Exhaust gasses in an X3
Morning Kevin Welcome to the Forum No an Exhaust smell in the cabin is just not right You say the EGR cooler was replaced at a BMW Dealer do you know if this was a Recall or Warranty work ? I have read of issues where the EGR to exhaust gasket was missed it isn't difficult to check yourself if you are that way inclined (Picture Attached) if not phone a friend 😅 the gasket (compression type) should go between the shiny bit on the right and the rusty bit on the left. I hope this helps Dave PS The picture shows one with the gasket missing -

Exhaust gasses in an X3
Good morning Bimmers. I have just (a week) bought an 2015 X3 diesel auto that has done 82,000 miles, and I have noticed a smell of exhaust fumes in the cab, particularly on starting from cold, but also throughout the ride. During relatively short journeys, I can taste the fumes on my lips and yesterday, as I drove 20-30 miles, I started to feel my eyes becoming 'sore and prickly'. It's not major, but is definitely there. Looking at the excellent service history, a 'Exhaust gas recirculation cooler' was replace a month ago by a local BMW dealership. I am not 'Technical' but this is worrying me. Do you guys (gals) have any thoughts please, apart from warning a gas mask? The dealer appears sympathetic, and has asked me to 'drop in' so that he can assess the situation, (but cannot fit in any work for 3 weeks!) but I want to be aware of any points you think I should know? Forewarned is forearmed! -

I was replacing the alternator bolt on my 2000 323ci and overtightened it resulting in a partially broken base for the alt and power steering...... Where on earth can I get a replacement for this? Thanks, Bob -

E64 Main Beam not working - its not the bulbs or fuses
Hi Rob, yes I did get it sorted and it was the Bi xenon set up that Greydog alluded to in the earlier post. It was just my understanding of how the beam worked which was causing me the confusion. Apologies as should have responded quicker. -

BMW E46 330D 2005 intermittent starting fault code 4302
Hi Dave, Thanks for all of that, very very helpful. I will be on it asap. Particularly the earths. Will check throttle body but I would have hoped it would have thrown a code or two at me if not functioning? When it does start, seems to run fine. Had another look this morning at the live data. Only 2 bar with ignition on. This did use to be 4 bar but I have just replaced all of the pumps and filters?? Cranking gives me about 20 bar?? Will come back once done. Thanks again Jon
