I bought a Optimal aftermarket crankshaft sensor for my BMW. It was decent price. So full of expectations I replaced oem part. It’s simple procedure. Then suprise! Car won’t start! After some research I found out that pins are not the same. Optimal should be quality replacement parts from germany. Now I don’t know am […]

As you may heard bmw have a lot of problems with shaking brakes. You feel it when you brake at speeds around 100 kmh or less on your steering wheel. I replaced rotors and pads when they were worn, but I still had some shaking. There was no play when you grab and pushed a […]
