Hi guys,
recommended to come here by Rhys. Saved my life changing the air con micro filters. Knowledge Base also a great help in confirming how to change oil and plugs. As you can tell, I'm useless at DIY, but learning! Got fed up being ripped off by dealers. Just bought a year 2000 316i SE with the 1.9 litre M43TU engine. Makes ordering replacement stuff awkward because that engine was used in the E46 316i compact, too. EuroCarParts sent me the wrong air filter, but got it sorted out. I've had the car a week, and am going through all the bits. It was supposed to have had a full service by the (non - BMW) dealer before I took delivery. However, the oil was black, the plugs were probably 3 years old, the micro filters looked like the originals, and the air filter was about a year old. Doesn't inspire much confidance, so I'm going to look at EVERYTHING over the next few weeks. It's pretty much stock, on 16" multi spoke alloys. I'll get some photos up soon.
Oh, and I'm in Scotland, near Dundee.
