    Side sill/ground effect coming off

    So washing wife's 5 (2006 touring) yesterday I noticed that the driver's side side sill/ground effect/whatever-its-called (along the bottom side of car) has separated from the car a bit. Quick look and it looks like the clips are still clipped into the car body, so that implies to me that the...

    Stumble on Idle TSB question

    So we had the stumble on idle TSB performed last winter. Replaced the battery in the 5 a couple of weeks ago and now its got the same symptom again. I'd thought that the TSB should have been something that wasn't affected by a loss of power to the computer. Do I need to get the TSB done...

    transmission, to flush or not to flush?

    So we were in for our regular engine oil change and the dealer said our tranny oil was black and we should have it flushed. $189. Seems steep. Checked the owner's manual and it doesn't say anything about it. I see on the web some people are for it and some against it claiming the flush can...

    Our 5 beeps at us when removing the key

    It's happened twice now. Turn the car off, remove the key and the car starts beeping at us. The FOB won't lock the car. Insert the key start the car and then turn it off, and it's fine. We had to have our FOB's reprogrammed because the car only had one key (we bought a used one) and we had to...
