  1. Hi tony pa, Yes I've had one from BMW through dvla, mines a 2001 '51' plate and I've been advised to contact BMW and have it booked in due to risk of it not functioning properly should I have an accident, it's the module isn't it. Think it's right across the board of 3 series e46?!?! Should only take an hour they say?
  2. Hi richy, I have this same problem on a 2001 318ci sadly I don't have an answer but would like to follow this thread too find an outcome myself as mine will only lock, not unlock on the key fob. Is yours doing the same? All the best. Jamie
  3. Hi all, have a few problems too list drivers door lock pin has stopped going up when un-locking but WILL drop down when I lock the car? air con blowers work when turned off still and can run battery flat, think it's the hedgehog resistor thingy? Anyone know if it's an easy job? car windows all open when un-locking and holding down, but will not perform the closing task when you lock and hold? have a very juddering car some times from the back on pull away almost like a knocking/labouring effect That's all folks, any help/advice would be most appreciated. Thanks, Jamie.

  5. Welcome, that's a really nice example! Enjoy owning one, I have a 318ci 2001 e46 which I love and intend on fixing up all the little niggly bits that need doing. (Just tidying up) all the best!
