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.

Folks
First post and looking for some help and advice from your knowledgeable BMW people!! Just gone and bought a 2003 318Ci M Sport for the wife and it's due an Inspection 2 service in the next 1500 miles. From what I can find, the Inspection 2 service is:
Is this everything included in an Inspection 2 service? It also requires a brake fluid plus coolant change.
Now, I'm a tight Scotsman who likes to buy his own parts and I tend to buy from Carparts4less or Eurocarparts, as I'm not going to pay BMW prices!! So, my many questions are:
The car has a documented FBMWSH and only has 43K miles on the clock. The plan is to keep the cat for the long term, so as this is the first service with me, I want my garage to carry out a full and comprehensive service on it.
Should I be replacing anything else while it's in the garage?
Any thoughts, advice and comments would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
