanic scope it out.

Im just concerned with reliability and cost of maintenance. Insurance will rise by a bit but mostly I’m talking wear and tear repairs, like oil changes and parts/labor on anything else. Most people have been telling me to get a Japanese car because it would be cheaper and more reliable.

Will the BMW really cost that much more to maintain and will it not be reliable? Some have told me that 80k miles is too much but I’ve seen BMW’s on sale with 150k+ miles. I used to get oil changes on my Mazda for 20-30 bucks, is that not possible with a 98 3 series?

Should I buy Japanese or get the BMW I want?

BMW all the way !!!

Can I start a ‘98 BMW if the keys are lost?

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:45:14 +0000

Car is for sale. Owner says keys are lost. Is there a way to start the car without the ignition key? Can the key be replaced the using VIN number?

yes you can get a new set of keys with a vin number. the owner should be the one to do so though. they will ask for proof. but it is expensive so dont pay for the car and then have to pay for a key, make them buy the new key.

BMW Mini used car warranty?

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:44:54 +0000

Hi there.

Just to fill you in, I bought a July 05 plate mini a few weeks ago, it was a private sale. It is absolutely stunning and drives lovely, except one thing. In 1-2nd gears I get a knocking noise from the front near side. Also when going over bumps, but mainly if I’m going up and out of second gear. I’s like clunking kind of noise, when I’m going along nicely though it’s a lovely smooth ride.

Anyway, theres the picture. So next week I have booked it in for a clunk check. I hve 2 years left on TLC package and the dealer says I have used car warranty till Jan 09. The previous owner bought it in jan 08 from a BMW dealer so I’m assuming this used car warranty stays with the car like the TLC package? If they find something expensive wrong would it be covered under used car warranty. Any ideas anyone as to what it does cover?

Many many thanks,

you would have to look at the policy. Mini in the U.S. does not offer a used car policy unless it’s bought from a dealer under the mini next cpo program. Any other used car warranty would be an aftermarket outside warranty and may not be valid at all dealers.
