welcome to BMW owners club mate :)

perhaps the bonnet catch is vibrating against metal, or the bonnet hinges are loose.

Lubraicate all of these areas with white grease to eliminate

If it is a high pitched continous chirp then could be fan belt worn

Tracks may need lubricating or the motor is worn

Welcome to the club

did it ever work?

if not, then have it checked by BMW as it may be switched off. I had this on my lexus and i found that if i had the keys in my pocket and the button was pressed all my windows opened, i got fed up waking up in the morning and seeing all the windows of my car wide open.

Also happened in a public car park.. i i had then turn this feature off.

If it has worked before then it may be the batteries in your fob, or a faulty fob.

doesnt sound like good news andy!

By the way, while we were on the subject of bmw pick up, i spotted one last night, first time ever.. tried to take a pic but missed.

how did you find the run flats?

I had a new 5 series with run flats and were really noisey

always recommend projects and I would be happy to create a projects section to the website.

that even better mate :)

we need a e46 pickup project to follow :)

welcome to BMW owners Club fella!

thats a shame mate

turn your e46 in to a pickup!

I would think a custom for sure would be cheapest option then fitting the m3 exhasut tips, or something that looks very similar.

may get round having to buy the bumper

Does the car actually turn over or is it dead on the turn of the key?

If it does nothing when turning the key then it could be the solenoid that detects if the car is in park or not (i forget the exact name)I had this on another automatic car i had a few years ago.

welcome to the BMW owners Club mate :)

cool bird!

what about beulieu?

plane drifting, Tokyo Styleee

any ideas where mate?

gaydon motor heritage museum is good place.. loads of space and inside the museum if it rains

i have been in something similar in China, i remember seeing the runway in my window and thinking that I shouldnt be seeing that!

haha LOL

wow.. you transformed the condition of that mini mate.

I quite liked the stripes.

I do loved the black and cream colours in the mini.. suits it very well!
