    Hello everyone. I have looked on forums from 2013 about an issue that seems pretty common. I have a 2004 320d, bought it from a friend that had it sitting for 2 years. He mentioned that he drove it fine, went on holidays and the fuel pump wouldn’t engage. Here is what I found, and done...

    Hey all, I have 2002 320d (150hp, M47) with auto gearbox. The car is idling at ~700rpm, which cause the red oil pressure light to turn on when the engine is warm and I'm at a stop. As soon as I rev a tiny bit, the light turns off. The light doesn't appear when cold, and I noticed that the...

    Hi everyone, I've been reading every forum and article on the Internet regarding the title, but I am not sure about the "conclusion". I have (obviously) two choices, either buy a 320d Manual , or a 330d Automatic. What's the matter you might ask? Well, I've read that the 330d is way more...

    Hey. Anyone can give me an idea why this is? I just replaced the injector tips in my 1998 320d with genuine Bosh repair kits but now it won´t start! Cracked off the injectors and it´s squirting fuel but no sign of life.

    I changed my turbo about 2 days ago as my old one began to whistle and burn oil; I was puffing blue smoke wherever I was going. I decided to replace it along with the intercooler as my one had two screws in it causing a boost leak. After replacing it, without the knowledge that I had to purge...

    I got a 2003 320D M47 facelift and i was wondering if there is an actual blow off valve on it since when you release the pedal at 2500rpm you can hear the whooosh sound If there is one is it recirculating or voids the excess in the atmosphere If its voiding one can it be made to recirculate...

    Hi. So yesterday I replaced my intake manifold + egr valve + deleted the swirlf flaps + replaced most of the vacuum hoses. All went good except the maf sensors connector I got was a bit different, but still managed to make a connection. Problem - Now when accelarating there is more noise as to...

    Hi, so yesterday I was driving my e46 320d facelift, manual, and I was waiting on a red light, the light turned green, I accelerated quick and wanted to shift to second, and I either missed it or the car broke on me, I thought I broke the transmission because I couldn't shift. Stopped on the...

    I know i have to change the turbo soon, but could this be possible from a blown turbo? Or could it be a faulty injector? At 1800-2000 RPM it starts to stutter with white smoke. And after that it disappears and shoots black smoke at 4000 RPM.

    I have a e46 2003 320d and a prior and acuring problem is that the angle sensor went bad, today i did the steering wheel retro fit, i understand why the cruise control doesnt work. But nor do the volume buttons, and the steering wheel buttons arent lighting up. Any help would be apreciated.

    Hey, I have 2004 e46 320cd facelift, it vibrates in around 2-2,5k rpm depending on how much i floor it, u can feel it most in 3rd and slightly 4th gear. I had other priorities as it wasnt that big of a problem but lately it started to vibrate so much, especially when you step on the gas to like...

    Hi, I'm having some boost trouble on my E46 320D Automatic from 2002 when accelerating. I'm trying to get from 0 to 100KM in 10 seconds as official information from BMW is saying my car is capable off. As I accelerate my car boost doesn't come until I hit 3000-3500rpm. Which makes my car to...
