Gaz Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Welcome mate. That Mistibushi really did a job on the 5 series! Good thing they're solid cars! Nice looking 3 series How are you finding it so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keanukev2 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 yeah finding the e46 all good, no problems with the car so far all drives nice went for the facelift on a '51' reg as they was still fitted with the older style 4 cylinder lump, not a great fan of the newer 4 cylinder one.

Jay. Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 are you sure mate? AFAIK the 2001 facelift for the saloon introduced the N42 2.0 1995CC 16v engine ,as opposed to the 1.9 M43TU found in cars pre 2001? i'd check your logbook for the CC as you more than likley have the later engine. ( i had one and had quite a bit of work done to it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( i had one and had quite a bit of work done to it ... yes it is definitly the 1.9 engine, looks the same lump that was in my e36 years ago, wouldnt have bought it if it had that newer black engine, i cant stand them, looked at about 10 of them with that engine and everyone had issues i know they are rare to have the older engine in the newer facelift thats why i bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BazzaB1971 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 hello everyone, just purchased my FIRST beemer, a 2001 1.8iSE, loving it so far, apart from the cost of maintenance and petrol, just had the PCV valve and vacuum pipes changed and now my rear inner pads and sleeves have disintergrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Welcome Dawg and Bazza. Shame you're having to get lots done Bazza. Generally if you keep on top of things then the price for repair isn't too bad. Never nice having to fork out for it though. Make sure you get some pictures up of the car. We like pictures! haha Also, bonus points from me if you're a Newcastle fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
