    My door lock cylinder is spinning freely and my key fob batteries are dead. The car is locked. It’s a 2002 325i. If I get a working key fob will it work to remotely unlock my doors if the lock cylinder is broken? Or do I need a locksmith to open it before I can replace the lock cylinder?

    This went from bad to worse: After sitting for about a month, I replaced the control arm and ball joints on the passenger side. The car started right up and drove straight. I noticed the IP was not lit up and the gages were all at 0. I stopped for gas. Then the car would crank but not start...

    Hi all, I know there are a lot of threads about the "Fault Code 048: TCC Excessive Slip", and I've done a lot of research on this. But hear me out... I have a 2003 BMW E39 530iA with the 5hp19 auto gearbox, bought at 88k miles. Straight after buying the car, probably around 91k miles I did a...
  4. Parting Out
    I've got a whole slew of spare parts from swapping my M54B25 to a B30. The B25 parts are from a pre 9/02 M54 out of a 2002 525it wagon, and the B30 parts are from a 2004 M54 out of a 2004 330ci. I'll list prices but feel free to send me an offer. I can give you a shipping estimate on parts if...

    Ok so I’ve had my e46 for probably 6ish years now. The entire time I’ve owned it the one major problem has always been coolant leaks. Since I’ve gotten the car it’s gotten an engine swap after blowing the head gasket on the original engine from coolant leaks and overheating. I have swapped every...

    330 XI, replacing the passenger side cv axel and was going to replace both front wheel bearings while I was at it. I’ve seen a lot of YouTube tutorials on how to do it but most of them are not for the xi’s and every xi tutorial I’ve found is 10+ years old and terrible quality. I’ve seen comments...

    On my old 2002 e46 the OBC display is not showing any data. I know the BC is working since I can toggle the button and eventually change the clock time that I can see on the central console (seems like the BC is cycling through the modes). I recently had a leak through my windshield cowl seal...

    Hi all, I just bought a 2003 325ci, and there is an annoying clunk coming from the rear driver side of the car. It sounds like something is very loose, as it's more pronounced over bumps, but still happens lightly when the car is still, like when listening to music with loud bass. It almost...

    Hi everyone, I have a 2000 323i with the M52TUB25 and I've been chasing the same issue for months. I keep getting the p1510 code which turns the EML, SES, and DSC lights as well as causing a very rough idle/misfire and most times when I give it gas, it dies. I've already done some research...

    Hello. I went to BMW and asked for some coolant. They did not ask me what vehicle it was for, but they asked if I needed blue or green. I asked for blue since I read that blue is for e46. Any feedback welcomed! Thanks a lot. I have a e46 2002 bmw 330xi.

    If i get an aftermarket steering wheel is there anyway to keep the cruise control module separate from the wheel or continue using it with my new wheel? Thanks

    I replaced my headlight lenes with a OEM set from Magneti Marelli. It looks a whole lot better. I'm happy with the results.

    Hello I'm seeking expert guidance on the decision of a e46 330xi. My dad has a 2004 325i and we love it. Now the 330xi in question has 139,000 miles and looks to be in great condition. The owner services it at a bmw independent shop in Orange county called OC motorworks. He has done liquid moly...

    Okay I just got this e46 about 4 months ago. It’s got 107k miles now and was garaged its whole life so it is in extremely good shape. When I have the AC or heat blowing the rpm’s fluctuate from 500-750 while in neutral. This problem has been happening since I got the car. The mpg gauge also goes...

    I've searched through every forum I can find to find a solution to my car's problem. Several weeks ago, the Instrument panel went dead and thanks to this forum I was able to send it out to Scott Johnson in California who fixed the cluster perfectly. Prior to sending it off (car drove without...

    Hi all, I'm assembling bits and pieces to swap an e46 330d M57 204bhp diesel into my 2005 320cd with 6 speed manual. I've met a guy here on a car meet who apparently did the swap, send me a ton of info on whatsapp about the process, and confirmed that the bolt pattern on 320cd GS6-37DZ 6...
