Car is an '01 325i 4 door with the double VANOS engine in it. I need the oil capacity. I need to know how to set the clock. I have the method of reseting the oil service indicator from the last time I did this job.

Turn car on (don't need to start it). If the car has OBC, change it to the clock mode. Turn the RIGHT knob in the cluster CCW/CW to adjust back/forward. Pressing in will reset to the (nearest?) hour. It syncs with the radio automatically. -- Kazuto Okayasu Administrative Computing Services University of California, Irvine ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 14:16:49 +0100 (CET) From: John Firestone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Marco Romani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: BMW UUC digest <[email protected]> Subject: Re: One less BMW Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Thu, 2 Nov 2006, Marco Romani wrote: > That's all fine and good until some "texting" moron wipes out mom on her way > to the grocery store. > > http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/transportation/15729902.htm > >From the article: ... in one case, a Colorado teen served nine days in jail after he struck and killed a bicyclist with his car while texting in November 2005. Apparently, life as a bicyclist in Coloroda is cheap. :( I once asked a Danish bicycle mechanic why Copenhagen drivers were so careful about cyclists. He laconically replied: "Because they know it hurts." I doubt enough Americans will ever develop that understanding. -John '96 318is ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 05 Nov 2006 07:47:41 -1000 From: Jay G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: <misc> headliner repair? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a friend of mine who did a few headliner repairs before recommended that i just go to a shop to get it fixed when it happened to me...he said this was one of those jobs where paying $150 was well worth the price... i think someone mentioned earlier that its the degradation of the foam that will cause problems with the fabric not sticking... here's what a search on bimmerforums netted if you wanna try it yourself: http://uucurl.com/x.php?p=2117 http://uucurl.com/x.php?p=2118 good luck...

This should cover most of the major questions, please email me if interested or to get pictures. - rob 1991 BMW 525i 115,xxx miles, automatic, tan leather interior in great condition - no rips/tears/wear spots, tan exterior, A/C, AM/FM/Tape, power windows, mirrors and door locks, on-board computer, heated seats.
