  1. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi There, I have a 2004 325Ci and a couple of days ago the boot stopped opening via the button on the boot itself; it still opens via the key fob but not the button above the number plate. As I say, up until recently, they both worked! Any clues gratefully received. Cheers Austin

    Hello, I've recently purchased a 325CI automatic from 2004. I've never bought a car so old, but I always wanted this model, and I was delighted when I found this one, which is in excellent condition with only 76.000 miles. The problem is that about two weeks after buying it, I've noticed oil...

    Hello guys, I have been having a bit of a nightmare with my car lately, I had to be recovered twice and car is with the garage still. I have a "crank but no start" issue, which was fixed (car worked fine for a day) and then happened again. Car was working fine and then one morning it would...

    Hi, I have an E46 320d with the M47N[150] engine, it's on 180k miles (Engine and turbo were replaced by BMW at 100k because of swirl flap ingestion). The car has a tune from TheEnd too, I don't think this is related to the issue but just some extra info. Every 1 in 50 starts it refuses to...

Nipped out to shops about 90 mins later and my engine has started making a hell of a noise (see clip), along with a short 1-2 second hiss when it's turned back off. https://vimeo.com/362757191 Initial...

    2004 E46 330Cd Boost Problems - FIXED! Hey all, So I've not driven the car much the last few months because of a lower back problem I have, but it seems to have now developed a bit of a problem with the turbo not boosting properly. It's completely random. Sometimes it will boost fine...

    Well where to start.... A while ago I bought my 645 as a near stock example with the exception of the Kahn alloys from a dealer. Long story short the car developed a few major issues which resulted in it being unusable for 18 months while court action was dealt with. Eventually won the case, but...

    Hi all, I tried searching online for a similar issue, but cant seem to find similar problems anywhere. The car makes a whining noise in the engine bay, cant put my finger on where its coming from. You can also hear it distinctly in the cabin. And it only occurs 1000+RPM, when its idling under...
  14. Tyres and Alloy Wheels Forum
    Hi There, Can anyone send me pictures of the OEM 17-inch alloy for my 2004 325 Ci? The current 16-inch ones look pretty bland. Also, do the 17-inch or even 18-inch 'M' alloys fit? I can see that the 17-inch and 18-inch fronts are the same size wheel (width not diameter) as the OEM for this car...

    Hi all, So I ran into this problem, I left my car sitting for close to 2 days, and it completely drained the battery. I used a multimeter and found that there was a 7Ah draw when car is off/everything turned off. I was able to stop the draw by pulling the glove box light fuse. Now the problem...

    Can a bad front wheel bearing make noise and vibration on one side of the car but no vibration in steering wheel? Left side of the car vibrates (sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes no vibration at all) at highway speeds. Changed left side rear wheel bearing, still the same noise. I had...

    Hi all, I changed the differential oil today and thought to share my experience. First of all, I discovered that my car does not have a drain hole, only a fill hole. Luckily I have a fluid extractor pump so I used that to remove the old oil - about a litre. I then topped up with a Laser...

    Hi, Hoping for a few suggestions regarding this. I believe Im having an issue thats commonly known as the 'lurch' - when coming to a full stop, theres a jerk as though someone has hit me in the rear. And from what I gather, this issue can be fixed via a transmission software update? Im...
