Okay,
I've taken a bit of a plunge and bought a 2001 330d Touring, she's got 167k and is in pretty poor condition, which was reflected in the price (dirt cheap)
Now, the main issue is a DDE fault - the car starts with a bit of cranking and idles smooth on all 6 cylinders. Give it a good hard...
So, currently looking for a 320D and the 184hp version seems to offer best combination of acceleration and MPG.
My question is as we don't show HP on log book what is the KW (which is what I think all log books use instead of HP) that I should be looking for?
Also, does anyone know what years...

Have a 330d changed the crank sensor as never worked right. Car was then up and running and going great, went to use it yesterday and no boost and only revs to 4K then starts to splutter, changed maf, map sensor and vacuum hoses, is it possible that it could be the crank sensor failing? Not...

Hi guys,
Very much a lurker on the forum but could do with some help.
Basic symptoms - felt a bit of a jolt when driving up hill (pulling trailer too so quite a lot of load). Noticed a sudden loss of power and a metallic type rattle when under load after that - engine just feels like a...

In september my turbo blew on my 330xda. It was trashed! So i had it towed to a BMW repair shop. They've had it ever since. (5 months) !!!!!! så they had the turbo replaced! but afterward the the engien did not run correctly. i have not...
Hi I have a 330d that spikes to 23psi before settling to 15-17.
The performance at 23 is far greater so the fuel is obviously mapped higher than the boost is set standard.
Since I will be running a built turbo, I wasn't advice on a tuner who can modify my ecu fie to increase the boost to 3 bar...
Hi, this is my first post on this great forum. I predominantly build custom performance turbos for Toyota diesel engines in Australia. So as a bit of a break and some fun I managed to get hold of an e46 330d manual. They never came here (Australia) so was quite a find and is in good condition...

hi guys,
as some may be aware i am looking to gain some extra power after x-mas but i want to make sure that all the drivetrain can handle the extra torque and power. so i was wondering if i could use a gear box from something like a 335d for example. i have no idea what gearbox if any can be...

330d SE 184HP 2002. Cruise control stopped working a while ago. Main BMW agent says the problem seems to be with communication between gearbox ECU and engine ECU. They said that they could try replacing one ECU and if that didn't work then they could try replace the other one as well. This...
