Golf V GTI vs BMW E36 320

by admin on December 15, 2009

Sultinys asked:


Golf V GTI Pirelli Edition (230 BHP) vs BMW E36 320 (M50B28 – I named so myself) – 246 BHP. BMW wheels spinning badly on the 1st and 2nd gears at the beginning of the 1st test. Second try is more successful. Cars are equal from the rolling start. more info on www.bmw-passion.com Don’t post stupid comments like this is impossible to have such amount of power. Car has been dynoied and now it has even more BHP – 261 HP at the crankshaft.

Why does my manual transmission BMW use ATF?

by admin on December 13, 2009

BY what i know ATF stands for Automatic transmission fluid so if I have a manual why does the car need it?
PS Im only 18 and am just starting to get to know cars

18 years of age is not a bad start. And I think you are on the right track for being interested in things like cars. Unlike some people who are much older who do not even know how to open the hood, much less how to add coolant or oil or add air to the tires.
But do not think that all BMW manual transmissions use ATF since they do not. Even BMW automatic transmissions do not all use ATF.
Why BMW uses and recommends different kinds of oils is a complex question which lesser mortals like us should not bother with. Forget about the why. Just use what is indicated on the label under the transmission, or what is officially recommended as per TIS or EPC
(BMW repair procedures and parts catalog). Sometimes comparable oils can be bought outside of BMW and naturally they are cheaper.
And you should have mentioned the year and series of your BMW for a more rational discussion of the subject as it relates to your car.

why wont my BMW 740 I go in reverse ??

by admin on December 10, 2009

I own a 1993 740 I IT has 200.000 mile on her but she runs great. This past year have put over 3000 in repairs. sencers,vacume, and intake problems to get her to pass smog. Finally I got all that done . The other day when I put her in reverse I got nothing. Whats strange is all the forward gears shift smoothly like new. Is this something that is electronic, ?I know that trannys for these cars cost allot so if I need a new one well the car will be totaled. It would cost more than shes worth. I am hoping that someone out there who is a bmw expert can tell me something simple that I can do or check to solve my problem. Even if I can get the reverse to barely work I would be happy with that. I only useit to back out of my garage to leave Any ideas at all I would be willing to try the car still looks great It all Black on black leather tinted windows help!!
oh by the way its a automatic

Hi there you don’t say if its auto or manual?
If manual, I suggest you check out the selector lever, and work out just what it is doing that isn’t happening with forward gears.
Hope this helps a bit.
