Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. So what you mean is that while the bearings can be changed, the ws will tell you to change the whole part.

Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. Thanks! Consider this a noob question but couldn't you just change the bearings?

Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. Can elaborate more on this? Thanks!

Re: Replacement Water Pump issues Hi Pings, Thanks for the insight and welcome to the E30 club (I think there are not many of us out there right now)! Mine is an M20 and though I do not think the diameter of the hole between the M40 and the M20 is that different, and while fitting was...

So I had a leak and from the staining, it looked like it came from the water pump. Old car, same issues. I went to the reputable parts supplier to get the parts and was told that they did not carry the original BMW E30 water pump but offered an OEM. I didn't have a choice so I took it...

Re: Need advice on signal lights and brakes For the signal issue, it's hard to diagnose without proper tools, so best to go into a workshop for help. If it is the fuse, it will not work completely but since it is intermittent, it should be something else; at least, that's what happened to me...

Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. I am not familiar with the E90 but I am sure there is a dip stick somewhere. For the power steering fluid, I think you will just need to uncap the container and the dip stick is inside, afixed to the cap. Mine was easy, there was no...

Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. If you think your tires are the cause of it, then they are severely unbalanced tires. I imagine when you say, the steering does not eat means you do not have to compensate when your car moves either left or right on a straight? I don't...

Re: Hi, a total noob to BMW Hi Welcome! If you are looking for user manuals, no better place than the internet. Google and you'll probably find a lot of BMW enthusiasts around the world that post their user manuals online. I found my E30 manual the same way!

Re: Some 'woo woo' sound when I accelerate my car. It could be a number of things, but with steering vibrations; chances are, it could be the bearings or the control arm. These are normal wear and tear issues and can be easily fixed. It could also be a simple alignment issue but you haven't...

Re: What's The Start Of Your Love For BMW Mine started when my Uncle in Melbourne bought a E36 and I absolutely loved it when we went on road trips. besides the red/orange hue of the dash, it was the angled dashboard, designed for the driver that got me excited. Then I took my driving...

Re: TP's new digital camera Absolutely agree with you. The TP has already made known (when the KPE opened and the 70km/h trigger fiasco happened - I was one of the 2000 over drivers summoned that day) that the typical trigger point is 15-20km/h. Even with bad calibration, your speedo cannot...

Re: Fuel consumption current model 523i and 525i My E30 320i does about 8.3-8.5km/L now. Prior when I inherited the car a couple of months back, it was doing around 7-7.3km/L. One day, I just decided to use one of those STP fuel injector cleaners found in the petrol station and after...

Re: TP's new digital camera You're probably better at this than I am, though I thought I saw a 90km/h sign just before the Stevens exit. However, my point is why lower the speed on a straight? Even is there is a slight ascent and descent before the cams, lowering the speeds by 10km/h is not...

Re: Best tire for the 3 series? I had to change my tires as a nail struck one of them. As I retained the original 14 inch rims on my E30, it was almost impossible to find the stock size of 195/65/14 and from a European marque. After numerous calls to many tire shops who introduced...

Re: TP's new digital camera A car triggered the digital cams last night (PIE to Changi) at around 90km/h (on my speedo). I think they have lowered the trigger points quite considerably with the new digital cameras. I remember the KPE ones triggering around 90km/h for a 70 km/h zone. What I...

Re: TP's new digital camera 1. PIE before the speed camera sign near Eng Neo exit 2. AYE just after Clementi Ave 2 (both direction) 3. SLE Mandai Road exit towards woodlands 4. Speed camera between Chinese Garden and Lakeside MRT station 5. Speed Trap from Changi Airport to City just after...

Just wanted to say hello. I am a recent owner of a E30 320i. I previously owned a E28 520i yonks ago and my fascination with BMW started with my Uncle's E36 and a chance opportunity to use a 2002 as my learner's car all those years ago. It's my first BMW in Singapore and I hope I would be...
