Lights flickering while driving and other problems

So I have a 325ci e46 w 125k. My lights are flickering while driving kinda looks like it blinks(turn off a little/ look like lights are low powered or sum) and turns back on. I also have another issue. My right passenger side, has started to hear a hissing or air. I can’t tell what it is. My tire pressure are okay and are where it should. My car also feels sluggish like half way on the Gas pedal n it’s like 1500rpms and takes a while to switch gears. I’m thinking it’s the fuel pump & sender...

Transmission not working

So I just finished with my engine swap on my 2001 325i auto and the engine runs perfectly, the trans seems to be making a lot of noise almost like a whining noise. I go to back it out and it felt like it was slipping. I drove it for a bit but the trans seems to be slipping a lot more, I limped it back to my driveway and it couldn’t even go up the driveway even at full throttle. I did take out all the old trans fluid and put new stuff in. When I put the new fluid in I started the car and...

I take it back home. The car never overheated. I checked the oil and the oil seemed low but still clean, not milky at all. So now I’m stuck with a car that the engine might be gone. Here is the...

Help with INPA

Hello All,

First time BMW owner. A couple months ago I picked up a 2001 BMW 325Ci. It currently has 240K miles, previous owner said that the engine was rebuild at 100K miles.

When I bought the car it had CEL on, I was getting a miss fire on cylinder #4 and #5. Sunroof was not working, driver side window didn't work and he only had the valet key!

After reading this forum with most common failure. I decided to replaced all cooling hoses, Oil separator and power steering hoses and vacuum...

E46 M3 tapping/ticking sound at 2k rpm

Hi all! I have a very disconcerning sound from my 2004 M3 177k miles. Theres a tap/ticking sound around 2000 RPMS that increases as RPMs increase. I'm wondering if its valve clearance and will a valve adjustment fix this or is there something else? Theres no vanos or motor codes. It almost sounds like rod bearings but I dont believe it to be that. No noticeable power loss. Any other ideas? Video below
