Windscreen wipers not working properly

My wipers do not work properly on intermitent. You have to hold the stock down to keep them working as soon as you let go they stop in the middle of the windscreen. Is this a motor or switch problem

Re: Temperature guage sits on blue all the time

Hi yes the needle does move from the bottom of the blue to the top. I checked the waterlevel before starting the car this am and it took less than 1/4 of a pint to bring it to the cold mark. Done approx 60 miles since and level has not dropped at all. Again I checked when the car was cold. How do I ...

Temperature guage sits on blue all the time

Hi My 318i temp guage sits on the top edge of the blue all the time. I have also noticed that the heater never really blows hot air even on full,. Could this be a head gasket problem?

Soft Clutch Pedal

Hi I am new to the site. Just bought myself a really nice 318i. There are a couple of problems.

Is there a proble...
