Hi, so I bought a n46 like 1 month ago and did some service like ccv+hoses, ofhg, oil change, etc. since then I had low oil light about 3 times so I started daily checking oil level. Once i came home at night I checked the oil level and it was right in the middle. The next morning I rode about...

Hey, I NEED YOUR HELP, my thread is dead so I had to create a new one (sorry admin). Read this first: Random massive oil leaks So today it happened again. After two weeks without leaking (except lil leak from oil cap) I got yellow yet again. I stopped right away and inspected the engine bay, I...

Hey, so I bought this car not too long ago and I have been monitoring my oil and coolant levels. First thing since I bought the car was a ccv change, oil change etc. Sometimes when I'm reversing there is a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust, but only when I'm in reverse. Today I had to...

Hi All. I recently filled oil in my 2002 e46 M3. This was the first time I filled to the Max mark. It's on max when the engine is cold, but after 30 minutes of highway driving, it moves slightly above the max mark. Please refer to picture for the oil level after 30 minutes of driving. Also I...

Does this look like it’s mixing oil and water? I normally drive fairly long (20+km one-way to work). I changed my oil in august and it wasn’t this bad back then. I’m thinking condensation that’s appearing from the cold weather could be a cause here. I checked the dipstick and it looks fine but I...

Hey, my car started acting really weird. At first the car sometimes did the white smoke, but not always. If I let the engine rest for awhile it disappears. Then my car just locked at 39,5L/100km average consumption. So I stopped riding. I've read something about it but can't really find an...

Hi everyone I know was hoping someone has the answer for me I jacked up the car but can only find one Allen bolt whole. I cannot find the fill and drain plug there is only one I tried searching around the diff but can't find the second one. Had anyone done the diff oil change on a compact...

I am well aware that these cars are notorious for oil leaks around the valve cover. The valve cover gasket was replaced about 20k miles ago by the previous owner (as I was told). I have recently noticed some oil leakage on one of the top valve cover bolts near the engine lift hook (images...

Hello everyone, so I've got an e46 2002 325xi with a smoking problem. Whenever the car is started and occasionally when driving an abundance of smoke blows out of the exhaust. The smoke is usually pretty white in color which I know points to coolant but I don't believe it is burning coolant as...

I’ve read online that it holds 9 quarts but castrols website says it holds 6.5. I do not have an owners manual

I decided to post this topic because, despite the innumerable previous discussions on the general topic, I couldn’t find anything on my specific situation. It’s time to change my oil again and I’ve thought about taking advantage of FCP Euro’s lifetime warranty (along with PayPal’s return...

Hey all, Changed my spark plugs on my 2006 325Ci I6 M54 yesterday, Noticed that every single one had a good amount of oil on it. Like when I took them out they'd be covered in oil almost and I had to put them in a bag There's not too much oil on the top of them but down by the screw part there...

Just as the title states, upon going to the store and back home (roughly 10 miles) my exhaust/trans/resonators are soaked. At first I thought it was coolant or trans fluid but while I was taking photos what looked like oil kept dropping on my phone/hand, so I'm not sure if it's coolant or trans...

Hey guys, hopefully there are some people on this forum who have had experience with diesel powered bmw's. Little backstory: Was drifting with my friend couple of days ago (Read was snowing heavily) everything was good, we're having a good time when in the end the car kinda straightened/spun...

I ordered this oil. There is BMW ll approval at the place I marked in the picture, but it is not written on the received product. I talked to the seller and he said it would be ok. What should I do, do you mind if I put this in the car?

Friends, I want to change the oil at home with a jack myself. but there is no jacking point in front of the car. is it possible to change it by removing it from the right or left? Or the easier way is if I pull it from the dipstick with the pump is it okay? Note; the car is a little close to the...
