Bimmerbum's post has all you need regarding that. Regarding the wheel wiggle, that could be weal bearing, but it seems slight, so it will need attention eventually. But your going to have to do more then that for it to break down on you, you won't have to worry about it falling off or anything that is specifically dangerous at this point.
Hi there

Dont I have the BMW 318ti E46 Compact Europe N42 engine?

Mine is a 2002 model.

Looking on the internet the 2 round things that plug in with two connections and a silver bracket. Prone to leak.

Confused now
