Also a slight shake through steering wheel when...

(M54b30 swapped 323ci. ms42 swapped to ms43) Current major issue with the car, while driving the throttle pedal acts weird, the throttle will open more or less than it should, relative to the pedal position. Sometimes...

    I got a 2003 325i in limp mode. It acts like it’s in 3rd gear, and none of the gear selection icons show. When I first got this car it had a really low idle, and sometimes would stall, but it was doing great until this happened. See scanner codes below.

    Help! I drive a 2003 325i & I don’t know much about cars. I recently went over a speed bump and heard a loud thud when the car came down. I knew something underneath got damaged but didn’t pay much attention to it. The following day, I drove my car out to the store and when I came out there...

    Hello, I have a problem that I can not seem to solve. I had a bad transmission (5hp19) on my 2003 330ci (GCC - GULF). I changed it with a used one (Japanese). Now the problem is after it reaches operating temperature I get an error, it goes to limp mode, and sometimes only 4th or 5th gear is...

    Hey guys, I have a 2003 e46 330i. Recently I’ll be driving for about 10min and then the car starts jerking and a random thud and goes into limp mode. Not sure what the problem is. I am getting a code for a crankshaft position sensor so I went ahead and ordered one. If I pull over and wait a few...

    P1633 is the only code im getting (only after the eml comes on, and I would have to clear this code for it to go back to normal) So this recently started happening, but on occasion. I would say once every 1-2 weeks, it usually happens when the engine is warm and has been shut off for 20-45...

    Hello, I have recently done some repairs to my 2005 325Ci SULEV (M56). For background, I had a fatal transmission (ZF 5h19) failure that involved the car having it out. Naturally, as any e46 owner, I took to the toolbox and removed the trans. Finally, I got it back from the repair shop and went...
