Update; So far it has taken way longer than planned. I encountered a few problems, and have had limited time to spend on it because of family commitments. Also, I have been doing a very thorough job of cleaning every single part as I go - even if its not seen. I have degreased, water-blasted and cleaned the underside of the car. I've also done some maintenance while the car has been up on ramps; Replaced engine sump gasket. Replaced engine oil and filter with castrol edge. Replaced fuel filter and fuel hoses. So today I started it up sans the exhaust. Everything pretty much went as planned. No oil leaks from the transmission, and no oil leaks from the engine. A small water leak which I will hunt down tomorrow. Still to do is connect the gearshift cable to the transmission (I'm having difficulty with this as its not gripping the cable), reconnect the underbody heat-shield, and reconnect the exhaust. Then go for a test drive.

Glad I could help you 'herbie'

The guy is selling them individually; Auction is for ONE Alloy, but I have 4 in gunmetal grey colour and 4 silver ones.

Dimensions?

Yup, I disagree

Using compressed music as your source is the first mistake. Use lossless like flac or similar, otherwise the time and money spent on the rest of your system is wasted. Garbage in = garbage out.

Where are you located? I have a passenger side airbag from an e46 wagon.

Holy crap that looks bad. Lucky you spotted it.

Will a guard from a pre-facelift 316ti fit?

Nice driving in the handicap race, especially overtaking two cars on the final turn. I think brent is right though - you need a quicker rack.

Hey brent, if you don't find a red one, I have a silver one available.

Did you take it to Motor Service in Panmure? The old owners were great, but the new owners were complete #!*?!holes to me when I had some work done there.

All show and no go

Hey Joel, replace the sensor rubber o-ring gasket at the same time - its only about $10

Taylor automotive are highly regarded here in Auckland.

What is the bmw part number for your coil pack?

So yesterday I reassembled the transmission after I cleaned the parts in trans oil. The valve body was a challenge to reassemble but I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I took lots of photos to help put things back correctly and this thread was helpful; http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1000845 New gasket and filter went in, and today I will attempt to refit it along with the entire cooling system, driveshaft assembly, fluids etc. Big day. And yes, I do drive like a nana.

Yes, I will be a pro at swapping boxes by the time I'm finished. And now that I've done the sump gasket, I'm much more confident about doing it on the wifes car which has the same leaking sump problem. Thanks for the advice - I will reuse the guibo.

I think the sedan and wagon are the same, but happy to be corrected.

Hey Qube you can borrow one of mine to test.

Just how nose heavy would the front of that car be.......

Got any autos to fit a 2004 n46?
