  1. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    In the last year, I've had some problems with the oil level sensor. The oil level indicator turns yellow ten seconds after the car has started and it stays on for about 10 seconds. Today I went to the garage for an oil service and I asked them to replace the oil sensor. They did it. But...

    Hi! I have refurbished my tow bar since I had a gear malfunction in it's gearbox. Now I'm trying to get rid of the error message. I was hoping it would help me to reprogram the AHM module since it seemed to have something to do with the tow bar but it made no difference. I believe the module...

    Hi. I had a one series BMW and bought winter wheels which were hardly used and now sit in my garden after BMW stopped storing them for me. I never used them in snow and only had them on the car for a few months in rain! Any suggestions where I can sell them? Ebay was unsuccessful. They are...

    I'm giving up on the e90 318i I've been trying to enjoy. As much as I love the looks and comfort, its been the worst car for breaking down that I've ever owned. So many oil leaks and general component failures I've hardly had time to enjoy it. What's worrying is the amount of similar cars for...

    Hi everyone, so I removed the rust that begins to form in the top corners above the license plate and I resprayed the areas with a rattle can and a 1K clear coat also from a rattle can. The finished job can hardly be told apart from the factory paint job. I did my best to blend the clear coats...

    What a fantastic difference! Despite plenty of wear left on the run flats I've had to treat myself to new tyres - Pirelli PZ's - and what an immediate difference! Better ride, better grip, better feel, not scared of tiny potholes - loving it! Happy Christmas to me and the 645ci!

    So having owned my E46 330CI for a few months, and now realising that i havent infact lost the ability to drive, but that BMW put something in the way to impair driving (aka the clutch delay valve), i now want to get rid of it. My dilema is though that the car is still covered by BMW's...

    Should we get rid of our diesels? Well, according this article they're not that good for general health. There again, lots of diesel cars continue to be sold.

    Hi all, Not been on for a while, just wanted to give my opinion on getting rid of runflats. Needed 2 new rear tyres so decided to go with non runflats all round. Put Continentals all round, and the drive of the car is completely different! :) I wish i had done it sooner, so bought a small...

    While hanging around in the Cobbler's I had a look at the polishes there and wondered if I could use a normal shoe polish to get rid of the dark veins in my 840ci's front seats: I asked the cobbler if they would work, he reckoned they might, but he had other stuff that might work a lot...
