I definitely need to get in the first DIY. When is the registration available? Thanks

Montgomery county, Maryland. Thanks

I am thinking 3 year plan that NTB offers for alignment but came across some complaints on their service online. As long as they can do the job correctly, it is OK with me. Anybody has experiences...

After I put new tires on 323i (140k miles), I plan to do alignment since the tires are unevenly worn out.

NTB offers unlimited alignment for 3 years for ~$260. I wonder how difficult this job is....

I posted the question about engine oil leak a while ago.

With good comments, I examined the engine room from the top (since I don't have a jack) and took some photos showing the parts wet with...

Thank you

When I change engine oil, the black square cover that I need to screw out is what I meant.
There are oil drops inside the cover, which are dripping on the floor.

THanks.

The mechanic changed engine oil and found engine oil leak. He pointed out that valve cover gasket or oil filter housing could be possible location for the leak. But, fresh oil was sprayed out all...

Can I join DIY now even though very late?

Thanks

Recently, I replaced valve gasket successfully after I found little oil around ignition coil boots.

Later, I noticed dark brown oil spots on the ground, which I guess are leaking engine oil.
But,...

Just erasing the code fixed the problem?
I don't think my mechanic read the fault codes. Since I don't have the reader, I have to crank it anyway to see the mechanic.....

I don't think it is the car wash symptom. I drove more than 10 miles for 30 min.

The reason I guess the mechanic mentioned gas flooding is I tried to crank it pushing the pedal many times before I...

I do not have SES light. I can't believe the 6 ignition coils failed all together, either.

The spark plugs have about 60k on it. I think they are worth replacing anyway.
How about coils at 130k?

My 2000 323i wagon (130k on it) did not crank and was towed to the mechanic. It was not a battery issue.

He said that the cylinders were flooded by gas, which is a common symptom just after a...

Here is their answer......





My car needs expansion tank and retest....

As expected, I don't know what I can't say. It just happened due to the fault of my car.....

The shop sent a tow truck and brought the car back.
I was not allowed to come with it. He said they will check and report.

I wanted to be there and talk in person. Does it make any difference?
I...

Thanks for quick responses, senior members.

Hi,

My wife had her BMW 323i (2000) hit by other woman in the parking lot.
The bumper was torn a little and the paint was ripped off several spots. Luckily it was not that bad, though.

She got...
