    Have an '04 330 ZHP that recently had some steering rack/alignment work done on it by a local Euro shop. After getting it back I noticed that when straightening the steering wheel coming out of a turn when the wheel was at full lock that the steering "catches" as if something is binding. Tech...

    Hi all, For a while now I have been looking a propshaft for my 2003 330i with 170kw and a 6 speed manual transmission. Because of it's rarity it's quite hard to even find a seller for this part, let alone a part that hasn't been beaten. VIN for my car ends with PD81705. The part number I'm...

    Does anyone know how to program the throttle body for a E46 330i sedan 2001? I saw on youtube that holding the accelerator with the ignition in position 2 might do it.
