FITTING A SCORPION ALARM AND IMOBILISER
OK. I removed the front bumper and took out the A/C fan. (blue '92 325i) I still can't grasp the hood cable. It looked difficult, so I decided to take a shirt hanger and pull the doorknob up. Wow, that was easy because I had plastic rain awnings on the glass. It opened a back door and then the others. I changed out the airbag crash sensors back to the old ones. Things seems to be normal, but I didn't drive it. I tried to do the same to the other '92, but a light came on re: airbag. I had already messed up one of the sensors, so I will have to do surgery on one or both. The A/C fan was rusted, so I might put a better one on, or just leave it alone....As for the Beacon, it's only supposed to see that I'm not speeding, gently turn, gently go from 0 to speed limit, mileage, etc. I have to keep the mileage often. -

BMW M135i 2020 Ticking / Rattling noise when accelerating
Hey mate, Widely known issue that these engines have wastegate actuator issues. There’s been a “fix” coming from BMW for 2 years according to some UK forums. Some users have pushed BMW directly for a fix and had replacement drive belts, tensioners and cover fitted to snug up the area. It has no impact on performance, it’s just annoying. Here’s a thread for more: https://www.babybmw.net/threads/ticking-rattle-on-acceleration.143097/ -

Dealership error on 320i
I have 2 BMWs, an 88 e30 and my 320i, I do all the maintenance on the e30 but with the 320i I take it to the dealership, I took it in Monday for an oil change that took them 6 hours, I left without issue, then by Thursday my car alerted me to there being barely the min oil in my car, I was conveniently 5 minutes from the dealership so I dropped it off pretty !Removed!. I knew something was wrong when I noticed it struggling performance wise and then it alerted me. My concern is the likely hood of damage this may of caused and who’s going to pay for that. My other concern is what type of damage could I be looking at, I’ll be honest I can understand the basics but anything extensive imma be a fish out of water. The car measures the oil with the computer and I ran that measurement a few times in disbelief, it doesn’t come with a dipstick but the dealership checked it with a dipstick they had (apparently) and confirmed it literally almost didn’t have anything. I can’t imagine a dealership forgetting to put oil back into a car, they have it today and haven’t called me to explain what happened, they only gave me theories such as oh they may of not filled it up all the way or they may of left something loose and it leaked out. -

E38 735i Engine thermostat
Hello I am back in this post with a new question I have removed the 105C Thermostat and fitted a 88C thermostat. The engine worked well all summer. I parked it and did not used it until now. Last week I started the car and I almost immediately got the temperature dial on the cluster going from blue to red and back again. Once the car is warm this the water temperature dial is stabilized. I initially thought that I have a faulty temperature sensor, failed sensor giving infinity across the resistance load. I have been looking for a water temperature sensor without any luck, my car is a 1996 model and can not find it on the spare parts list. I’m suspecting that the problem may be a result of the electric resistance on the water thermostat being removed. Does anyone having similar problems?
