Oh Gosh!
Am so happy a thread for bimmer lovers is finally on nairaland.
I love bmw so much I cruise around town in one.
I was initially into jap autos but got 'born again' last year.
I got my self a nice bmw 3 series, Bmw 323ci. - a wonderful coupe with a straight six that thunders on third mainland bridge. I pass all the jap suckers with their huge fibre toys and they won't understaand why with only 170hp, I can still cruise and jet off their sights without hesitation.
Bmws are made for men with guts. The ASC system is excellent and I hug corners like am on a val date
I use cars for only 12 months so I might have to let go of my coupe baby soon. But guess which car am buying next? Bimmer of course.
Bimmers for men

i am addicted to the BMW E46.

this is a sweet clean ride. the dashbord is clean with no warning light on. a good omen.

good ride, handling and performance.

happy sales OP.

on questions about reliablility, use approved synthetic oils (i use Mobil 1 0W40), alow only trained and experienced technicians, and this car would be more than faithful, am talking from experience- i use a 323CI E46

@kellyman

You might never know until you scan
The excessive fuel consumption in your car could be due to certain faults your mechanic cannot detect.
If you have spent so much on buying the car, why not spend just a little more to understand the car

detect hidden faults, stop guesswork on your car

07083943131

first advice, try changing the topic to make readers understand the main issue

to the issue raised, it is obvious improper installation of the engine can cause the problems raised for the transmission. torque converter, wiring etc should be checked. was enough ATF added after re-installation and hope its not the cheap N300 per bottle stuff that was dumped therein.

black smoke simply means there is a problem with the combustion, too much fuel is being burnt. causes are vast ranging from faulty MAF systems, Injector issues, intake bla bla bla, it could even be a simple connection issue. a vehicle diagnostics might be required.

scan your vehicle

shaddie:
@EEL, I just returned from an auto workshop where I did a comprehensive auto scan. Those who reside in Abuja will know the place- Jethro. I think after them, they only other place i can visit in Abuja is Honda Place (which obviously is very expensive). Their scan still didn't show anything different (that the gear box is intact) hence they decided to just service the gear box and said we should try the car. But the problem still continued.

He then said it must be an electrical fault. that they'll work on it and replace the sensor. I'm however not convinced as I'm still trying to figure out the relationship between the gear box and what he mentioned. I told him I'll think about it as I'm tired of trial and error suggestions which is already costing me so much. Do u think that could be the problem? Any hope that it could be the solution?

if the diagnosis reported no error, how come he diagnosed it was a sensor problem

clean off that annoying 'service engine soon' light

before attempting an expensive change of transmission, pls review steps stated below.

1. does your transmission fluid smell burnt? is the colour brownish?
2. confirm that there is no leak, this should be noticeable minutes after parking,
3. scans conducted using cheap obd tools might not detect all manufacturer related DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Code). The same way you cant browse on your nokia 3310. Visit an advanced diagnostic shop with honda specific scanners or Universal scanners like the V30.
4. it is not advisable to push your transmission during this stress period as it may damage more components beyond repair. a simple sensor problem might later turn to total transmission overhaul very soon.

please revert.
