Which I thought. I am going to see if an indie shop with a GT1 will do it, if possible. If not, where can I get one of these relays?

need the code., could be anything from the above to TPS, Idle control valve, ..etc.. Auto Zone will read it for free if You can get it there, If not, you can get a cheap OBD2 scanner at Pep Boys for around $50. just plugs in where your hood release is. Don't worry, it's not the engine or tranny, it's FIXABLE! You just need the codes first.

Thule...or Yakima. Personally, I'm gonna go with a Yakima. Pics below are only to help you visualize your car with a rack.
This is the basic system...w/o the bike portion installed

Have you checked fluid levels? Has the cooling system been overhauled or the system flushed recently? How old is the thermostat?

sounds like a bad cluster i just installed one into a 2000 323 unfortunately the cluster needs to be coded with a gt1 or autologic so you cant just swap clusters

Check your intake boot for cracks and leaks. Its a common reason why these cars can run lean.
Also, check out the Regionals section for more AZ folks. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...play.php?f= 166

Interior lights pulsing happened to me when my alternator died... but it happened when I would have the lights on, and try to start the car. If it is the voltage regulator in the alternator, it isn't cheap to replace one. Maybe check your battery cables, see if the terminals are corroded at all.

Read this about the CDV:
http://www.zeckhausen.com/CDV.htm
Look under the car and see if you have the CDV. If you do, remove it and see if the symptoms are alleviated. You don't HAVE to replace it with the Zeckhausen modified CDV, you can just remove it and screw the two lines together where the CDV used to be.
If you don't have the CDV, then the clutch is slipping. here's one more ...

I had my DRL's turned off, my angel eyes are more of a blue so it looked dumb. It doesn't look so bad on your car but if it were mine id turn them off. They remind me of a Chevy cavalier anyway lol.

sorry to hear about that man, good to know. maybe if you have fold down rear seats, and pass through rear armrest, you maybe could have reached though the arm rest to activate the fold down seats, and then opened the trunk manually. just an idea before breaking out the window.

There's 2 underneath and 2 on top, what i did when i removed my headlights to send them to lightwerkz, I just squeezed the socket and the extension in between the bumper rubber lining and used a flashlight and a ratchet and loosened it. I was so glad I didn't have to take off the bumper lol.

You're surprised you needed to do this kind of maintenance at 96k? Most cars will need this. And yes, the parts are slightly more expensive. They are better engineered cars for driving. I wouldn't necessarily say they're parts are any better. Hell, most parts are probably all made by the same manufacturers as many other makes' parts. I have not had to change my rotors and I am almost at 24k. The...

You're on the right track if you're already looking at the P46's; they're pretty much the best bang for the buck you're going to find. They come with the angel eyes pre-installed and everything is ready to install into your car. I would recommend buying from a reputable vendor, Umnitza or www.jlevisw.com also.
Of course, you could always look for a set of OE projectors on eBay like I did....

my bmw definitely doesn't have self tinting windows. and i took mine to be tinted by a "normal tint guy," and he did a great job. i took it down to 30% all the way around, and i haven't had any problems with it.
