Search Results for ‘front end’

Well, first thing’s first. I am BACK. I contemplated posting the following anecdotes as individual responses to existing questions, but figured releasing them as one overwhelming heap is more in line with typical E46 ownership. In my last post I explained my thoughts on why this generation of 3...

Hey all - I have through the majority of the forums on front end rattles for the E46. I am still stumped . I am getting a what seems to be metal on metal noise when hitting short sharp bumps at lower speeds (from the passenger side) - it sounded to me like it was the strut mount not fully seated...

Im looking at a 04 330i sedan, im new to cars in general, but this one had the front driver side wheel hit, he said he replaced the control arms and bushings, sway bar endlinks, and tie rods, he says it still needs an alignment.

When I drive at high speed and brake the steering wheel shakes while the car is braking anytime I am in the 45-55MPH range. I changed both front tires and had both tires high speed balanced. Yet problem still persists. Any ideas on what this problem could be?

My car was keyed real bad and the hood damaged so the body shop have to order a new hood and paint the fenders. My insurance is paying to order a new hood and paint the whole front-end. My question is what else would I need to order to change the front end to the facelifted version? I might as...
