Awesome! Thanks so much for clarifying this for me. Is there anything I need to look out for when buying a new fan clutch?

Hi guys So I recently picked up another E46 320I and I am having a problem. It seems the clutch fan is always engaged. When the car is off and cold I can't manually spin it, where on my other E46 it can spin freely. When I start the car up, it sounds like a bus, with the fan spinning really fast and pushing out a lot of air which I can feel when I put my hand over it. Where with my other E46 it start spinning slowly like it should when I first start the car up. When I let the car warm up it still seems to be spinning very fast and does not slow down from when I initially started the car and, when I give it some gas it sounds like a bus taking off. Now my question is, is the fan clutch buggered and should I replace it, or would it be something like the temperature gauge that is reading wrong causing it to stay engaged? Thanks P.S If you need anymore information or a video, please let me know

Looking for a E46 2001 bonnet. Preferably red. Anyone selling or anyone know any places where I could pick one up?

Looking for a E46 2001 front right headlight or headlight cover (plastic lense) And cheap places to look or anyone selling?

Thanks for the offer @Michael. but I have fixed the issue. --- So I have fixed it. This is what I did: 1. Turn off the car. 2. Remove fuse 10, 34, 43 3. Start car again. 4. Turn it off again. 5. Put in all the fuses, turn on again and it worked. So what I think happened was that the battery got to low causing the gauge cluster to glitch up. When I charged the battery back up it initially didn't make a difference as the gauge cluster was still glitched. Removing those fuses and putting them back in basically restarted the gauge cluster and got it working again. And yes the battery is f**ed it was losing 0.01v every couple of seconds so I have now replaced it with another battery. Thanks guys for helping out!

Just checked the voltage and it's at 11.74v so basically dead flat. I'm charging it up now so hopefully that was the problem. I will let you guys know in about 6 hours

I check that a month or two ago and it was clear so I doubt it has anything to do with that

They are tight

yeah my thought too, but I'm not sure where. Edit: Didnt see that last part. Yes it has a sunroof

So first off here is the video so you know what I am taling about: So basically I went to get in my car just before and it started fine but gauge cluster would not work along with that screen spazzing out. I tried to get it into reverse but it wouldn't go in as if it hadn't detected that the key was in. I tried restarting the car another 3 times and I could finally get it into reverse. Things I noticed wouldn't work are:Indicators (they work but don't show on gauge cluster) gauge cluster middle screen spazzing out can't get car out of park sometimes. Says traction control is off even though it's on This is the first time it has happened and it has been raining today (car lives outside) so I am guessing thats the reason why. Something has just got wet. So at the moment I am going to leave it till the morning to see if it fixes itself. Any ideas what has gone wrong or what is shorting out so I can fix this and prevent it from happening again? Car: E46 320i 2001 Thanks!

At the moment I haven't had any side effects(had going for about 4 months) , but the others might say otherwise

Do you know how much they normally are and where I could get one from?

Hey everyone So every so often my yellow/orange oil light comes on, then when I turn my car off its still on. Once I turn it back on again it goes away and and doesn't come back for a while. I checked the oil and it seems to be full. Does this mean I have an intermittent sensor?

Thanks for this information, it now makes much more sense.

You can, but I made mine, the ones you buy are about 3x the price of mine though

So a 5 inch tablet instead of a 7 inch like mine Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Loc? And it would have to be an android phone instead of an iPhone or ipod as you can t use anything like tasker on that, but yeah an android phone would work for you, it just might be a bit to small. You can always install apps that change the DPI to make everything bigger so buttons are easier to hit and text is easier to read Edit: Oh just worked out you meant location...

I had to relocate my Ac controls, but you could always get a bracket or Window mount and mount it on top of everything, it won't look the best, but it still means that it's fully modular if you want to take it in and out you canSent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

For me I did a bit of trial and error, so I cost me much more than it would cost you in total with all setups, but to do setup #3 (all prices are in NZD) Nexus 7 (second hand) = $90-100~ Bezel = $30 (from ebay) Secondary head deck = $70-150 (depending on what features you want, or if you already have one it's free) USB car charger = $3 And I think that's everything So compared to existing units it is much cheaper. With my parts, it was about $200~ (prices may of changed since then) Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

Hey, so I thought I should share a video I made awhile back with you guys here. If you have any questions just ask (Installed in a 2001 e46)

Thanks for letting me know guys, so in my case I am looking for the sedan version (hence the "i")

Hi, not sure where to look so I will post here. Is anyone selling an E46 M-Sport Front Bumper? P.S Preferably silver (Silver 2001 320i E46)
