I just bought the car not too long ago, and am looking for anyone with advice/wisdom on what I may need to watch out for as in regards to things that may be proned to breaking, or a cetain maintenance on the car (ie, belts, fluids...)
I just want a heads up so I know I'll have to deal with it sooner, rather than later,

thanx for the help.

The worst thing to watch out for is the mod bug. :banghead:


In all seriousness though watch out for rear subframe tearing.
search www.e46fanatics.com for more info on it.

there is warranty left.
i was told it was 5 years, 60,000 kms, but i am not sure if that is correct
I called BMW and they said it was 4 years 80,000 maybe. I guess i should give them my VIN and they can find out how much warranty i actually have left huh...

anyhow, thanx for the tips guys.

Pixxie2000, what is subframe tearing?
