Well known topic among high-mileage e46 owners!

105,000 mile 325ti with a bowed radiator and a weeping expansion tank. Think it's time to get the cooling system overhauled!

My question is what are the main parts that need replacement after 100,000 miles?

Also, how much is this gonna cost me?!

Apart from the cooling system, the tired sport suspension, bushes and window seals, it runs like a dream. biggrin

Radiator, pump and belts should sort the cooling system.

Powerflex bushes on the front lower arms and front of the rear trailing arms should sort the bushes.

Loads of options for the suspension but I would not go cheap coilover kit. Either get a very good coilover kit or just new shocks and maybe Eibach springs, suspension sorted.
Ta for the information, 8Tech. beer
