Thanks Wolferj,
I was showing as "invisible" and my posts didn't appear under new posts.
I needed email verification for some reason.
Changed my email address and, voila, I'm good to go again.

[pilsberry]

Hmmm, still appearing invisible. Red dot instead of green.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bryan

[wolferj-RIP]

Click into your User Control Panel and choose Edit Options. The invisible setting is there to enable or disable.

[pilsberry]

Thanks,
Don't know how that was selected, but I put it back.
Bryan
Having fun with my new money pit!

hello gang,

New to this forum, new to BMWs. I just bought this neglected 318ti that has issues with either EWS or DME or both. I get to do some digging on it. First I thought I would run the VIN# WBACG732TAS96741. The folks runnning this thread seem to have access to a better VIN decoder.

I ran my number on another decoder, but it doesn't list all the options I am pretty sure it has, like the california sunroof.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you so very much. I look forward to getting this little car back on the road. You can't beat the price at $500 and a tow from 1 1/2 miles away. It looks like the folks on this forum are some good people.
