  2. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Hi there, I’ve not been able to start my BMW 318i (2006). The engine doesn’t fire and there is a clicking whilst the ignition is held in. Dashboard lights come on. Here is a video.

    One of the PAS fluid hard lines that connects one side of my steering rack to the other is badly corroded. I can’t find a supplier for these pipes and so I’ll probably have to make them with pipe and a flare tool. Does anyone know: Is there somewhere I can buy these pipes? If I have to make...

    We just bought a seemingly very good condition 2006 320i sport estate for £1700 with 107,000 miles on the clock. Three days after we took it home an engine light came on. The local garage told us the timing chain needed replaced and given the age of the car, this would be prohibitively...
