Beautiful motor there Scott, as I was reading your post I was thinking this sounds exactly like myself i.e.Β age, time of ownership, year of car etc.....Lol, only difference is I've got a 330ci. Your e46 is sitting really nice, I assume it's on coilovers? I also noticed the side skirt and front splitters, they look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am struggling like mad to find out any servicing information - it cant be the same as a standard 330i and I will only do a few k miles per year and it will get oil changes regularly - do you have any contact or info on servicing? Β Oil filters are standard - air filters are not and I have been told you can no longer get them but they can be cleaned and re-oiled. Also the supercharger belt is made by Gates and you can get hold of them - but I know little else about what additional servicing elements need doing. I appreciate that they are not highly strung in terms of pressure but they cant be the same as a 330i for servicing surely?

Tony55781 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi Bigalx im out of the country atm but when I'm back I'll dig out all the info I have, I've got all the original docs and brochures with the car,Β it's also previously had a complete new charger, a few years ago so I have the receipt with all the part numbers for the belts.

There's a rear diffuser too but it's difficult to see on the photo. That's my only regret, it's not powerful enough. I've spent too much to sell it for something else now and it's such a clean car. I've spared no expense on it. Only on 82000 too π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we haven't had anything like it since !!
