M50 erratic idle by
Dan Buchan
525i 1991. This morning it started, idled too quickly (about 1000RPM or
just over, normally 600-700), and had a very jerky on-off throttle response.
It's done that before but not in the last year and it's never lasted all the
way to work before (20 miles).
Starting up 9 hours later it again idled...

Amanda Robin
Hi all--
I will probably buy a BMW 3 series later this year. I have been doing my
homework on the Internet and visited a dealer a couple of times.
Exchanged some e-mails with the dealer in the next town over.

it ever possible...

BMW's engine autostop feature by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
I've had the experience of driving a BMW X1 this week, as a loaner car.
My own car was in the body shop for some damages, so the insurance
company sprang for the X1 as my loaner. I was taken a little off-guard
by the engine auto-stop feature when you come to an idling situation,

Person on budget: older BMW or newer Toyota, Nissan, Mazda...? by
Big A
Hi,
I'm an average Joe interested in buying a newer car. I have an '89 Volvo and
I was thinking of buying something a little more modern. For someone like

I have an '01 740i whose warranty period will expire in June '05. BMW wants
$3749 for an extra 2 years or 100K miles, whichever comes first. Sounds

Robin S.
I was reading a newsletter from within the company I work for an noticed
that we make parts for the BMW 1 series. I've never heard of these cars -
indeed they are not shown on the North American websites.
Any idea if BMW plans to bring these things to North America?
