How do you open trunk 98 BMW z3?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your electric locks do not open the truck, examine and repair the "linkage" mechanism associated with the top storage area, since these interact with the truck lock. In my '98 323ic I could hear the actuator attempting to unlock the trunk but it would not work until I reconnected the linkage where my top is stored when down.

Asked by Wiki User

I have added the following parts and mods:

accel wires uridum plugs jet chip stage 2 lower thermostat throttle body spacer k&n intake kit Electric fan conversion Cat back dual exhaust accel coils Larger throttle body from 2.8ltr engine from 93 grand am

These mods won't have you burning the tires off, but they will give you a definite increase in your acceleration. If you need more you can buy a turbo kit at this link http://www.maximumboost.net/product_info.php?cPath=21_350_353_354&products_id=423

How do you reset ABS on BMW E46?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You must have BMW specific software in order to clear any ABS codes. If you have an ABS light on, you need to have the car diagnosed using BMW software such as INPA,Carsoft,a GT1 or other type. Once you have an ABS light showing, it will remain on as long as the faul is present. If the fault condition no longer exists, it will clear itself but store the fault in memory. Sadly, you need repairs.

What is the BMW engine service light symbol?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, this is a common misconception. The gregariousness of your quandary is explicitly lacking in content and formidable specifications. Your question dates back to the ancient times of the Roman Catholic persecutions and gladiatorial slayings of many sorts. Which is why you would be best advised to pursue your quest of attaining adequate knowledge, outside of your current quantum stated far limited schooling thus far in the automotive field, at a suitable mechanic repair facility in the vicinity of your current resident.

This advice, if well heeded, will support such further quests in the field of knowledge and skill of which you are certainly lacking.

Difference between Hard real time system and soft real time system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A hard real-time system guarantees that critical tasks complete on time. This goal requires that all delays in the system be bounded from the retrieval of the stored data to the time that it takes the operating system to finish any request made of it. A soft real time system where a critical real-time task gets priority over other tasks and retains that priority until it completes. As in hard real time systems kernel delays need to be bounded

What do you need to do if your engine idles very low on random occasion sometimes even causing it to shut off?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try looking into the idle valve. If you remove it and twist it back and forth, you should here a metallic clicking. If the clicking sounds muffled, try spraying carb. cleaner down inside to clean it out. Ultimately you will want to replace it if it is bad, but this will aid you in diagnostics. Good luck.

If this does not correct the problem, you should consider taking the car in to be diagnosed at a BMW dealership. I held out on a similar problem until the car stalled so often I couldn't drive it. Turns out the crank shaft position sensor failed. If I had not had it diagnosed correctly the first time, I would have wasted money fixing more "common" problems; and the car still wouldn't have run.

Reset procedure using the Reset Mode (possible from 9/99 onward for E46, MY2001 E52)

  • Ignition key must be off
  • Press and hold the trip odometer button in the instrument cluster (left button), and turn the ignition key to the FIRST position.
  • Keep the button pressed for approximately 5 seconds until one of the following words appear in the display: "OIL SERVICE" or "INSPECTION" with "reset". (E39 is slightly different)
  • Release the button and press and hold it again until "reset" begins to flash, release the button.
  • While the display is flashing, press the left button briefly to reset the service interval, the following will appear: "END SIA".
The system can only be reset again after 10L (2.5 gal) of fuel have been consumed.
