MilesP 13 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Hey all. Just got my E46 and I wanted to confirm something. Car runs mint. But when its cold the engine holds the gears until 3k and then changes. Is this normal? I have been told it is and that it is supposed to do this in order to quickly warm the engine. 2000 E46 318i. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
