Hi there, my name is Kris, otherwise known as The Road Runner B)

I absolutely love (mad crazy love) BMWs and have done since a kid riding in my sister's boyfriend's e34 white Alpina M3 in the late 80's-early 90's.

I purchased my first bmw 4 yrs ago, yes this was a long time coming, but I found a real gem, 1996 e36 328i sport coupe in black with the full black leather interior and the original bbs LM split rims. Boy, I loved that car. But my wife produced our first kid and an estate was needed to fit the baby and all his equipment and the dog too. So I found my 328i a loving new owner and purchased a 2003 e46 330d sport tourer. I knew this car was well regarded and had done my homework making sure it was the 204 bhp version with the facelift. this car is like konan the destroyer. unstoppable, unbreakable, uber powerful and handsome. love it. I am having the ecu remapped and fitting pipercross panel filter to give me 250 bhp, next week. my wife doesn't know yet but the family car will be a "wolf in sheeps clothing". I cannot wait.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that post threads and build these forums, as you have shared some invaluable knowledge and insights.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and posting threads.

cheers. Kris. the road runner - "mit mit"

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave
