BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
Today had some problems with my car, basically at one point after pushing the gas the car started "shaking" and afterwards started sounding weird. Guessing it's injectors.
Soon after checked it with INPA, no fault codes and only thing in the reds was the selective mass adjustment for cylinder 4...
Hi guys,
I recently got some "racing" pedals (I didn't name them) and they are great but the stock positioning of the pedals is terrible because they all sit at different points. The clutch is the most....out....towards you, then the brake then the throttle is about 20-30mm further back than...

Evening all. Is it possible to adjust how the top sits in above the a pillars? The drivers side seems to be fine but the passenger side is about 10mm out and leaks slightly.
Iv searched all over and can’t find an answer.
Here’s a couple of pics of the driver and passenger side.
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me. I have recently bought a 2006 E50 525i after owning a strings of E39's. I am going to France in a couple of weeks and was looking to see how to adjust the headlights. Website and forums refer to a metal tab/switch under a circular cover on the headlight...
So 318D runs so rough I thought engine was knackered but seems to be fuel system fault.. HP pump has been replaced. Also cuts out when accelerating, fuel pressure desired raises but actual barely moves. Fuel pressure is about 2/3 it should be on idle.
So got inpa working and the SMA results...
Hi
Is there anyway that I can easily adjust my LED headlights so that I can drive in Europe without putting stickers on the lenses?
Thanks and all the best
Took my 520d 2011 plate F11 for some new tyres and a 4-wheel hunter alignment check yesterday. They guy doing the adjustment said that I must have given the wheel a bump as the upper control arm was not the right alignment and needs replacing. He said some of the earlier models had adjustment on...

So there's funny going on with my mirror adjustment. i have the following issues:
1. the near side mirror no longer dips when reverse is selected (selector switch set to nearside) and will not move when i move the controller.
2. when the selector switch is set to off side (drivers) i can move...
Noticed the other day that the colun wasn't adjusting when I got in / out of the car. The seat electrics are all working fine but there's no response to switch movement.
There was no noise / indication that there was a problem brewing before it stopped. I hadn't realised it had stopped...
I've only had the car for a few weeks but I knew that the front tyres required replacement (the previous owner priced it accordingly)
My front tyres were quite badly/unevenly worn on the outside edge (16" runflats) so I took the car to ATS who have said the alignment is out but the 'camber'...
Hi guys
Just noticed my headlights are far too low now I took front passenger wheel off to have a look on the sensor
And discovered it completely came off the arm.Now the arm has ball joints on both ends and one of the balls is still in the sensor while the whole arm and the other end is...
I want to slightly adjust the horizontal aim of my 2015 F15 X5 Xenon off-side headlight. I can see how to adjust the vertical aim, but cannot see a similar adjustment screw for the horizontal aim.
Does anyone know the answer?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using Inpa for the first time trying to diagnose if I have any faults with with my injectors.
Which live data tests are best to run to see if there are any flags pointing towards any injectors issues.
I've see videos of people using the selective mass adjustment test but I don't know how to...
I am about to pull the trigger on a F11 530d from 2011. The current owner has installed a new alcantara steering wheel in the car, but the electronic adjustment does not work. He says it has just lost connection and needs to recoded by a BMW shop. Has anyone heard of this issue before, or can...
Yesterday my steering wheel stopped moving back and forth, and unfortunately it's stuck in the fully retracted position meaning it's a bit of a stretch to reach when driving (i have my seat a long way back). It still moves up and down though. I was hoping it was going to cure itself overnight...
Hi all,
I have been quoted around £1200 from Harry Fairbairn to replace the inlet and exhaust vanos adjustment unit. I'm wondering if this seems like a good deal (I have no clue about cars). My timing chain has been replaced in Jan 16 and now again this week (bearing in mind the car has only...

I decided it was time to tackle the vertical seat height adjustment issue that my drivers seat had been experiencing for the last month or so. It is lifting on the right side but not on the left side resulting in the seat twisting.
After reading various posts this seems to be quite a common...
