Hey guys, I just joined. Tried searching to no avail. I got an e46 Touring and the retractable roll-up cargo cover is crooked. When it's retracted you can clearly see the left edge is lower than the right, and when it's extended you can clearly see more tension on the right edge while the left...

well it's been almost a month so I thought I'd share it here. no longer own an E46 touring. I'm happy I was in a BMW when I crashed, probably saved my life. I somehow managed to climb out of the passenger door relatively uninjured. not sure whether or not I'll be buying another or leaving the...

Hi all, new here! I just picked up a 2000 323 ti a couple weeks ago as a project. Its pretty beat up tbh, but I got it as a project. Any pointers specific to touring models that I should be aware of? Its pretty easy to find potential issue that come with the general e46 platform, but I'm...

hi, Does anyone know where I can get my hands on an m sport body kit for my 320i. I have an Australian right hand drive 320i touring that I would like to put the nicer body kit on and I'm wondering if any companies make them or if anyone in Australia is willing to sell me one. thanks, Liam

So, I am in need of new suspension pieces for my e46 wagon. It was sitting for years and now the suspension is completely shot. I don’t have the biggest budget but I’m torn on what I should do. Should I go for just an eBay coil over kit for the front and rear? (The eBay kit is about 250$) But I...

is it possible to have a severe lean issue on one bank? i know i have some minor vacuum leaks causing 6% on bank 2 but bank 1 is showing 20+% at times is this even possible or is a sensor dying? my idle barely flutters on a cold start after sitting for days but on normal start and when driving...

Hello, i have been trying to solve this issue for a few days, reading the Bentley manual and scowering through forums but have not crashed in to a solution. The car in question, a 2000 330xi wagon, automatic, has been sitting for five weeks, started every second week. Now, at the latest start...

Hello everyone, my 2001 bmw e46 touring has been having a issue lately with the rear glass. For a while it would open randomly when the car was parked but now it does not open at all. if anyone has any info or knows how to fix the problem I would really appreciate it.

I have an OEM iPod interface that currently connects to a 30 pin cord. I was wondering if anyone had tried using an adaptor from the 30pin to lightning or 30 pin to aux and if it works. Looking to play music off my phone and wondering which of the options works for newer gen iphones.

Doing some work on the car and trying to install an aux cord when I found this adapter behind the radio. There was a cord running from the “radio” port to the back of the radio. Has anyone seen these before and how does the “iPod” port work? Thanks for any help.

So I'm going to check out an '03 325i wagon in the next couple days which is a car I've had my eye on for a while (I'm glad I was able to find this community first!). I was just wondering if you guys had some tips for what to look for and what to watch out for before buying. In addition, the...

Hello forum. I recently purchased my first BMW automobile (already had an r1150gs). The 2001 325i wagon I bought has just over 200k miles on it but seems like it's been well maintained so I'm looking forward to seeing how long I can make it last and plan on being on here alot to take advantage...

I'm thinking about taking my touring to an autocross next weekend. I used to do this a bunch, but the classing has changed since I stopped paying attention. Based on my reading of the rule book, would my touring be in STR, the same class and Miata and S2000? That seems like an uphill battle...
