    I got the audio zone fuel pressure test but the it's smallest adapter is just slightly to big for the fuel rail valve and it doesn't hold pressure. Does anyone one know what the correct adapter is and where I can find one? Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a smoke tester can't...

    Hello, I have problem with my e46 m3 2002. I have searched for this problem since 2015 and still no luck. When operating the roof, there is no pressure. It will latch the roof but nothing more. If I push the button someone else can help the roof to go down manually. I can hear the engine...

    Hello, I have a 2003 325 Ci Convertable (automatic, in UK) which has the bifecta issue (DSC+amber brake light warning). Plugging in a code reader lists "5E21 Pressure sensor 2". I have replaced this but the code was still present. 6 months later I have replaced the sensor again in case the first...

    I have made some bad decisions in my time, but I think my choice of mechanic has taken the top spot for worst decision so far. A series of bad choices on my part led me to let an incompetent mechanic change the engine in my 320Ci, and after getting the engine changed I have an issue that is...

    Hi all, I have these tires on my 2001, 330xi (see pics). They are 215/45R17 91H (see pictures). First, I am wondering if these are OK on my car ( I bought it quite recently and get now more into making sure all is fine). Reason I got started with the tires is that I wanted to pump them up...

    Hey guys My e46 is currently experiencing this problem just recently whereas upon cold starting the car - car been sitting for a while - it always initially turns over to about 600rpm instead of the usual 1000rpm before promptly dying. Upon second turn over it always starts and idles perfectly...

    Hey everyone, I have had my fair share of coolant issues with my old e46. I am pushing 240k and I love the car, it's just once a year just about for the last three years I have a coolant system failure. Tis the season and today I left my car running in between deliveries to charge my battery as...

    So for the past two months, I have noticed my oil pressure light (RED) stays on longer than it used to (1-3 seconds). I have no trouble with the pressure once it's on. Once it's been started, when I start it again after getting gas or running in somewhere, the oil pressure light goes out...

    Okay! I drive a 2004 325ci with just over 160k on it. Great car, I love it. Yesterday, I drive the car to the auto store and it starts and drives fine, as usual. After being inside for a couple minutes, I come back out and my car will NOT start. It cranks forever, the battery is tested and good...

    Hello everyone, first post here! :hi: I have a twelve year old 325xi and with what appears to be a common problem - flickering oil pressure light at idle after driving in warm weather. Applying a bit of gas extinguishes it and it only appears in Drive (automatic transmission.) I went to a...

    I am going to buy a 325i this weekend. I have a report from the last oil change - it says "cooling system is not holding pressure". Does this mean I should stay away? That's catastrophic and indicates a blown head gasket, right? But then underneath it just recommends a standard radiator drain...

    Ok I'm getting a random stall where I have to prime the fuel system with about. 3 key turns and it'll start back up. Sometimes more severe sometimes starts right back up. It has a new fuel pump and fuel filter. Could this be the fuel pressure regulator?

    Without a doubt, the biggest pain in the ass in our cooling systems is the plastic expansion tank, which is fickle as a motherf*cker. I'm starting this thread with the intention of finding a solution to improve on the cooling system after my car decided to take a dump on me. Specifically, let's...

    I Have a 2003 325i. I bought a new set of Riken Raptor 205/55 R16 HR 91H M+S tires about two months ago. I'm trying to find the correct tire pressure for my tires/car. I found a tire pressure chart in my door jam but I'm not sure how to read it. I checked the tire pressure with my digital gauge...

    I'm having some difficulties with my 2003 325i sedan. The car has almost 90,000 miles on it and recently the red oil pressure light came on while idling at a red light. The light would turn off once I accelerated. I've done a lot of searching on here but don't know what else to do. I brought the...
