Hi all

Im looking at purchasing my first BMW which is a BMW E46 Face lift 330 CI M Sport Convertible in the next couple of months (Just before the nice weather)

Also need I to find one that i like

It needs to be manual and black and black interior.

I have a couple of questions

What exactly does the MSport package give you ? (as if its not much i would look at just a CI)

Also is high miles a problem for BMW engines (above the 100K mark)

What are the main things to go wrong and what should i look for ?

Many thanks in advance

M Sport has lowered and uprated suspension, usually comes with bigger alloys, side skirts, M Sport front bumper and Apron and firmer more supportive seats. Handling is far better on the M Sport but the ride is much harsher.

      Parking Break Failure

      Afternoon Darren Just your BMW telling you that you needed a Dealers help 😅 Or hoping to scare you into their arms Try a Parking Brake reset, as you only changed pads a Soft Reset should work Turn on the ignition. Hold down the parking sensor button for 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep. Release the button, and the system will reset Hope that does it for you Dave

      650i crank no start

      Morning Hans Having a Parts car close by is a major win (providing it hasn't got the same issue 😁) The rev counter gets a signal from the DDE which gets signals from the CPS FPS and Cam sensors the sensor only needs to be loose or a degree out, Test it and or change it (but test the replacement first) As you're so far away I would either get the car transported (my preference), or go ready for anything. That means at least 1 fully charged battery/booster pack. Start with a full scan (INPA/ISTA will show all faults for each system) check all sensors MAF, MAP, TBPS, FPS, CPS. Cam sensors test continuity on the loom for coil packs and injectors. Check/change the fuel pump relay. From your description you say no fuel or spark, all the above will have an effect there. If all those are OK then you are back to the Hope this helps Dave As an after thought make sure the fuel filter isn't clogged. Plus check out the EWS fault you half saw

      650i crank no start

      Thanks for the reply Dave. This car is over 5 hours away from me so thr next trip I make needs to be the one I take it home haha. The obf2 I'm using is an mhd tuner off of my 135i with protool. I got it to connect once but stupidly disconnected it. The only code it was throwing was a immobilizer I don't remember which one. Also the conditions of the car breaking down were while driving happened 3 times than didn't start again, at least that's what I was told. So my assumption was a bmw system that controlled efi and spark ignition. As far as the cps if I was reading rpm while cranking would that not rule it out. It also did not throw a code for it when I had it connected. But I couldn't read actual position data since i couldn't connect. The owner replaced the fuel pump in an attempt to get it running so I know the pressure us there but there is absolutely no fuel coming out the cylinders or onto spark plugs. I luckily found a complete part out car 10 miles away from it. So a list of potential problems I could try would be much appreciated. Thanks Hans

      650i crank no start

      Afternoon Hans Welcome to the Forum I would start with a Diagnostic Scan but then I do have ISTA/INPA on my lap top. Without it I would start by testing the sensors that will effect fuel and spark. Number one Crank position sensor if it is faulty no signal to the DME no signal to the injectors. While testing sensors Fuel Pressure sensor next, while the fuel rail is pressurised is it correct if the pressure sensor is dead the DME will assume no fuel present. Also carefully check the loom to injectors and coil packs not unknown for it to be damaged. Try a Google search for test parameters for the sensors. Also check engine earth straps Hope this helps Dave
