Im` new here, and just bought E46 Jap spec Msport 318i 2.0.
Shall anyone suggest me which type of engine oil and their detail spec such as 5W-40 or what.
TQ
Congrate for becoming Bimmerian....
Castrol is good. but everybody have different experience and view with the lube.My experience with BMW E46 2002.
I bought my E46 and it register a total milage of 65000KM as of to day, 18/2/2010.
The car runs perfactly for the first three years & problem started from the fourth year till today. The below are the list of repair/ replacement done.
1. Air-con cooling coil leaks & replaced.
2. Front passenger side power window regulators, replaced.
3. Engine's seal & gasket leaks & completely replaced.
4. Front driver side wheel bearing replaced.
5. Radiator leaks & replaced.
6. Front left lower arm/ ball joint demaged, replaced.
7. Engine's motor oil filling cap broken, replaced.
8. Internal celing drops, replaced.
9. Battery flat out, replaced.
10. ReTar brake light burned, replaced.
11. Ignation plugs' cable, replaced.
12. ASC modullar controller demaged, not replaced due to high cost.
13. Lower under carriage have a clicking sound when run over road's bump. - Unfound cause.
14. Now front driver side brake jammed, not repaired yet.
15. Air-con compressor demaged, replaced.
As of till today, my repair bills has cumulatively reaches near 20k to 30k( My guess).
This BMW of mine is actually my 3rd spare car, seldom used & engine warm is done everyday for 15 mins even not on the road.
I am driving 5 cars. A Mecedeces E230, Pajero, Toyota MR2, BMW E46 & the latest collection is the Honda Accord 2009.
All mine other cars has no major problem except the BMW E46.
To my knowlrdage, BMW is supposed to be a high profile car, but why its give endless problem ?Do anyone here experience the same too ??? I just wonder.

I'm using my BM E46 almost everyday going places in Klang Valley. After a few days (let say 4-5 days), the radiator signal appear. So i top up the radiator tank and the signal dissappear. This happens almost every week or every two weeks (since last 3 months). Whats the problem ya? Is it my radiator leak?

Thanks johnj..
Will repair it together with my service (another 5000km)..how much it cost ya? I'l try looking the cost in other thread too..huhu
Oh ya, another one problem, just remember - my aircond sometimes didnt work. it seem like something not 'in touch'..
(normally when start the car the fan will on and then i on the aircond, but the problem i face is after start the car its like no fan, no aircond even after i on aircond) -----> it will automicallly ok after quite a some times (maybe after 5 or 10 minutes)
Thanks
