And we all know that bmw engines are jam packed and the tank is abnormally HUGE soo if i could relieve some space for it then...

Hi all, I'm a new e46 owner and this is my first post on the forum - probably of many, so hello and thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me. Today I started tackling the first of many jobs. Starting with a new MAF which took all of 5 minutes and what seemed an extremely overpriced...

I'm hoping this isn't a regulator issue, and a relatively easy fix... My driver side window has been gapping lately. It still does the 1/4" drop when I open the door. When I shut it, it looks like the first picture attached. It's not always that wide, but most of the time it is when I close the...

I've got a 2002 325i. Vandals broke the rear passenger window, so after cleanup I recovered the red clip and installed it on the new window. I removed the lower inside trim and lower outside weatherseal but I still can't figure out how to maneuver the window to go inside the tracks on each side...

How about a (moderated) sticky topic for donor car disassembly FAQ ? Growing the class depends 100% on new cars being built, so how about using the group's collective wisdom to save new builders time and trouble ??? My first submission would be: Remove the front seats and side windows before...

I just bought my e46 last Friday (330xi, 2003). I looked at NJ laws and the only limits are on the front windows - NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED, AT ALL in NJ... Does any one here have tints on their front windows in NJ? if so, how much of a hassle is it?... There are no limits in the back windows and...

Hey guys. I've had my 330ci for around 9 months now and naturally a few small problems have popped up. I decided to put off any mods before these are sorted out and for maintenance. 1. Passenger's side headlight flickers off when it angles to the right. For some reason, when the headlights are...

Thanks for any who read.. Passenger side window just "started" stopping half way down when operated. No grinding, no other noise, it just stops half way down. Goes right back up using the window switch. All the other windows work fine. I've read a days worth of posts, but most deal with...

Hi everyone, I've been working on rebuilding my e46 sedan slowly over the past few months after an accident and although I'm through the worst of it, now it's come for me to do something about my passenger rear door. At first, I had just used a heat gun and tried to suction it out. It looks...

My window switches have broken off, which I know is a common thing for e46's. I just don't want to dish out 50-60 dollars a switch.. does anyone know of any place where one could find them cheaper? or is 50 about as low as you'll find?

Hi guys, I cannot find this part anywhere online. It's the trim that connects to the chassis / roof. It can either be black or chrome, mine being black. I need the corner part pictured and also the rest of it that connects from there to the front. Does anyone know where I can find this part...

2001 E46 M3 Very My passenger window doesn't go down soon enough. The door needs to be opened too far before it does. The amount it goes down is fine, and it does go down every time. This is a new problem, and I'm worried it might get worse, and actually break the glass. My driver's side is...

Hey, new member here. I have a 2002 330ci and I walked out to my car today and found that the windows were all halfway down and both the doors were unlocked. My keys were with me the whole time and I'm positive I didn't unlock my doors myself. Anyone else have this issue or know what this could...

I've had a decent rattle coming from my passenger rear window area for the two months I've owned the car. I know I know, there's a ton of other threads on this issue already, but I think my issue is slightly different. The rattling gets worse when music is played, but oddly it gets better if I...

My driver window is taking a long time to go down and longer to go up. I don't think its the regulator because it moves up and down all the way, just squeaks and creaks. Also takes a good amount of time to complete the process. Does my window just need to be re-aligned or is it my window...

I know a lot of times this is the regulator but I think this is something different. Last night my girlfriend spilled juice by the cup holders that spilled also onto the window switches by the shifter. Immediately after both front and rear windows went the whole way down, and got stuck in...

Problem, I used the window switch from the driver seat to roll down the right rear passenger window. During that operation I heard what sounded like a screw loosen and fall into inside doorwell. After which window would not go up or down. Using information from this forum I took the right rear...

whats up guys this is my first post and hopefully i can get some answers from the experts themselves on this problem im having. So as i drive down the highway at speeds more than 80mph the top of my window slightly moves out of the moulding of the car and starts making this annoying whistling...

So the other day I finally got around to replacing the lower trim on my rear vent window. The replacement went well after looking at some YouTube videos. All that is except for the nut I dropped into the b-pillar frame. Does any one know the part number for the two flanged nuts that the vent...

My rear window is not working, but I can hear the motor making noise. Someone in my backseat may have forced it down? Not sure if thats the possible cause. When it stopped working there was like a cracking noise, and after I pulled the window up by hand, there was some kind of grease on the...
