    I have a 2003 318i with a N42B20 141hp. I need to replace my DME. I verified the DME was causing my trouble, not wanting to read the crankshaft sensor. I tried a new DME, but upon further research I found out it needs to be programmed. Now my question. How? The VIN, ISN (Rolling Code), and...

    Time to replace some O2 Sensors. Found these on Amazon. Super cheap at $52.96. Bosch 15738 (Universal fitment) (and right now there's a clickable coupon for 15% off) This specific model comes with a wiring kit that lets you wire up your old harness to the new wires.

    I wanted to pass this on to anyone who may want or need new O2 sensors for their e46. I noticed that Amazon is once again stocking the Bosch 15109 (BMW P/N 11-78-1-742-050) Pre-Cat O2 Sensor for $42. This O2 sensor will fit all Non M models - 323i/Ci, 328i/Ci, 325Xi, 330Xi. It will only fit...
