IT'S VERY EASY TO RESET THE TRANSMISION'S COMPUTER. HOLD GAS PEDAL DOWN. TURN THE KEY TO THE NUMBER TWO. CONTINUE TO HOLD THE GAS PEDAL DOWN FOR THIRTY SECONDS.RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR TEN SECONDS. NOW YOU CAN TURN THE VEHICLE ON. THAT SHOULD TAKE IT OUT OF SAFE MODE

The automatic transmission fluid fill location on a 2008 BMW 650i can vary depending on the specific model and transmission type, but generally it is located under the hood and accessed through a dipstick tube.

To locate the dipstick tube for the automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:

1. Open the hood of the vehicle and locate the transmission fluid dipstick. The dipstick handle is usually yellow, red, or black and is labeled with "ATF" or "trans."
2. Remove the dipstick from the tube and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
3. Reinsert the dipstick all the way back into the tube and then remove it again. The fluid level on the dipstick should indicate the current level of transmission fluid.
4. If the fluid level is low, you will need to add automatic transmission fluid. To add fluid, remove the dipstick and use a funnel to pour the fluid into the dipstick tube. Be sure to use the correct type of transmission fluid specified in your owner's manual.
5. Check the fluid level again with the dipstick to make sure it is at the correct level. Add more fluid as needed.

Note: It is important to follow the recommended procedure for checking and adding transmission fluid to your BMW 650i to avoid overfilling the system, which can cause damage to the transmission. If you are unsure about the location of the dipstick or how to properly add fluid, consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for assistance.

If you are seeing a "no key" symbol on your BMW's dashboard and your window went down, it could indicate a problem with the key or the vehicle's anti-theft system. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check the key battery: A low battery in your key fob can cause communication issues with the vehicle, leading to the "no key" symbol. Replace the battery in your key fob and try starting the car again.
2. Try a spare key: If you have a spare key, try using it to start the car. If the spare key works, then the issue is likely with the original key fob, and you may need to have it reprogrammed or replaced.
3. Check for interference: Sometimes, other electronic devices or signals can interfere with the key's communication with the car. Move away from any potential sources of interference, such as cell phones or other electronic devices, and try starting the car again.
4. Check the fuse: If your window is not responding, it may be related to a blown fuse. Check the vehicle's fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
5. Contact a professional: If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional mechanic or BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

It's important to address this issue promptly as it can leave your car vulnerable to theft (obviously). Hope that helps!!!

traction control (asc) doesn't work anymore. probably a wheel speed sensor.

the labor to remove and install pump is the same for new or used.. I would buy a new pump however it is your money.

I have two ideas on this. Have you disconnected the battery or had it drain flat recently? It may be the anti-theft immobilizer, and needs resetting. Having said that, the second video shows how to reset all the modules and it just starts right up! https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+bmw+318+reset+security+system Or the fuel pump isn't creating enough pressure. You can test with a gauge borrowed from Autozone..

it means the 02 sensors are dead. (them or worse) 62 seems way way too high , the service manual tell you spec on this keyon,, idle and WOT, pressure spec, only that matters as does injector leakdown tests and injector balance tests. learn this the O2 sensors can only do a fine tune on fuel. if there are exhaust leaks, o2 lie if there are stuck head valves 02 lie (each slug of air does that) gross misfiring, P017x codes trim error.s that means the PCM can not do trim at all. the engine hot is not in closed loop as it must be. for this above reasons. no vin told no country told no full engine spec name told at all no service manual to read for sure injection and pressure test. and FPR tests for proper regulation at all engine loads. cant be done blind, zero books./ 5 engine there are for 325i no 325XI, 2.5L engine gas. the new FPR page shows 51PSI not not 62 FPR has 4 nippples n it, 2 for fuel and 1 vacuum it seems if I am right on this FPR, there are 3 pressures to test, keyon, idle and WOT vacuum in the plenum does that and is engine load. at key on and wot psi is highes and idle lowest. and is in the manual and my one line BMW pages stinks to high heaven. zero FPRR chapters there, sadly here is fprif vac hose 4 falls off PSI is max. due to vac MIN>port 1,2,3 , one is pump input, one is to rails and one is return to tank line my best guess. which one is which IDK. rail pressure is what matters,key on pressure is highest and idle is lowest.if not fuel trim fails hard. no 02 can cure insane high fuel pressure. the PSI drop is about 5psi.sorry i do not have the real service manuals5 psi less than atmospheric pressure (keyon) also called "constant differential pressure" on the injector and FPR does that magic. on newer cars have FPR sensor and can correct pump or FPR errors. but not yours.

If your 2012 BMW 535i is losing all of its water but not overheating, there could be a few possible causes:

1. Leak in the coolant system: The coolant system of your car may have a leak, which is allowing the water to escape. This could be caused by a faulty radiator, a leaking hose or a cracked engine block.
2. Evaporative loss: In some cases, the water may be evaporating due to high temperatures. This is common when driving in hot weather, and it can be caused by a malfunctioning pressure cap or a faulty radiator cap.
3. Leak in the water pump: The water pump may be leaking, causing the water to escape from the coolant system.
4. Leak in the head gasket: A leak in the head gasket can allow coolant to leak into the engine oil, causing the water to disappear.

You need to have it checked for error codes. You could get tailended if power drops unexpectedly. Without the codes, it could be anything from a bad fuel filter to a failed transmission.

NO VIN TOLD . 2002 bmw 325ci e46? the dealer of this car asks for the VIN or no books or service parts, sold, to you, see whY/.???????? nor manuals my online source has no lighting chapters. users guide does not cover this. service manual at dealer does. buy one?

USA spec car no not? no country of VIN told so answers can be big time wrong, ok? sure get a shop to fix it they have tools you don;'t have. 3.0L is inline 6? called L6 is this car with coil pack that does more than one spark wire? or have 6, COP spark coils, (all I can do is guess) or USA has 6 COPS we check compression first, x6. got cam timing chain NOISE? I guess changed word mean replaced, with new COP coil? well; engine is first , the spark then fuel injector do DTC P0301 was set, and is still set this error, be specific on DTC errors, even tell them. 301 means weak combustion on #1

• bad cylinder compression
• bad spark
• or #1 injector is bad.

why 3 and 5 fails and all are odd cylinders./ is odd but I suspect VVT problems./ no mileage on the engine told. 300k 400k?

YOUR BATTERY SAFTEY TERMINAL MOST LIKELY BLEW (ON POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE ON RIGHT SIDE OF TRUNK). NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SEE A DEALER.

run the fault codes to see what put the engine light on engine lights operate for engine faults and transmission faults during the ac repair , a wire could have become disconnected Consider it as a unrelated problem to the AC

Hi, Please use the catalog from the advanced autoparts website or Mcmaster-Carr catalog in order to identify the product and then have access to the particular wire that you're looking for. You might use both resources just to ensure that the color isn't picked at random depending on the source of the part creation. Thank you.
