E30 325i Rag-Top 2918 Report post Posted October 26, 2011 Which E46, there's quite a few different types and the service schedule would vary wildly between them..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F20-91 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Not for all BMWs, list was for E46. Most items and intervals listed are recommendations from the manual/dealership. Sticking to this is wise for most E46 owners, defo the exp tank and pump at 100k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
