ive been lucky enough to have driven a few of these vehicles. The "check engine light" is usually on the left side of the dashboard indicators and is actually a small message that reads "service engine soon".

If you are in dallas proper, no. BUT if you can venture north a piece..I broke down in denton around 1 a.m. and was towed to a place in Gainesville, had to leave my firebird there with a note and expected to get ripped off. I called the next day and the guy told me it was done, charged me for 15 minutes of labor because he figured the problem out in 1 and took about 14 to change the part (difference between "Mechanic" and "Service Tech"). The place was Kings Garage, that was about 15 years ago, so hopefully still a good, honest place..

BMW 3 series cars have 4 wheels. Some also have a spare wheel. Most of them have a steering wheel too :)

i believe that means that the steering wheel locks up in park for safety, until you put in the key and jiggle the wheel to unlock.

It depends what country (or state if in US) you live in. Each have their own laws regarding how old a person has to be before they can legally drive on the roads and that age can vary from 14 to 18.

The spark plugs are screwed into the head on the passenger side of the motor. Theres six sparkplug cables connecting them to the distributor, just pull them off and the plugs are there in the recesses. Don't forget wich cable goes to wich plug because your car will not run if they aren't in the correct place.

If your car is an E30 ( 1983 - 1991 ) the oil level sender is located on the drivers side of the motor toward the front and down low below the alternator. It's in top of the oil pan. Unplug the wire connector and unscrew the sender. It has a fairly large black plastic round top. Pull it out of the oil reservoir and wipe it with a rag before taking it away from the hole. You might be able to clean it sufficiently to make it work correctly. To test it pull up on the float and test continuity ( ohm meter ) between the two leads. To install the new one clean off the surfaces, screw it in ( use a new rubber seal ) and plug the connecter back in.

I take it now and the side effects is it makes you unusually tired about 2.5 hours into the dosage. If you are sitting down at a desk or other stationary place you are assured to fall asleep.

I find it best to take at bed time ... and you will definitely have some weird dreams.

Have been on it for close to 18 months now

The only way I have found so far is to buy a service reset tool. Go to http://www.bavauto.com/se1.asp?dept_id=375 and you can buy one with a built in code reader as well. I would imagine there is a way to do it without the tool, but I have not discovered it as yet. edit by copteaser: There is a manual way and it's farely easy.

the source of my info you can find at the following urls:

http://www.e46.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38&highlight=&sid=69344d53c41665daa55f062d06e6eafd RESETTING OIL SERVICE INDICATOR:

If your OBC needs to be reset after completing your oil change, there are two ways. NOTE: If you miss a step, just turn the key back off and try again:

A. Model Year 1999 to Mid-2000: You should have the older round 20-pin DLC connector under your hood behind the battery terminal, you need to use a small length of wire to connect (short) pins 7 and 19 for 3-5 seconds with the ignition key in position 1 (Accessory).

B. After Mid-2000: You should not have the 20-pin DLC connector. You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done.
