How do you jump start a BMW 525?
Most BMW's have the battery under the back seat (for better 50/50 weight distribution) and a "hot" point under the hood/bonnet. The "hot" point is protected by a one inch square of plastic clearly marked with a red "plus" symbol. This is the positive post. Complete the circuit by attaching the negative clamp to the car frame. if it is a standard shift, put the car in second, roll it down a hill or get buddies to roll it 5mph or so, and drop the clutch. imediately after you drop the cluth, deploy it again so the car wont stall on you, Ive had a similar prob cold starting my 87 535i, so i think you got the idea now
2004 X5 driver Outside Door Handle doesnt work Inside handle OK?
Remove interior door panel. Check the rod from the latch to see that is attached to the outside handle. Reattach rod. The rod clip made may need to be replaced if it doesn't hold. This condition can be caused by someone breaking in or it was serviced and not installed properly.
Who makes Wear ever gold brake pads?
Wearever brake pads are sold at Parts America and Advance Auto Parts. They are made by Wagner, hope this helps.
I'm not sure that they are made by Wagner. Foster makes the Wearever rotors. But Wagner is owned by Federal Mogul and I'm pretty sure they are not the manufacturer of wearever pads.
What would cause a 1995 GMC Jimmy to idle and run rough and the check engine light come on?
Mid 90's Jimmy's have issues with cracked blocks, at transmissions, the front differencial, as well as the oil: pan, filter, pump, and gasket. It is very possible that the block is cracked.
AnswerIt could also be carbon in the EGR valve... AnswerEarly 90's Jimmys has a multiport fuel injection system which used a fuel regulator and delivery system inside the intake maniford. The Central Port Injector(CPI or Spider) has had a tendency to leak from the regulator putting excess fuel into one side of the intake manifold. The single O2 sensor reading the combined exhaust trys to lean the mixture by shortening up the "on" time for all of the injectors which leans out the other bank of cylinders. In essence you have three cylinders running rich, three running lean. Not the best situation for a stable idle.The indication of this is that one side of the intake manifold will be relatively clean(usually a yellowish brown)from being cleaned by the gasolene, and the other side dirty from the blow-by products from the crankcase vent. Check out: http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/feb2000/techtotech.htmfor a expert diagnosis from an ASE Certified Tech with lots of pictures of what I was trying to explain. Look for "Jimmy CPI Unit" on EBay, they have some of the newer modified units for fairly cheap ($200), their not hard to change, just be careful not to get any dirt into the injectors when you remove the poppet valves at the end of each feed tube. That's about it if it's the CPI, hope it helps.94 AnswerI have gone through 2 EGR ValvesA few times a friend even cleaned one to get it going, It worked for a while but eventually failed. Answerits prolly the egr valve a piece of carbon is prolly holdin it open mine used to do that but i got a gasket made by timeco an it has a screen that stops the carbon from buildin up AnswerIf the check engine light is on, get an obd2 scanner and check out what code is stored in the computer. The scanner will tell you what codes showed up even if the light is now off. The code should tell you exactly what is wrong without guessing.What was the new car price of a 1998 BMW series 528i sedan in 1998?

Does the middle compartment on 2003 BMW 530i open or just slide back and forth?
I own a 2001 530i and I pondered over this for quite some time, gently trying to open the console. Unfortunately, it does not open for storage - rather, it only slides forward and aft. I read through the entire owners manual, and found nothing regarding the center console - other than the mini storage compartment in front of the console. It was after I spoke with the BMW dealer that I found out it is only an adjustable arm rest, although I have not found driving in that position very comfortable. Hope this helps and enjoy your 530i!
Where are the fuses in a 5 series BMW?

BMW 530i turns but won't start?
If getting spark and fuel, then it MAY be your crank position sensor. I believe it is around 1200 ohms +/-10%, but double check that number via internet or dealership. I hope this gives you a better chance. There is also a camshaft sensor, but the crankshaft sensor is usually the culprit.
How do you reset the oil service light manually on a 1992 BMW 325i e30?
Do this at your own risk. Toward the front of the motor on the drivers side is a large black diagnostic plug with a cap on it. Undo the cap and pull it off. In the center is a hole shaped like pacman. The lid has a piece that sticks down into the pacman hole. If you don't see pacman you have the wrong plug. Surrounding pacman is two rings of holes, some with connectors in them and some without. Using a fused jumper connect the hole two spaces away (outer ring) and directly in front pacman's mouth with the hole closest to (inner ring) and directly below pacman viewing pacman's mouth to your right. Turn the key to the on position, in about 5 seconds the oil service lights should go out. Immediately turn the key to the off position and remove the jumper. Then test it by starting the motor, if the light is still on repeat the above steps.

Head Gasket blown, plus check your water pump.
Why does your BMW530I radiator fan run full speed all of the time when water temp is OK?
If this is happening while you are parked or still... Its because its cooling the engine to keep a lower temp. Your sensor could be messing up possibly but my 2004 it would turn on all the time, and again and stay on.

How much does it cost to replace a driver side window BMW 316i?
Definitely 4-5 hundred bucks. I used to have one, over the time I had it both windows broke, the glass would slide out of the mechanics and just move around freely till it would eventually fall all the way down. I had to drive around for months with my window contantly down as I couldn't fix it at the time. So anyway, yeah, few hundred for sure
