We all know that BMW E36 cars do have some (or many) problems that you will have to face sooner or later. I usually try to ignore them for a while, but find myself unable to keep ignoring them anymore, so I start a campaign to fix any problems that I see (or feel 🙂 ). Last time, my headlights were looking foggy and I thought of replacing them, but unfortunately, found a very good solution (kind of waxing) that restored them to their great shiny look. Although I successfully managed to fix this, I still have many issues to fix in the car. For instance, the paint needs some maintenance. My sunroof doesn’t open correctly, so I have to address this as well. I also need to do the Making your BMW Angel Eyes Fadeout . . . DIY! procedure which I talked about yesterday. That’s for my car, what about you guys? Anyone cares to share his/her car’s problems with us? Is it your headliner? Glove box? Windows? AC? Engine? . . . come on people, don’t be shy . . . Oh . . . one more thing, I forgot to mention my idle problem that’s driving me crazy.

    BMW’s…. Great car till they get old….

    I have this sweet bummer, best car i have ever owned and constantly get told thats a really nice car for a p plater anyways. There is this problem with the drivers door near the latch part on the car there is a button that senses when it is closed i am just wondering how i can fix this because it isn’t long enough to sense when the door is closed and you have to push on the door while locking it for the car to lock properly & just after i had fixed all the issues the car had some idiot in a truck decides to hit it while it was parked after it got an inspection to make sure it wasn’t leaking and was all clear underneath.

    Any ideas on how to fix the Door Latch Thingo
