Hola! I check the forum regularly and thought I was the only one left, but good to know I'm not alone.

Congrats. Wishing you all the best for the future.

I know (I remember), but it could be causing pressure/tension somewhere and it finally gave in. Hopefully they'll find out why and fix it for good.

Cheers for the update. That's a bit of a nightmare. I'm guessing it's the SC causing the issue? Glad you've still got the car.

Haha. BMWs are weird. Typical BMW sensor that isn't happy with life. Seems like you found the right car for your needs. If the family like it then you're definitely winning. The E46 is my 'daily' but I only do ~1k miles a year. Just need to decide if I should spend big on the 46 and make it factory fresh or sell it and replace it with a 440 or another model (F06/F13 M6s are tempting)! Not much price difference between an M6 and a 440 but obviously running costs will be a lot more on the M6. In an ideal world I'd keep the 46 and buy another car but then people will think I'm a BMW collector. Lol. I don't think I've ever met anyone that doesn't like the E46. A few weeks back I had a long chat with my postman... He said he likes the coupe shape and how clean it is. He looked at the reg and said ''oh, it's a 2014 model.'' I said no, it was built in 2004. He was genuinely shocked. Yeah, I've seen the prices climb recently. Quite a few 330s have sold for £10k but that's nothing compared to E39 M5s... Can't find a low mileage, low owner example for less than £35-40k. P.S. as a dad, you need to do the right thing and make sure your kids own an E46 when they're old enough to drive etc.

Jesus, that's bad, even after the so-called repair. Finding a decent body shop is almost impossible now as no one is willing to put in the work to do a proper job but they'll gladly accept your money and leave you with rusting arches 6 months down the line. Not sure what to do with my 330Ci... Either restore it [I've bought a lot of parts recently] or replace it with an F32/36 440i. If I sell it I'll probably regret it as I love the styling and the way it drives + people of all ages admire it. Restoring it will be big money and resprays are never as good as factory paint in terms of thickness and durability. E70, nice! Comfy ride and handles well (considering the size). Re: the sensor - any specialist nearby with diagnostic software? I've got ISTA but you're too far from me.

Good to see another active member. Shame you had to sell but understandable. They're great cars but the achilles heel is the rust. IIRC, you had the rear arches 'repaired' under warranty, didn't you?

Does anyone else have an E46 in 2024 or am I the only one? Haha

Hope you're well. Do you still have the 46? Any updates?
