BMW’s future in Formula 1 is in serious doubt amid mounting speculation that the German car manufacturer will announce its withdrawal from the sport at the end of this season, on Wednesday.
An emergency press conference has been called at BMW’s headquarters in Munich, where it is suggested that the car company may reveal that it [...]

More Speed From Car…?

In: BMW

30 Sep 2009

I drive a BMW M3 2005. I want to gain more speed. I was told the more weight I can lose the faster it will go. I figured as the motor is the heaviest part of the car I would remove it and this would save me 150kilos at least. How much faster do you [...]

Please advise me , what kind of maintinanc I should carry out, and which parts I should replace at first ( I do not have the previous maintinance record ) , also please tell me about this car..Thanks all.

My 2002 BMW 330 Cic motor is blown. Shop says it will cost $6500 to replace with a used (~80,000) motor. Car is probably worth $16000 running. Everything else on the car is still great condition. Worth saving or part it out? TIA

My ‘98 volvo S-70 has, ever since I took it to a european car mechanic, made a strange, but not loud, noise near the front left wheel.
The car has front wheel drive, and has ABS. The noise is very slight, making the noise that you would expect to hear if you stuck some string through [...]

Is there anything scary to note?
I work on 60s musclecars, but my volvo is baffling at times. I’ve replaced brake pads, but now it needs rotors.
Anything more to know other than yanking the nuts, wheels, & calipers?
Then the rotors just slide off the wheel studs, right?

Specifically, I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee and a 99 Volvo S80. I do the brake jobs on my cars myself and the parts stores have 2-5 different options for my vehicles that range in prices from $20 -$105.
The last car I put brakes on was a Pontiac Grand Prix. I bought the [...]

I had my parking brake pads of my Volvo 850 replaced at a Volvo dealership about a month ago. Since then, I’ve noticed that it only holds when the car is pointed down a hill. When it is facing up hill, it’s as if it wasn’t there.

ago. I had rear brake pads/rotors replaced today. brakes would vibrate, not all the time, but while going downhill there would be a noticeable vibration felt through brake pedal & steering wheel. After these repairs I still have vibration as described. What could problem be? I’ve only added 8 k mion car since [...]

A mechanic from another dealer told me that should have been done by the dealer that installed my padsand didn’t do it.

I am replacing the brake pads on my wife’s volvo s40 today and someone told me that the pistons are different and operate on a retractable screw system. can I still use a c-clamp to force them back or is there another way? Is there anything else I should know before starting the job?

I think the 2001 Volvo S40 has disc brakes, and without really looking at it a mechanic guessed it would cost 500 bucks to replace the pads on all 4 wheels. Is this about right, or what? Also, is this a one hour job, or a leave the car for a day job?

when i put on reverse / drive .the car won’t move at all. i see the transmision fluid leak .But when i put on the gas for maximun speed the car will move and made some noise.

My engine blew and i had a new one put in. and ever sense i got it back my transmission has been slipping from 4th to 3rd. Does anyone know what this could be or how to fix it. could the engine shop have messed up the timing?

Now Im in Japan and japanese. In US we can see all makers of autos the world. When you hear the brand name of Mazda, what do you think? Bad? cheap? not cool? or never pay any attention?
In japan not so good image about Mazda. same in US?

Sense you don’t know I would say take it to a mechanic.In a garage that you trust. That way you are on the safe side.

Providing the parking brake is not set and the brake components on the inside of the drum has the brake shoes rectracted. the drum should slide off after tapping it several times with a rubber mallet or a deadblow mallet. (deadblow mallet may work better) DO NOT use a regular hammer to [...]
