  3. BMW Guides and How To's
    Hey all, Looking for some good advice as I am really struggling with my E46 (N42B20 engine). I had a chain tensioner that broke on me recently, changed it, timed it all up, all runs super neat - until the engine gets warm. As soon as temp comes up into the working interval it stutters (and dies)...

    Hi, I've got an issue with my E36 328i, as it gets to operating temp stays there for a while then it stalls out and then doesn't want to start up again, it'll only start after it cools off.

    Has someone been through this - I feel like I am in a very annoying massage chair that's got a bad motor. When idling, I can feel a vibration in the steering, driver seat, floor, and peddle, umm and the gear knob. When I rev the car between 80 and 120km it feels bouncy as if the wheels are not...

    I replaced the starter the other day and now the car starts fine, idle is ok for a few seconds and then it starts going up and down as if it's about to die. When it starts this mood swings, a yellow warning indicator in the middle flashes. The EML light is constantly on, but only the text one...
