Hi guys,

I'm TSINI, a stranger to these parts, but not a stranger to forums and the general interwebz

I'm 25 and I've managed to get the bank to (foolishly) lend me enough money to secure myself a second hand BMW. Its my second car, and a massive leap forward in automotive awesomesauce

after an empoverished student lifestyle, my new job gave me the opportunity to replace my decrepit Rover 214, and replace it with a real car...

Somehow I've gotten my hands on a Black 2002 E46 3 series compact with 80k on the clock for a fair chunk under the asking price, and I'm now looking at ways of personalising it.

I have some vague ideas, I'm pretty much just going to try them out, and show pics online, and gauge the general opinions of BMW enthusiasts who can tell me to burn in hell, or keep with it.

nothing heavy, just some small reversible additions to theme the car to my personality, but leave it sellable for the future (when I'm looking to upgrade of course :D )

Hope to be a fun addition to this community!

Cheers

TSINI

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
