The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[ComradeNick]

When I bought my car there a factory sunshade in the trunk. It seems too small for my car, but I don't know which one to buy, any suggestions?

Also which car is this sunshade for, the coupe maybe?

Nah, the coupe has a longer windshield. Don't know what that lil guy is for.

I wanted the bavauto ultimate sunshade and found it under the generic brand on autoanything so I was able to use coupons. Search around and you'll find the thread on it.

Is there a tag with any writing/numbers?

This is the factory shade - https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...89#82111470411

Supposedly it fits ALL E46 3 Series from 1999 to 2005 (E46 320 320i 323 323Ci 323i 325 325Ci 325i 325Xi 328 328i 328Ci 330 330i 330Xi 330Ci M3) / Sedan / Coupe / Convertible / Touring: BMW List Price:$65.00, from online dealer parts stores & eBay ~$50.70.

You can also check the Covercraft UVS100 - appears to be the same item without BMW lettering across it.

Are these a direct bolt on with the 135i BMWP calipers?

99% sure the BMWP kit from ECS uses the same dimension bracket as RebootEngineering does for regular 135i calipers. It’s set up for use with standard 330 rotors (325x25). M3/CSL/ZCP rotors are 28mm thick.

Yesterday my hazard and lock switches in the console stopped working and the mirrors have started acting possessed. My locks still work from the fob. The mirrors will move unprovoked to through their full range of motion. When I use the switch to select right or left and move the joystick, it will move all the way in that direction. so I am unable to adjust my mirrors short of manually.

Anyone had this issue?

I wonder if this is a GM5 issue?

What is GM5? I am still learning. This is my first German.

Anything I should be planning to do at the same time as tackling the oil pan gasket? After my starter fiasco, I don’t want to ever have another scenario where I’masking myself “why the hell didn’t I do that while I was in there?!”...

All depends on how far you want to take it.

I did gasket, engine mounts, steering coupler, oil level sensor. The oil pan nut was tight so I did not do anything with it.

You can get a different oil pump, weld in an oil pan baffle, and etc.

You should talk to Rob. He started off with replacing the oil pan gasket (I think) and ended with a supercharger and headers lol

The it was supposed to be just an oil pan gasket project
