fix

Hey Everyone, Two weeks ago I bought a 2003 330xi and I have already replaced the spark plugs, and fixed rust and now I am working on the Ebrake (just waiting to find a kit for cheap) Anyway my car is leaking oil because one of the holes for the oil pan going into the block is stripped. Is...

Hey Fanatics! After a long time I decided to fix my leaky doors on my sedan. I installed brand new Vapor Barriers on my front two doors, and cleaned the door drains. According to my friend who is a Technician at the local stealership; the design of the door on the E46 allows for water to enter...

Hi everyone, I'll try to make this as concise as possible. Yesterday I was changing my oil (2005 325ci), and the oil plug broke. I did not realize it was broken until I went to but it back in. I didn't think much of it, and bought a new plug and put it in. Today I noticed some leaking and...

Hello, I have searched for a similar situation but couldn't seem to find any posts on it. It seems like it would have happened to someone else. While diagnosing my coolant leak, I removed the air box. I'm doing so, I accidentally broke the top off the MAF. To where you can grab the plastic...

Hi I just bought an 2002 330Ci. There's a few immediate things I want to get done and I was hoping for some help. Firstly, I posted prior but did not really get a sufficient answer... I want to add music playing to my car. Sadly I can't just get the simple $40 solution since I don't have the...

Hi, I have just replaced my o2 pretty cat sensor on my first bank after getting a fault code. Reason I only replaced on is because the other one was the wrong type. But now since I replace it the new o2 sensor is throwing miss fire codes for 1 and 3 and 2 fuel trim malfunctions any help would be...

Hey Fanatics, I ordered a door lock repair kit and had trouble with the spring. I put the lock back in (broken) just so it could look like the car was locked to thieves. Well little did I know that if someone put a key in, the lock could come out. My sister did exactly that and I have all the...

I accidentally ordered the wrong color code, and the return policy at Dr. Color Chip sucks, but this is for an e46 - maybe other models too... The bottle is SEALED. Color is Steel Blue Metallic - 372 I will part with the Kit for $50 or sell just the bottle of unopened paint (1oz), for $20...

Hey My steering wheel has a nice little tear in it. Surely this has happened to a few others out there, has anyone discovered a decent fix?

Hi, so I bought my 2003 330xi a week ago and the sunroof does not work. It will go up and down in the back but not forward and when I try there's a lot of loud repeated clicking. The drivers side of the sunroof appears to be higher than the passengers side leading me to believe that the...

Does anyone know a really good indy repair shop in the Washington , D.C. , or maryland area. I used a shop (Rossi's) in SilverSpring, MD for years but was finally cheated to many times. I live in Washington and need to find a shop that can diagnose my car problems or just somewhere that I can...

I recently swapped in an imola red m3 interior into my car and found that both rear seats have indents in the leather from shipping. What can I do to remove the indentations? I have heard hot water or alcohol but would like to hear from a professional first.

Could anyone elaborate on my recent car diagnosis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABS/DSC Diagnosis Status: ERROR -> Read the error memory...! Fault Code : F152 152 DSC button Fault Code ...

When I roll my driver side front window up and down it makes a horrible popping sound and moves around. When the window is halfway down it is very loose, I can move it around with my hand and I can't do that on any of my other windows. It moves like it is out of alignment with a guidance track...

My car is auto (if it helps, I would rather be driving a manual but I'm stuck with auto :tsk:) but to be more specific, it's Steptronic. As I'm accelerating and my car reaches about 6,000+ rpms, it makes a loud whistling sound that's easily heard from my friend while he's driving his E46. Also...

Hey guys i'm scared my subframe is gone *looks at sig* I thought it'd be useful to post up what dealers you've used to check your subframe & what mods you had on (if any) so people can figure out what dealers are more mod 'friendly' and what aren't. Car: Dealer: Mods: (if any) Comments: I...
