    Hello everyone, I'd like some help with my issue. So I parked my 46 on 30.12.2023 into my yard and haven't touched it for a week straight. This led to a dead battery with a 9.8V when the car is not turned on (used test 9 to see voltage) Well, what am I supposed to do with a dead car? I...

    Few years ago the starter began working intermittently. I roll started the car until I had the funds to for parts and labor at a local transmission shop. They installed a lightweight flywheel, new clutch, and new bosch starter. ~$1000 later I turn the key, and the car starts as it should...

    About three weeks ago thieves stole my E46, thanks to Apple air tags I managed to get her back. For context the thieves broke my passenger window, unplugged 7 fuses then broke my steering wheel lock and unplugged the computer control unit that is located under the driver side kick panel after...

    To start this off, I'd like to give some reference to the problems that I've been having as of recently. First off, I witnessed the power draining out of my battery quite fast in the last month or so, and it seems like the cooling fan turns on for hours on end until the battery in my e46 (2002...

    Jump to the most recent post. Car cranks now, but misfires a lot. Hi guys, my 2002 330i 137k, cranks but won't start. Here's a list of events that have transpired so far: -Brought my running car to my dad's place to replace the CCV, since I thought it was leaking oil. I had already changed the...

    Hi all, I’m fighting a bit of a weird one. I own a 2000 323ci manual and have recently purchased the car. Going through I found it had a p0340 code and ultimately thought it would be an easy change of the sensor. Changed the sensor and found no change so I decided to check the wiring. Iv found...

    Hi - 2 days ago i noticed my both wing mirrors had been adjusted to the widest outward position. I re-adjusted the mirrors and took the car for a drive, stopped and locked the car, when I came back and unlocked the car the mirrors began to readjust themselves to the same outward position. Today...

    Ok so I just wrapped up some rear subframe repairs and reinforcement on Sunday, took it for a 3-5mile test drive and the battery telltale kept randomly turning on and off, usually when engine speed was above 2500rpm but not consistently. I even stopped and checked the battery connection was...

    2001/2002 E46 Compact I used to have a problem where, after a power wash, my key fob wouldn't work for a while, no lock/unlock, no trunk release (presumably until water evaporated from somewhere), only the manual key hole would work or the central locking button inside, and when this happened in...

    Hey y'all, new here. I was driving my 04 325i touring the other day when the warning light for my passenger side headlight came on. Right about when it lit up, I noticed what smelled like burning matches, so I pulled over to try and diagnose. No visible smoke, the smell only seems to come...

I have taken it to two indy mechanics and have replaced/fixed a bunch of parts and leaks, but I keep running into the same code... Cylinder #3 misfire (plus an intermittent #6 misfire but its...

    So i’ve had this car for almost a year now, and it’s still eating me alive that I haven’t this problem out yet. I’ve posted about before but I feel like I was not looking in the right direction and i’m still not 100% sure but I feel like i’m closer. To give a little detail this problem only...

    This just started happening recently, but my stereo has been cutting out intermittently when using electrical things, like blinkers, turning on my headlights, or when my DSC comes on. Sometimes it will cut out when I put some power down, or when shifting gears. Most of the time, only the audio...

    Hello anyone reading this, I have a e46 330ci convertible with the 5spd manual. The car has been sitting for months at my cousin's house, today he sent me a video of the car smoking. The weird part about this situation is that the car was not running at all and hadn't been started in weeks, but...
