Any suggestions as to what this could be? I had to change my coil pack as the car started misfiring and had erratic idle out of nowhere. The side of the coil pack on number 3 was slightly melted. I changed the pack and the HT leads and plugs but no joy. Number 3 isn't sparking. I checked it off the block. I even tried disconnecting battery and ecu to see if it needed to be reset but still no joy!

It's a 1998 e36 318i. Any advice appreciated. A mate in work reckons I've to get new ecu and another lad said maybe a sensor in the crankshaft

      INPA / ISTA / Coding help - How and what to get?

      Hi everyone I have a 2006 760Li that has some issues. I have bought an INPA / ISTA compatible cable but need to get the software. Is there someone on here who sells the software? I would need help setting it up as well. Car has had the following replaced: Seats, Logic 7 amp and ASK unit (yes, car already had logic 7), steering angle sensor, complete rear suspension including struts, blue/red pipes and compressor, and a brand new BOSCH battery. Apparently some of these needs some sort of coding? What do I need for that? Any help would be very much appreciated. Happy to pay anyone willing to help over whatsapp video call to take me through things.

      Is there a way to get the original window sticker?

      Update: Hey everyone! I want to give a big thanks to all of you in the forum, especially those who shared helpful tips about my car search! So, about that window sticker, I just did a quick search on Google! I typed in "window sticker by VIN" and found this awesome website! It even lets you search for window stickers by license plate. How cool is that? Since I had the VIN number, I got myself a replica of the window sticker. Thanks a bunch for all your support, you guys are awesome!

      E63 635d Auto - Transmission service.

      Hi to you all out there. I am seriously perturbed about the somewhat cockeyed notion that gearboxes in both BMW and Mercedes Benz cars are seal for life and do not require servicing !! Indeed it has been said that they (both marques ) that they only need working on when they totally fail as functioning transmissions !! My question to the forum is simply - has anyone had or got a 635 Auto that has had had a transmission service or is booked in for one and what cost is involved ? I have scrutinized the documentation/service book/record and there is no evidence of the car having had a transmission service in the year since it was first registered in July 2008. albeit the mileage is now as 133,250 miles.
