I'm nearly 16 and have an auto 2002 320i in silver and I want to do it up to have by the time im 17. It has a rough idle, I'm thinking it is from a vacuum leak. The ICV has been checked and cleaned and seems to be all good, and spark plugs have looked good enough. While idling it sounds like it...

I have been having a problem for the past 6 months, where I have been getting misfire on all 3 cylinders on a single bank at idle. When I am driving, I can't tell if the misfires are present and car seems to feels fine otherwise. I have taken in the car to a few different Mechanics and one of...

Came home after a trip for about a month of not driving my 04 330CI. Its been a bit cold (lows like 40F-45F) and I turned my car on today and noticed a few issues: Starting the car cold in the morning lead to a very rough and somewhat noisy idle noise while I was letting the car turn on. Revs...

The starter was replaced and now idle works after a rev to 4.5 rpm and then a restart... what could cause this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCNXllyaL-I&feature=youtu.be_a_

I have a 2001 330ci that I've recently been having issues with. I replaced the fuel filter about a month ago, since I was getting engine lights about low intake. That fixed the issue of that. But, im not sure what the heck is going on. I've been researching for a bit but everyone has 30...

My 2001 330i is having issue with "hunting" at idle and periodically will die under hard deceleration and/or braking. I have replaced the CCV valve and all hoses...cleaned and replaced the seals on vanos unit (everything but replacing the needle bearings and anti rattle clips on the...

I need help! I've got a 2000 323i e46 automatic and it has been a pain. My symptoms are: 1- if it hasn't been started in several hours, it idles rough, pops or tings, and dies. It does this until you hear the fan prime stop. 2- if I stop at a stoplight for a few minutes, it has very little...

Sorry, duplicate thread. Delete this please

Hi all! This is my first post and I hope it is as helpful as this forum has been to me over the years. I own a 2001 330ci manual with 96k and love it. I too have had the hot weather idle bounce and occasional stall when depressing the clutch while underway. The car did not throw a code. I...

Hi! :hi: I am a new member to the forum, but I have been using it for quite a while now, and man did it help me a lot until now. I have a very unique surging/rocking problem with my car. I have used the search functions and have been to the BMW dealership and independent shop. Nobody knows what...

Hey E46 family I am new to this and I had my post in the wrong area. I need some help. I have a 2000 323ci. I love my car but I see she's getting older. Here's some issues that just started. 1. My thermostat says -40 degrees (clearly it never gets that cold in Los Angeles) yet my AC still...

I know there has been a ton of discussion about e46's with idle issues on this forum, and I have had the same issue myself since I bought my 2001 330ci, almost 4 years ago. Since I bought it in the summer, I was not aware of how annoying it was until the fall, since I always drove with the AC...
