Hey guys, I'm being forced to sell my E46 325CI, cuz I need to replace it with a diesel :) Not as fun as the petrol, I know, but I can't not have an E46!! It's in great shape - needs a couple touch ups like a new BMW badge & side mirror fuse which is nothing. The car does need a front...

Edit: Found one, thanks.

Advice please! So the key doesn’t work anymore can’t lock the doors manually, the remote didn’t work when i bought the car. One time i got inside my locked car which didn’t open anymore by key-going in through trunk and then opened all doors with central lock button.. Now even the trunk lock...

Full set of 4 style 73 rims, 17x7 ET 47, pulled from my 2005 330xi. All 4 have tires, 2 tires are decent and the other 2 are on their way out. Minor curb rash on all 4, price reflects the condition of the rims. No bends or cracks, full set is ready to go. Price is negotiable, may be able to...

Hey guys, I was just driving to the store today and noticed some smoke coming from the engine bay, pulled over and traced it to under the intake manifold area. I figured just some oil leak from the valve cover gasket and didnt think too much of it. After coming out of the store, the car was...

I have a 2001 330ci with harman kardon speakers and the subs and amp is one piece attached to the top of the trunk. A while ago my subs went out and I did some research and found that from all the rattling the coil could be broken so I took the amp apart and the coil looks fine, its connected...

Hi everyone, long time lurker. I am very sad to be going through the process of selling my E46, it has been an incredible journey and I am without a doubt going to return to the platform once in a better position. As I am wrapping up my university studies, I have to let go of the car. I've put...

So I just bought 99' 318i with 222k on the clock. The overall look of the car seems very good. Interior is a bit dirty and near tires I can see that there was rust which was fixed with some kind of rust paste repair kit. Now this is my second car and Im not a car guy at all so I just blindly...

Hello I am new to this forum but recently I found an E46 323ci and I would like to buy it. BMW rad 3 Coupé 323 Ci (E46) Here is the link but since I am from Slovakia it is obviously in Slovak language. It has 200 000 miles. And anything that you need to know I can translate. It looks fine to me...

So, I’m doing a transmission swap and I understand that there is a lot of information about people doing already. I’ve done two months worth of research and I couldn’t find the answers I need. I have mechanical experience so I have no problem with the work I just don’t want to spend $1500 plus...

Hi guys, new member here! I recently bought an automatic 330xi from a friend 180k km, he changed the whole cooling system; the system was exploding because over-pressure, resulted to be a head gasket that previous owner didn't told but admitted she knew. He sold it to me for 1500€ and I...

Unfortunately, I think it is time to maybe let go of my M3. The time I have been putting into the start of my career has led to less time for the M3. I am in no rush to sell. I am looking to sell for the right price and to the right future owner. I bought the car about two and a half years ago...

Bought a 2002 330CI that started but didn't run. It was previously broken into from the trunk, and it only has one key. It had a known low oil pressure issue when I bought it. 1. Dropped the oil pan and sure enough the oil pump nut was backed off, I tack welded it back on. Checked one...

Hey everyone! I was looking at getting some Rotiform RSE’s and was wondering if i could pull off a 17x8 +35 or a 17x9 +40? Which one would be better fitting? I’m looking to be as flush as possible without modifying fenders. Also would 245/40/17s fit? Ideally looking at running the meatiest tires...

Hi everyone, I have been researching this topic on various forums and I find myself confused. I understand that the M Parallel rims were not intended to be on a 3 series, let alone a non M 3 series. I also understand that the offsets on these rims are an incorrect fitment for this car, plus I...
