E46 ftl

[ethree]

I can't handle the blair witch project camera action, I'm nauseous.

Seriously how hard do you have to beat on a car to do that? I know the E36 and E46 had issues but damn!!!!

My thoughts exactly. I knew this was the weak link of E46's but holy shit I didn't know it could possibly get that bad.

Also, those are some freakin horrible welds. My god, the first time I welded, I did a better job than that. :down:

Seee I tell everyone I would never take a e46 over my e30

[mikeedler]

here in Germany BMM is still taking the the cost of the repairs on all E46s. we do about 1 a month or so- some months a few more. I really can't imagine that BMW NA isnt repairing that stuff over there.
that is really sad what they are doing!!!WTF???

That Pruven place is down the road from me, I have not heard too many good things about them. As for the E46 wow that is just amazing, abuse or not. The car isnt that powerful and for it to be that bad I would expect it to be a track car w/ 600hp that is beat the snot out of. This is why I will stick to my S52 swapped E30 that has more character, just as quick and will never have those problems.

I like the look of it but nothing tops the original m3

[structured]

So the m3 can't handle the extra power over a regular 3 series but an srt-4 can handle the power over a neon? Nice one BMW...

I'm pretty sure that this is happening to all E46's...

I'm pretty sure that this is happening to all E46's...

It doesn't happen to 323s with 15" wheels and non sport suspension.

one of the reasons why I picked up an e30... Officially the most reliable BMW ever... I'm seriously using my e46 as a daily driver until it breaks

[colombacho]

I'm pretty sure that this is happening to all E46's...

Yup, four door, coupe, etc... the e46 chasiss is the coulprit. For certain buid dates only though.

[Tbolt]

mmmmmmm e46 owners get shit on...that sucks

[Wh33lhop]

I still want an HPF E46 M3. Yay 30k turbo kit...

[Mystikal]

It doesn't happen to 323s with 15" wheels and non sport suspension.

Yup, I've seen it! Even ones driven by grandmothers, steptronic and all. It's pretty sad.

BMW Canada isn't budging on the repairs though. Local guys are having to pay out of pocket.

[blazing]

Imagine what the HorsePowerFreakes M3's will look like shit the whole back of the car could fall off.
If the car is stock or mildly modified bmw should be picking up the repairs period.

I heard that some people were working on a class action lawsuit for this very problem.

I also heard that there was some sort of recall and that BMW was fixing cars that were brought in with this problem.

Just hearsay, though.

It would be easy enough for BMW to say the cars must have not been driven as intended or some shit like that.
