hi guys . a friend is looking at a e46 tomorrow with the intension on buying . unlike me he is a bit envious about buying one due not knowing much about them . if u could post the things he should look for that be great .. its a 2000 plate with 100,000 miles

cheers

what grade of oil is advised for a e46 318 ?

hi lee . it will do it no harm topping it up make sure its cold ideally .. the plastic trim i assume just clips off .. my e46 dash strips did .. and a owners manual again i thought its the model you want so e46 /36 haynes manual ive never owned one personally i just have a bash myself its all nuts and.bolts my friend .

I own a 318i and has had so far the head gasket replaced and head skimmed + Thermostat , expansion tank, suspension arms +bushes , antiroll bar link + hoses etc etc , and its only done 76000 miles !!!

Now i have the yellow oil lamp on after starting ,but goes out again ( guessing oil level sensor is fault ? ) And a sometimes lumpy idle ( not always ?? )

I still Love this car , but my bank does not !!!!!!!!

i have the same problem with the yellow oil light .. what does this mean ?

2000 318 120,000 both ns and os rear brake lines corroded. (over fuel tank )
