    Default No oil pressure for 4minutes.

    My 1985 325e was wrecked/bottemed out. Lost pan oil pump times 4 minutes. Shop has no guarentee fixing since no oil pressure. Probably will cost $1500. 6 hours labor plus pan and pump. I am second owner 175000 mi. Garaged kept no rust. Fixable? Is engine OK?

    3 Series on the road again after minor accident running up and over curb. Oil Pan and Oil Pump replaced with used parts from Craigslist. Front end aligned but car was true.
    Intermittent wipers inconsistently work? Is motor bad or bad contact on steering wheel. Dan

    check the sensor for speed. I do not know how it is on your model, but on the E34 and E32 the speed sensor is at the rear of the final drive and also gives a signal to the wiper, as in that models it is speed dependant

    check where the speed signal comes from on your model
