Welcome to bimmer.info's e34 forum. Just so we can cut down on the common posts we always seem to face from the new guys, head over to www.bmwe34.net and see if you can find an answer over there first. If you can't then make a post and we will definitely try and answer it. This is purely an attempt at cutting down on the repetitive posts. Seems like we have a lot of new people lately and that's great! Good luck and thanks for stopping by.

What is that weird noise coming from my dash when I shut the engine off?

The website discount is still valid but the code is "dotinfo" or "DOTINFO".

How to tighten stubbern ball joints and stuff...

Use a normal non locking nut to tighten it and then torque it with the locking one.

If this doesn't make sence then you must have your car towed for repairs.

Hi
I'm newly hooked on bimmers esp the e34. Still in the discovery phase with my 'new' 525i. Hoping to learn more in this great site. Cheers all.

Please can anyone advise on an all-season tyre for 525i?

I currently have Continental Eco Contact; are they sufficient/efficient for regular motorway driving, do you think? Is there another tyre I should consider?

Thanks in anticipation.

Great site, lots of good information here!

Here's a suggestion;
Adding the link to the seat twist resolution in the FAQ may have saved some time searching on it. I came across it purely by accident while reading a new post. I found a listing of "what will break" and it mentioned seat cables, but no link.

This is a great fix BTW! Was done in minutes!
