E46 is mine !!!

[adichenko]

Hi, i'm a new owner of e46 318i 2003. Originally i bought the car for my wife as i often have to listen how much she want to own 1. After the purchased, i told her to let me drive 4 couple of weeks as to know if there is any problem with the car (AS IF I KNOW...HEHEHE). Btw, my previous car is a proton wira (kereta cari makan). After couple of weeks (EVERYDAY... HAHAHA) I fell in love with it... but as a good husband i let my wife use it. Everyday i HOPE that she gets bored with the car. Then after couple of months, my wife come to me with complains... how heavy the car is, how heavy the door is, how heavy the steering is, how this, how that... FINALLY... THE CAR IS MINE... WAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA... MY WISH COMES TRUE... WAKAKAKAKAKAKA... :21: Its been 3 weeks since the car is mine... i'm a zero knowledge of the cars. There is few things i wanna ask. Firstly, i noticed that i always have to fill water in the radiator tank. I thought there's a leaking but i don't seem to see any drips. 2nd, when i'm in a parking position, when i opened the driver's door, its vibrate. 3rd when i'm driving, I THINK the noise of the tired sounded really loud (oh, i'm using 18" taiwan rims with yokohama c drive tired)... Is it so? I HOPE THE JEDI MASTER OF BMW CAN HELP ME. MILLION THANKS.

adichenko, firstly welcome to the club. Please introduce yourself in the 'newbies' section and if you have already, please ignore this message. I'll try to answer your questions:
1) there may be a hairline crack in your radiator or your reservoir thats why you dont notice the drip. Better get it checked. its a common E46 problem.
2) im not sure but get your engine mountings checked. may be worned out.
3) tires are wide and less than optimum...sounds like aeroplane going to land on you...
Hope these helps.

your wife could complain, give you back the car and ask for a E92......gud luck....

I will get it check. I was recommended by a fren of mine to service in this workshop call Bavian Benz Budget Service in Sg. Besi... has anyone been there? Btw, how often do i service the car & as a new owner, what service should i do first?

Thanks for the advise Jedi Master & hammer1911 sorry wrong spelling (no spell check...hehehe)
