Is This Information On The 318Se Accurate?

According to wikipedia "The SE trim level included the options the ES trim level was given, but added cruise control as part of the multi-function steering wheel, headlight washers, parking sensors, leather steering wheel and gearknob.[21]"

I'm picking up me 318i SE on Monday and I don't think it had parking sensors or cruise control... Or was I just in such a hurry to leave a deposit I didn't notice?

are we taliing the e46 mate?

It is an e46 sorry, 2000 Vreg, but definitely an SE, that's what comes up when I enter the numberplate into insurance. I have a picture of the back and you can't see the little circles that indicates there's sensors there... Unless BMW hide them for aesthetics.

Also wikipedia says multifunction steering wheel comes as standard on all SE's but looking on autotrader there are a few the say they're SE with the bog standard steering wheel. I pretty sure my V reg SE doesn't have these lovely toys (I pick it up tonight so I'll soon find out)

They are available as extras, and I think a few years later the SE models come with them as standard. But yeh, I'm not hopeful mine will either, I'll know tomorrow night :D

This is only my second car anyway, will keep this 318i for 18 or so months then look to move to an E90 or something nicer :-) My dad and I have always been BMW men.

      Mini One 2004 Buying Advice

      Well I ended up buying it. Bodywork needs a good pollish, and I got the front discs and pads changed at the weekend. Got the rears to do overchristmas but at least it stops now and is driveable. Fortunately it is the first cheap car I have bought where every single nut and bolt came off without much effort. Callipers slid off, pistons were nice and free, and I didn't have to take the big hammer to the discs to release them from the rust. I love people who believe in a little copperslip!!! Done a few wee trips in it and the other half has used it on a couple of longer motorway trips so far. Couple of knocks and bangs to be investigated, one of them I am sure is the exhaust. I don't like the look of the way those springs are set up on the front suspension though!!! Looks like if one of them goes then your tyre is getting mangled too!!! Thrust bearing on clutch sounds a little noisy and there appears to be some noise similar to the tappits on a mk3 escort. I'll have a good poke about on google and see what I can dig out, plus get myself the Haynes manual. No noise from timing chain which is good. All in all it's a tidy wee car for not a lot of money

      E87 Whine on acceleration

      Great advice gents, got a similar type of noise, literally started today, definite cyclic in nature so linked to the belt and pulleys and will try the WD40 first to see if I can isolate the cause of it before moving on.

      Headlight condensation

      I can confirm, no more appearance of any condensation in headlights so this is a worthy fix.

      water pump whistle

      Just started up this morning to be greeted with a real whistle which I think is coming from the water pump. Definite link to the belt as the frequency is clearly aligned with the belt and pulley speed. Is this a sign of water pump on way out or something else. I am guessing water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at to find the culprit. Literally, no sound two days ago and got this rotary whistle this morning. How long have I got?
