3-Series (E46, E90)Chat relating to the BMW 3-Series from 1999 to Current. Models include: BMW 316i, BMW 318i, BMW 318Ci, BMW 320i, BMW 323i, BMW 325i, BMW 330i, BMW 328 Ci, BMW 328i, BMW 325i/xi, BMW 330Ci, BMW 320d, BMW 330d, BMW 335d.
a couple of q's...the yellow oil can looking light above the speedo keeps coming on for like thirty seconds and then turns off. this seems strange because i just had the inspection 2 done a week and a half ago and all they said was that my thermostat housing is cracked and my bushings are torn. they said nothing about the oil or the oil light. i called them and they told me to check the level which i did and was ok. why would it be low....they just changed the oil 8 damn days ago! anyway, any insight would be appreciated.
also, i used to detail cars when i was sixteen and had the opportunity to drive a bunch of different bimmers. i distinctly remember the display saying welcome when i turned the car on. mine does not. it doesn't give me any kind words of greeting-just the countdown to my next oil change. its ok i guess but i'm just curious if all your e46's do the same.
i'm also wondering about your opinions about the urethane powerflex bushings. good? bad? so-so? also if there were any noticeable differences after you swapped them.
The Display... I know Five Series and up do that, i haven't seen a 3 series do that tho.
The Bushings.... a must, the stock ones lick nuts, and although I did buy Poly Urethane ones, the shop installed M3 ones... oh well those are better then the stock ones anyway
The bushings I got were 125 installed. And no, i doubt it will fix your pulling problem. Many will sit here and tell you it will, but I still doubt it. I have had every damn part looked at front and back and my car still jerks to left, freaking irratates me to no end.
