I have found on the e46 M3 the pins on the exhaust camshaft gear that run the oil pump for the vanos have a tendancy to shear off. The car will still run, but the vanos will not operate. Not sure if this is an early model problem or not.


5toes: I would also start looking for a knuckle as well depending on how severely you bent your rim and control arm.

knuckle? Could you please explain this part to me?

Sigh. Sorry about your car - wish I could say I'm surprised. Glad you are ok.

[5Toes]

Anybody have a hookup for getting PDR done?

For the lulz. Don't get me wrong, I like it alright. Just kinda gets old after a while.

Can't go wrong with white or black. Now having the bell housing on the ground, should I support it? I am basically just scrubbing it than taking a pressure hose to it at a car wash.

I had a black E28. Bitch to keep clean. White is much easier.

You won't need to. Most of the weight is from the ass end of the trans, so it will keep itself supported.

Thanks for the info.

The one he was looking at has 135k miles.
Ill have to look at what problems they have at that mileage.

5toes, you should buy my car now rather then fix yours.
