Wheels. May 292012. When an issue pops up on an older BMW, there is no reason to be in the dark as to the cause. There are many resources to help you diagnose the problem on your car, and as the expression goes knowledge is power. Even if you don’t intend to try and fix the problem yourself, you’re in a A REFRESH FOR MY E39 M5 INTERIOR A Refresh for my E39 M5 Interior. This weekend I refreshed my 2002 BMW E39 M5 interior. The car recently ticked over 100,000 miles and has yet to surprise me with any unexpected repair issue (knock on proverbial BMW wood). It’s as exciting a car as when I purchased it in 2011, and after seven years it deserved a few interior tweaks. CD43 STEREO UPGRADE FOR THE M3 CD43 Stereo Upgrade for the M3. This weekend I replaced the stereo in my 1999 M3 with a more powerful head unit. In BMW parlance I went from a C43 to a CD43 radio, the stereo unit included in many BMW models from the year 2000 0n. A little background to start. It’s widely known that BMW sound systems are not very good, especially for a HELPING ANOTHER BMW SULEV OWNER Helping a BMW SULEV owner save thousands. Hello Chris , recently I been told that my 2003 bmw 325i sulev wagon with 94k on it and manufacturing date of June 2003 would not be covered by bmwna because the vehicle “originated in Tennessee “ according to the bmw bulletin TRI B11 75 02 these sulev models will be sold in California, New York and Massachusetts in 03 and in Vermont in 04. E36 M3 BATTERY REPLACEMENT E36 M3 Battery Replacement. This weekend the battery in my 1999 BMW M3 finally gave out. I bought the car in late 2003, so I know it was at least nine years old and probably was original equipment. The fact it lasted so long is testament to BMW quality a couple of car generations ago. When my car was new BMW batteries were made by a company REPLACING OXYGEN SENSORS ON AN E39 M5 Old vs. new -- note slot for sensor. New panel in place. I’d estimate that dealers would definitely would charge two hours of labor for this job, maybe even more. At $125 per hour, that’s at least $250 labor and the dealer parts cost of $400. So total of $650, vs. $100 for the sensors and my time on a Saturday morning. WISDOM OF THE CROWD SAVES BMW SULEV OWNER Wisdom of the Crowd Saves BMW SULEV owner. Last week I was part of a discussion thread in the BMW group on LinkedIn . An owner of a 2005 BMW 325 was in shock after going to his dealer with a fuel pump problem, and was desperate for help. He was desperate because the dealer had quoted him a price of $6,500 for the part alone, labor notincluded!
