I had hoped this particularly annoying problem would be solved as it's all kinds of problematic when the car doesnt get warm inside. I noticed that when it's real cold the fan would not start. New fsr - problem remains. I've noticed that the fans have a whirring/whining sound when on. This is...

Started the car up new years day after a night of sitting, it didn't sound or feel like the normal startup, I could tell the cold weather had some effect on the battery. The battery light came on and went out after driving for a couple minutes. Then I noticed that my radio had shut off and all...

I set my climate control to 23°C (England) and select auto. The heater starts blowing warm air and the air temperature in the cab raises to what feels like 23°C which is great. But.... After about 10/15mins all the heater vents start to blow cold. Including foot vents and the centre vent. If...

Today it finally hit below freezing in Maryland. My 2002 325i is in a garage so it's not as cold. When I started her up today, it started just as fast as regular but with a sound I can only deacribe as a fan blowing at full blast. Its was very sudden as she drove fine with no sounds yesterday...

Hi, I know this is a common topic among the fanatics of this forum and I have searched and read a lot of threads with the same title but I am not getting the answers I want. So I just recently bought myself a BMW E46 1998 318i M43 automatic. The car generally runs fine and not giving me much...

Heya fellas, was wondering if I could get a look at a weird problem that recently reared its head. Here is a video of what happens Weird idle: http://youtu.be/JEIYMNdb-HY As you can see (and hear if you listen closely) the idle starts out about right for a cold start, and comes down nicely at...

Hey everyone, I'm new here and in desperate need of help with my 2001 330ci 5 speed. Recently it's been throwing lean codes(both banks), but bank 1 O2 sensor is reading .10v constant while bank 2 is fluctuating like it should. It has misfire on startup on cylinders 1,2,3(bank1). And now is...

Hey all, New member here! Just bought a 2002 325CI as my second drive and a bit of a project car/fixer-upper. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot of questions and problems about it here soon, but had two I wanted to run by the forum that have me stumped as I'm new to the E46: #1: When I turn the...

Hey everyone! So my 2003 325xi with 85,000km (53,000 mi) has developed an intermittent misfire, which seems to have coincided with the recent cold snaps we've been having in Canada. 1. Seems to only occur when I start the car in the morning after it's been sitting overnight and there's been a...

So my oil pan gasket is bad, but I don't have the money to get it fixed right now, and it's not a big issue because I only have to put in a quart every month or two with the slow leak. Yesterday I had to add a quart which I no big deal, but my oil cap was covered in this little yellow bubble...
