Hi folks

Just wanted to say hello. Hello!! Bought my first BMW, which is an E46 318 CI M Sport and loving it. Only issues I've had with it are:

1. Drivers door wouldn't open using the fob. Resolved with a new solenoid.

2. Both M Sport rear springs broke which gave me the excuse to fit Eibach Sportlines!! A lot cheaper than BMW springs and I feel they ride better.

    Hello James

    Welcome to the Forum

    Many car manufacturers and their Dealers are very protective of their brands stating strongly that "only OEM parts should be used" and I understand their position, however they seem to forget that their own OEM suppliers also sell to the wider market. They also don't like to recognise that all the components that make up our cars are made to a price, or"shock horror" that someone could improve a part!!

    Glad you have fixed your small issues and can enjoy your BMW, checkout www.realoem.com it is a BMW parts list, you can search by model/year or just put the last 7 digits of your vin in the search box and it will bring up your model it has small drawings and part numbers. You can also use www.newtis.info another BMW specific site same Technical information used by BMW Dealers. 

    Good Luck with the Beemer and enjoy

    Dave
