Hey guys, thinking of getting a e90 320i as a daily run about, looks like it will be a bit better on petrol consumption than my 330ci lol Is there anything I should be looking out for on these cars? any known problems etc Thanks heaps ..

Bump - $7000 Or near offer.

Bump. Will take $7500, or less if you bring your own wheels. Can upload interior photos if ask for, been out of country

Auto - Thanks Updated!

I am possibly moving to wellington shortly, not looking like enough garage space down there, and close enough to walk to work. This car has been a dream, and well looked after. *More photos of exterior + Photos of interior to come Brother is a mechanic and has regularly serviced it. It's being listed on Trademe in the next few weeks for around $10,000 But I would take $8500 firm through Bimmersport (Including wheels) 2002 330ci e46 - (Coupe) I am pretty certain it is a M-Sport package - has the M-Sport Steering Wheel and Door Sills - 210,000 km - Auto - Most of the car has been freshly resprayed - M-Tech 2 Bumper - Angel Eyes - 18" CSL Style Wheels (I believe they are after market) 4mm+ Tread on Tyres - Valve cover gasket just done - Rear weather strips have been replaced - 35% tints all round I think (What ever the legal ones were) - 2 Remote keys Good overall interior condition, roof lining is good. - Takata airbags have been replaced in the recall - Still have the Boot Lip / Spoiler - but didnt glue it back on once the respray was finished - (I preferred it off) - I have a spare Sump gasket and oil filter Will come with new WOF + 12 months rego. A Few things that could do with some TLC - The Fabric on the C-pillar is starting to lift - could do with some spray-glue - Top of the steering wheel is developing a bit of a crack in the leather - Small tear in the driver side leather seat that can easily be stitched back together PM me or send an email to [email protected] Jonathan

Please get a bigger wing also - There needs to be exactly 5mm clearance between the edge and the mcdonalds drive through barrier

That Wing! Those Stripes! You win

Selling the spare set of SSA rims I had on my e46 Tires have alot left on them, no shoulder wear. maybe 5mm tread. 5 X 120 / 80 tires 225/40 There are a few scuff marks on one of them, and a little bit of paint fade. their listed on trademe for $650 but I would take $500 from bimmersport members. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1550300785

http://yahoo.aleado.com/2084231117-catlist.html Go searching on there ... You can find genuine sets in Japan easy as with tires round $1000 ish (cheaper if your not too concerned with a few scuffs) And then probably about $400 ish in shipping / fees to get them here - Contact my mate Ewan from at [email protected] - they can bid on them / organise the shipping. Theres a set http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=w217078095

So I finally finished restoring my E46 330ci to its former glory with a respray to most of the car, body work, cut polish. Ended up getting some rims for it too, really adding to the final touch. These things age really well with time! ----- When i begun - it needed some serious love Finished with the respray - but the old wheels - just didnt give it the BMW look And here it is now

Bit of a random question, but i thought i would throw it up! Some wheels have arrived and I don't really want to get them freighted, my friend was going to pick them up but now his schedule has been thrown out. Is anyone heading from Auckland through Tauranga ways in the next week or so that might have some room for 4 x 18's with Tyres that could bring them down? Could meet on the main highway on the way down too I could help pay for gas money also? Jonathan

apparently the PCB can look fine - but there are some connections that can have subtle build up on it which cause the issue I think this guy was talking about it

https://www.bmwgm5.com/FZV_Antenna_Amp.htm not sure if e92 have a similar setup to e46 (mine was in the rear left c pillar)

FZV Amplifier - Saw a write up about this ages ago reminding me of your issues. It also receives all of the FM/AM radio frequency for the car So it could well be related to that Atleast you have 2 keys now !

yeah - genuine from US is only like $50 + postage i was watching the installation of it - upsidedown with my head in the pedal box sounds like a bit of me, Has any one had a fan blower motor go - just trying to figure out how i would discern between either one

e46 BMW 2002 This problem started after i left the car not running for a while - and the sun was scorching the vehicle few months (not sure if its linked to the problem) I remember leaving the car sitting for ages a-long time ago and the same thing happened - not fan settings worked for ages - and then one day it mysteriously started working again (all setting ) But now after leaving the car sitting again - no air comes out, Doesn't matter what setting the fan speed is set to nothing (or maybe a tiny amount) comes out, i.e. if i turn on the A/C I can definitely notice the difference between ambient air and cold air coming through the vents. I hear the final stage resistor on these things are pretty common culprits, but before i go into getting the part as their pretty cheap, but good to be sure, I was hoping anyone had any insight to some steps to diagnose it / confirm. Thanks heaps

2000 - 2500 grit probably I personally buffed my headlights - with a cutting compound (but you'll need to find a orbital buffer)

Saw that online some where - holding a button and pressing the other. But the guy that did my key ages back , said he had to swap the board - maybe he didnt know

And remember to check your Frequency so the remote talks to the keyless entry receiver!

If its the same guy that was selling the red one, Atleast $100,000

Sweet - will do, thought i would get my parts in from the states before the kiwi dollar tanks some more! Whats the est cost on shipping?

Gabe - whens your next FCP round? Anyone getting some parts from overseas shortly? I wouldnt mind replacing the fuel filter - it's been a while id say (like say atleast 100k+) Misfire does sound lean related on start up - heard it again today (does a few misfire pops)

nice! i'm from tauranga too ! you related to Mark Holloway? Max Holloway?

hmmm might be worth to add on the list - maybe it is something that simple coil / ignition or fuel
