Right, done some digging on the net and found out that E46's don't have a diagnostic connector on the engine bay.

From here: [url]www.bimmerdiy.com/e46[/url]

"You should not have the 20-pin DLC connector. You only need to hold the left odometer reset button while turning the key to position 1 (Accessory). Keep holding the button for 5 or so seconds until any of the following shows in the display: OIL SERVICE or INSPECTION with RESET or RE. Release the button and press it again for another 5 or so seconds until RESET or RE flash. While the display flashes, press the button one more time briefly. If done correctly, END SIA should show up for a few seconds. All done. "

HTH others, just got to find out prices for oil filter and oil tomorrow. What oil is recommended for the 320d? I think i'll stick with what bmw recommends.
