Hi all, this is the first car of mine ive posted on here, so here it goes:
After previously owning a e36, then switching to a subaru impreza, i really missed the whole bmw experience. as it happened someone crashed into my subaru writing it off, which gave me the chance to purchace another bmw. i was looking to get another e36, but then saw this e46 at a bargin price and couldnt resist.
its a 2002 318ci se. she got a fair bit of milage at 136000 but it was mostly motorway miles.
here are a few pics of it so far, need to get out some sunny day and take a few decent pics.
I know you cant see it in the pics but it has pressed number plates which i think really makes the car stand out.
After driving if for a few days i noticed that it was very jerky when accelerating, at first i thought that i wasnt used to the CDV but i didnt think that the bunny hopping should be that bad ,so i did some research and found that the air intake pipe had come loose just after the ari flow meter. apparently its quite a common fault as the airbox is fixed to the chassis and the engine moves, so overtime the intake pipe either cracks , tears, or comes loose. so that was an easy fix. thankfully.
Next on the list is new disk and pads all round aswell as a new handbrake kit, got them this morning so hopefully find some time to fit them this week some time.
anyway thanks for reading.
