Hi All,

Newbie member here so please be gentle. I have joined the forum as i have just decided to swap my very tidy 2010 E91 330d MSport with 150k on the clock for a mint 2000 E46 325Ci Convertible with only 25k on the clock.... I figure i may need some expertise sometime soon. I'm sure i'll be getting to know some of you well over the next few months 🤣

    Welcome to the Forum

    What a great find and you haven't compromised your love of convertibles 😁

    Get a copy of BMW 1.4.0 (about £20) and mount it on a laptop it will give you Dealer Level diagnostic's for the E46 plus if you aren't aware www.realoem.com is a BMW online parts list. Put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search the sections for what you need, there are small exploded drawings that will help with where stuff fits and the correct part number ensures you get replacements that fit correctly.

    Enjoy your new9to you) Beemer
