Hi Firas and welcome to the forum. Please refer to my blog post about [url=http://www.bmwe36blog.com/2007/12/12/fixing-e36-heated-mirrors-diy/]how to fix BMW e36 heated mirrors[/url]. I hope this helps.

About the internal lights, in my car, they stay on for like 10 seconds then fadeout... I'm not sure about what you mean by 3 times though?

I mean that when i close the car by the remont control, and try to open the hand at my door (driver door) the interior lights turned on!!

Sorry can't help with that, although I've seen it once or twice on other cars (mine doesn't do that). I didn't try to do it 3 times or more to see how it reacts...

thank you very much man

you're welcome

hii.. i want to ask another thing.. i have an M43B16 motor.. how much fuel it will take if i want to calculate the Km/Liter
my car drive 7 km/Liter.. and i hear from my friends who have like my car, they told me that his car drive 9 km/Liter, is this right? or i have a problem with my car? i wish you understand me because iam not very good in english

Your friend's car consumption is about right. In my car, M42 (1.8), I'm getting something like that.

do you think that i have problem in my car?!! please help me.. and if yes please tell me what to do !!

I suggest you start by taking it to a mechanic to run a diagnosis for the car. This should give you a list of faults that would give you a clear idea about any problems that your car may have.
