I read somwhere that they have issues with the cooling systems. Any truth to that?
^^^in my reply the very first common maintence item i listed was that. replace every 60-80k. oh yea, expansion tanks can crack too(overflow bottle) but thats not very often. i wouldnt bother replacing that until it does crack.
E36 have the issues with the plastic impeller on the water pump which is the main problem
i <3 you
i love mine.
subframe is the only real concern…due to such an awesome community of car enthusiasts complaining to BMW , all e46 owners are entitled to a free inspection of subframe @ a bmw dealership and if anythign is wrong, the fix is FREE.
this expires sept 2010…
Just by on that 01 or newer they are much less prone to the subframe problems
I feel like this topic has been covered here before
If there is no tear you forfeit all future legal actions against BMW to fix the repair. Also it is a one time only shot. Read the letter a bit better.
^^^^yep. thats why you put it on a lift somewhere else and look for yourself, then go to bmw and tell them you want the inspection. thats what i did. i actually had mine done a few months before the lawsuit was settled. took about a week from dropping the car off to picking it up. the free loaner was a piece of shit g6 though.
