Do rims from a 2007 BMW fit on a 1995 BMW?
Depends on the rim size. If you are putting 20" 2007 rims on a 1995 E36 BMW with 16" rims, you'll probably find yourself in a pickle. Trying finding rims either the same size, or within 1-2" of the original rims.
How do you replace a 1987 BMW e30 headlamp?
The 1987 e30 used standard sealed-beam round 5-1/4" headlights.
The headlamp is held in place by a metal ring secured by three #2 Phillips head screws. To access the screws requires unclipping and unscrewing the black plastic grill.
I find it easiest to remove the entire headlight assembly (three screws) and disconnect both electrical connectors to allow easier access to the easily-stripped screws on the metal rings.
What are the BMW warning symbol meanings?
What is the corporate logo?
The famous white and blue symbol of BMW stems from the company's origins as aeroplane engine manufacturers.
Many aircraft were painted in regional colours and those of the Bavarian Luftwaffe were the Bayern white and blue.
It is said that the pilot's view through the propeller was one of white and blue
alternating segments.
Through the years this image has become stylised into solid quarters of blue and white to declare the identity of today's BMW cars and motorcycles. Since the end of the 1970s BMW has worked to create a standardised international image in terms of statement and presentation so that today whenever people encounter the company's symbols they recognise BMW.

Reset brake sensor light on z4 BMW?
As far as I know, the older BMW uses brake sensor inline with the brakpads. Once the pads are low enough, the sensor get worn down, which use to conduct electricity no longer do so. As a result, the sensor lights are tripped. To reset the lights, you need to replace the brake sensors.

Could be a number of things, the thremostat could be stuck shut, preventing coolant flowing through the radiator. It could also be the head gasket (check for coolant loss and mayonaise like gunge under filler cap and on dipstick). COuld also be an airlock or blockage in the cooling system.
How do you reset an oil light on a 1988 BMW?
you can buy a reset tool or you may improvise and use a wire and locate pin 7 in your diagnostic connector and the other end connect it to pin 19 but you need to turn the key in the ignition first without starting the engine and you need to time it.it should only last for 4 secs from the moment you connected the 2 pins otherwise if it's about 12 secs it will reset inspection interval service light. it may sound funny but i just did it on my BMW 320i 1988 exact model as what you have.
How do you reset the service and inspection lights on an e30?
Construct a 10-15cm long fused wire. On pre-facelift (pre-1988):
There will be a semi-circular shaped plastic socket near the engine oil dipstick. Open, and place wire securely in the centre hole, and then (looking at the socket with flat side towards you) the other end in the hole to the immediate top right of the centre. On facelift (post-1987):
The circular socket will be near the engine oil dipstick or upper left of engine bay. Open screw top socket, and you will see a pacman shaped piece in the centre. Place one wire in the hole which is about to be eaten by the pacman, and looking from the left side of car, place the other end in the hole your side (underneath) of the pacman. Once you have double checked and checked again the wire is in the correct place, turn the key in your ignition. Wait 3/4 seconds to reset service lights. Wait 6/7 seconds and the service and inspection lights will reset. NB: If they do not reset or go back to previous after a few hours, you will need to replace the S.I. board batteries in your instrument cluster.

How do you change the oil on a BMW 1200c motorcycle?
Go to Autozone and pick up a Bosch 3330 Oil Filter for six bucks. (MUCH cheaper than the BMW version) Other choices that will fit have 3/4" x 16tpi threads, ?? psi by-pass valve, and an anti-drain back valve.
Recommended filters in blue. Available filters include:
- Purolator PL10241 / PL25230

- Supertech ST3614
- AMSOil SMF 122

At "operating temperature", carefully put your "C" on a work stand, or any way to hold the bike straight upright. Next, place your drain pan under the front of the motor, and carefully remove the drain plug bolt. It is recommended that you change the gasket of the drain plug with every oil change. Let all the oil drain for about 7 minutes. Next, remove your oil filter, using a thin walled tool that looks like a large socket for unscrewing the oil filter. Turn the filter upside down over your drain pan, and let all the oil drain out.
Lube the gasket around your new oil filter with some fresh oil, screw it in until the rubber gasket touches the seat, then turn 3/4 of a turn more for proper torque. Reinsert the Oil Drain Plug and fill engine with oil. Left side, on top of the cylinder, there is a black plastic oil filler cap - remove and fill with 3.96 quarts of 20/50 weight oil.
Right down your mileage and have a safe ride.

If you are trying to turn out the light, taking the ABS fuse out will not turn it off as it's a fail-safe light and will come on if power is lost to the ABS system or there is a fault with it. Only way is to take the actual bulb out.
