I have a 2001 E46 330ci. It came with auto wipers from the factory. I wanted to add the auto headlights function too. So I bought a new Light switch (with the auto function), coded the car with the matching VIN and km to get rid of the tamper dot, bought a Rain and light sensor too. Now the...

Hello everyone, If you guys have been following some of my post, I'm currently still working on this car. Its been about 4 months now since I failed my previous smog. I have no engine codes. Can't seem to figure out what other options I have. I tried all the drive cycles, last smog check I did...

Hey everyone, I’m Dave. I just bought my first bmw about a month ago (a 2000 328ci). The previous owner told me the crankshaft position sensor was bad and failed sometimes (I haven’t had any problems thus far but I thought it would be smart to change it anyways) so I bought a new sensor and...

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’ll be driving my 2001 325i :excited:and all of the sudden it feels like the drivers side front wheel grabs for a second and then lets go. Then the yellow dash DSC and “Brake” light will come on and stay on until I shut the car off. They usually reset. Occasionally, when driving, the yellow...

Can anyone help. The problem is simple. Though the car (2002 coupe with 63000 miles) is running and driving great the gear selection indicator in the dash keeps flashing and, without either brake or throttle input, the car drops into neutral after a couple of seconds. Like I say the car drives...

Hi, Long story short: no crank. First I thought it might be the battery on the key so EWS was not recognizing it, but then I noticed that in the small display on the right "P" was missing. After some digging I found out that the sensor (Transmission Range Sensor) which sends the gear leaver...

My 328i just started to overheat in this summer heat and we cannot seem to find any problems with the cooling system ALTHOUGH there is no auxiliary fan sensor box mounted on the shroud and I can't remember if there ever was one. Can't even find a cable to run to the box either if there was one...

Hello all, I have lurked on this board for years now and have gained so much insight from the members posts, so firstly thanks to all who contribute. Well, I've come into a situation that has me baffled and from what I can glean from using the search, it's fairly uncommon. This morning with...

Hey everyone, Been noticing the past few days that my fuel gauge doesn't actually show that I am using any fuel, even though I am driving in excess of 120km per day. It initially settled at just above 1/2 a tank, I filled up the tank completely and now it shows full all the time, even after...

Hello! I'm going to be running a dual caliper setup for my Drift 330i. I need to remove my rear abs sensor, in order to weld on my dual caliper bracket. What would this disable besides ABS (obviously)? maybe like Speedo, or odometer? Thank you for anyone that replies! ;) If anyone has any...

Hi all! I own a 2005 330i with 193k+ miles. Bought it for my kid half a year ago. Still runs great. However, we've noticed a couple months back that the thermostat gauge is reading half way. We recently drove it on a 6 and another 8 hour trip and the engine did not overheat even in...

Hello, I am a new member on the e46 forums. I'm not sure if this is really a thing that can be fixed without getting a new windshield but I thought it would be good to ask. I just got a new windshield replaced on my BMW 330Ci and honestly it was the crappiest job ever. Not only did they steal...

Dears, hi :hi: I've faced with some problem with my cabriolet. First of all, i don'd have problems with 'closing' only with "opening" :) My roof doesn't go further to the "trunk" and system gives something like "error" and everything stops. That section where is roof rear glass stops in the...

Hello! I have a weird problem after i replaced the alternator (The old one was noisy). For example, after i turn the engine off, the ABS light comes and stays ON for 1 second. Same applies for other lights from the OBD, if i have ASC disabled and High Beem or handbrake lights on, they are...

Hey guys I recently bought a ZHP sedan to upgrade from my rusty 325ci. Well, the rear view mirror was unattached and as I was putting it back on, I noticed that the rain sensor was unplugged and the connector was broken. The 4 wires are just dangling. Anyone know where I can buy just the 4 pin...

So, I was driving back to Arizona on Monday after Thanksgiving break and passed through Flagstaff. It was below 30 degrees and snowing hard. I was moving from a stop and trying to catch up to traffic speed (had to pull over to the side of the freeway for a few minutes) when I lost traction for a...
