Hi mate,are you sure its not the aircon smelling? If it doesnt get used for a while it get smelly? Otherwise what i used to do was buy a few neutradol car airfresheners from halfords and leave under the seats?

Hi all, ive been a member for a few weeks since i purchased my 2003 330 ci. Why is it you always find things wrong after youve purchased?? Anyway, i still love it. Its a 2003 auto 330 ci ,orient blue with beige leather. 125000 miles and in good condition apart from a scrape on the bottom bumper. In the last couple of weeks ive put 2x new tyres on the rearand today ive changed the front wishbone bushes and gave it a oil change. Next on my list is 2x new front fog lights,service,and new front shock as theres a slight leak! Anyway, thats why ive joined up on here so i can get any tips! One last thing,i tried to unseize the exhaust flap but i snapped it off! Jamie.

Oh,that dont sound good! Looks like its ebay then! Thanks for the quick reply. Jamie. Are they an easy job? .?

Hi,just had my rear tyres changed.Fronts are being done next month. On the way back from the garage the front wheels seemed to wander a bit. Checked them when i got home and there is movement from the front wheels. I can move them backwards and forwards by hand. This is probably why the front tyres are worn on the edges and when i brake hard it knocks a bit. Is this the bottom track control arms? Do i need the whole thing or can i just change the bushes? Idealy i would like to do next weekend as im off work on saturday. Also,where is the cheapest place to get them? Ive looked on ebay and they range in price quite a bit. Thanks,jamie.

Ive removed it now! Had no choice, it was bent but hopefully it will be ok!

Ive had a look and its seized! I triedto move it but ive bent it. Can i take it out or shall i just bend the other side? Its made a differencealready, sounds more beefy!!

Cheers guys ill look tomorrow!!

Thanks mate.

Whats the golf tee trick?

Whats the best engine oil for my 330 2003?

Hi jim , yes it does. Jamie. Any ideas?

Hi, my newly aquired e46 330 missfires from cold. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks.

Hi all, i picked up a 330 ci sport today! Its a 2003 in dark blue? With beige leather and i love it! I havnt had much time to have a proper play but the bodyworks very good( needs a polish) and the interiors more or less mint.its done 12500 miles but i think this is average. Theres a few things ive noticed, the cooling fan seems to run all the time? The engine management light is on because it hadnt been started for a while and the battery was dead and the alternator is a bit noisy but apart from that its in vgc. I paid £2900 which i didnt think was too bad. Oh yeah,its auto as well. Going to tax it tomorrow then in the next few weeks ill service it! Any ideas about the managment light? Jamie.

Thanks guys, very helpfull.

Hi mate, oh yeah, i meant 330 not 300! Thanks for the info. I definitely want thesport front bumper and seats! Is there such aghing as a sport SE then? Its getting confusing!

Hi all, i was going to purchase an e46 330 ci this weekend but after various forums and ebay ive decided against it. It is advertised as a 300 ci but is in fact a 330 ci se. Which means the bumpers and the seats are different and also has chrome trim around the windows! Lucky that i did my research as normally i rush into buying cars! Anyway , ive come to the conclusion that im after a 2001-2003 330 ci auto with leather. What i would like to know is the difference between 2.5 and 3.0 engines and i like the idea of an auto but is this better than the manual? Sorry about the long post but i dkont want to mess up! Also ,what is the milage i shouldbe looking at? I want to spend ideally,no more than 3 grand. Thanks,jamie

Cheers guys!

Hi all, just joined as im hoping to get a 330 ci 2002 model this weekend. Ill be looking at this forum loads in the next few days for things to look out for etc! Thanks, jamie.
