The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

how do you setup the bluetooth pairing? i have an '05 coupe.

Not all E46s came with Bluetooth - what I've heard is that the coupes all have the buttons on the steering wheel for it but that doesn't mean it was ever enabled or functioning. My 2005 325Ci had the buttons but no Bluetooth.

With that being said, the easiest way to find out is to press the R/T button on top of the one with an icon of a head that's speaking. If you are Bluetooth-enabled, the radio should read "searching." That's when you would use your phone to search for the connection, enter the PIN, and you will be linked from then on whenever the car is on.

From what I've heard/read, most if not all E46 coupes have the R/T and Bluetooth button on the left side of the steering wheel.
Whether or not it's enabled/functioning though, depends on if the original owner purchased that option.
My 2005 325Ci did not respond when I pressed those buttons. But for the 330Ci, pressing the R/T prompted the radio display to read "SEARCHING" and that's when I was able to connect to it using my phone.

You can check by pressing the R/T button, or the Bluetooth button (a face talking, it's right next to R/T).

Need some help, ladies and gents.

I have the opportunity to get some E38 M parallels. Does anyone know the specs of these wheels? How much do they weigh, is the center bore the same, and how can I fit them to an E46? I remember someone here doing it, but I wouldn't be able to find the thread.

Thanks.

Shoot, I'm sure JP would probably know this, if we could get in touch with him.

Anyone know if I'll be able to fit these? I love the look, but I'm not sure I'd move from the 135s for them.

Edit: Not much help but it's something to get you started.

Assuming you're looking at the 8 inch wheel, they have an offset of +13. Comparing to 8 inch 135s, those have an offset of +47. I'm guessing you would have to cut/roll your fenders to make them work.
