There is 2.0 6 cyclinder E46 in the market bring by grey importer. Maybe some "adjustment" on the cc I dunno lar.

Thanks for the confirmation and info.. bro..

I would have thought a 328i would have a more "advance" engine/technology than the slower 325i. :rock:

328 is for poor guy like me. 325 wt more advance technology is for richer guy like u:smokin:

I prefer the cable throttle as can feel immediate response & save RM on the booster.
The cable is one of the wear & tear I will do when bought used car. Cost bout Rm100 plus but can feel the difference. 325 is not slow lar only that 328 has more torque hehehe:smokin:

no worries perryyip73....i still waiting for the staff to call me ...after everything done i will post it here.....den maybe we can meet up.....but how to contact ?

 

[arifferio]

better to do diagnose 1st...u can narrow down the problem..

for some cases...its not a major one
it may due to....
- leak or broken intake hose,
- dirty throtle body,
- injector nozzle stuck.

if gearbox problem...normally it will prompt error sign

 

[mell ipoh]

thanks bro..the word "is not a major one "makes me feel better...thanks...

 

[mell ipoh]

Is it possible that the Vanos if acting up after the oil change ? The seal should be in pretty bad shape if it has not been changed since new. No harm changing the seal, if it is not the problem should at least improve the performance. You must have M52TU engine which is double vanos I think!

 

[wan syahmi]

i might think its because of the compression. try to use SAE60 engine oil.

[perryyip73]

bro . mine 328 46 faced same problem as well. than i went for diagnose. result is the air flow sensor and camshaft exhaust sensor were kaput.
fuel consumption too high and lack of power are the syndrom for this prob. get it change lah. both sensor just cost u around 800rm

 

[cidos]

bro mell ipoh,

go for diagnose.
camshaft exhaust sensor is important for top end speed. otherwise you are forcing the engine to work continuously in order to achieve the speed you want.
so minyak kuat lah. cost for this sensor rm 350 i bought the other day.

AMF check this one as well.

bro, pls read post #31. Mell already confirm his problem is due to "Stuck Middle Muffler".
