I still want the accessory power to come on when unlocked. Also, I would like the lights to come on when a door is opened. Does anybody know if this is doable? Cheers! Hi,

So I've been doing this since last year and 'car-wise' gets me more productive. DIY sticky :craig:

So while the tank is filling up I clean my windshield, wipe the side mirrors and rear/head lights.

For years I have been around 23MPG. Never higher, never lower.

For the last few fill ups my MPG is around 30MPG. The only thing I changed in the last 2-3 months or so is my fuel filter, and started using mid-grade rather than premium.

I highly doubt that a dirty fuel filter would make this huge difference. ]]> General E46 Forum adaseb http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=987851 Alpine DVD / free view Tv / hands free/ iPod http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=987850&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 07:31:19 GMT If anyone's interested I have a Alpine DVD recently taken out of my E46 BMW.
With it comes alpine free view tv , Alpine parrot hands free its blue tooth and iPod compatible. Comes with all wires and connections to go straight into an E46. Including harness for steering wheel controls.

The car it was in was only used a handful of times being second car so the unit it's self is unmarked in very good condition.
I have also receipts for when I bought it was professionally installed and removed.

£200,which is a bargain? It's just stored away doing nothing.
First to see will buy.

But today that was a very humid day, i saw the car leaking hard from de middle of the car. I couldnt tell if it was the air con or some leak from that zone. How to tell the difference? I touched the water and it wasnt very hot, it was really warm and not green. But the fact is that every three days im adding half a liter and car runs smooth, little bit rough when the first start of the day that it isnt very cold. ]]> General E46 Forum mpereznoble http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=987848
