Possible differential issue but I am not sure

BMW X5 2012 Xdrive35i  118000 miles
At very low speed or no speed as you begin to apply gas and attempt to turn either direction you get a jolting jerking feel coming from what seem like the front end. Does not happen any longer once you are rolling above 15mph or so. Just happens with steering wheel turning in either direction from low speed or beginning with no speed. The more the steering wheel is turned in either direction the more jerking action you feel. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bmw smoking

BMW X5 2003 WBAFB33551LH26451 250000 miles
Bmw x5 4.4i. When driving, especially long drive or at a particular speed, there's this smoke that enters the car and its irritating to the eyes. I always put all my windows down before driving so that the smoke won't affect me. It's not w visible smoke but when it starts, you'll know. How do I fix it?

Mine is the 2001-2003 X5 and I just realized there was no catalytic converter all this while. Maybe that's why I'm not sure

Horn quit working

BMW X5 2006 4 door, 3.0i, hatchback 165000 miles
One day, while pushing the horn, it just slowly died. It started off sounding normal but then it just diminished and the sound died off while I was using it. Anyone know what would cause this or how to fix it?

My comment is aimed at start my car, not at the people on the site. Once i signed up there did not seem to be much info to browse or places to go on site to get info. This is why i asked if i was doing things the right way on the site. Maybe a navigation map would help.

I just don't have time right now. I do not know when, but it will be some time before i can deal with these things.

Sounds like a starter solenoid. It's a bmw so probably they will recommend a new starter, starter solenoid if it's not built into the starter. Could also be a weak battery. I am fairly new to bmws but i was blown away by everything they do. Repairs usually seem to include replacing more than1 part, then checking sensors, electrical connectors, wiring, inspecting everything just mentioned and any signs of corrosion must be eliminated. You have a lot of miles on it. By now you should have rebuilt it at least once. They say low pressure fuel pumps should be replaced between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, and the high pressure fuel pumps around 100,000 to120,000 miles if i remember right. Seems they have a very long list of preventative maintenance that calls for replacing just about every system in the car. They claim a lot of different sorts of failures will either seriously injure the car or totally trash it so you should do all this. Also, if you watch some of the people that work on these all the time they will tell you what parts you should replace once you are deep into disassembly even though they have not yet failed. It's so labor intensive just getting to what needs replacing they say you are better off replacing known prblem parts while you have everything apart already. Good luck and have fun doing it!

Bmw x5 4.4i

BMW X5 2003 WBAFB33551LH26451 200000 miles
Bmw x5 4.4i. When I start the car, the car drives like something is dragging it or maybe it's not in drive properly until recently I noticed the gear indicator doesn't show on the odometer. So now when I want to start it I put it in neutral and wait till it shows on the odometer and start it and it drives well. If I put it to park the light goes off and I have to repeat the process of putting it to neutral again. What could be the problem?
