[QUOTE="fendi1600, post: 114416, member: 2395"] Well guys...I'm not a technical person..I don't really know about engine...but I really love Bimmer...I thought I'm driving the ultimate driving machine...by now we know that our E46 definitely got an engine problem..Personally I thought using my own rule of thumb...for a brand new car...should last at least 5 years without any major pbm....I just collected my car with a bill totalling RM1100.00...FYI, I just change only 1 ignition coils for cylinder # 4...the mechanic still insist that I have to change all 4 ignition coils...When I asked why all 4?..R u expecting more engine miss fire? Is it factory defect ? Why don't u replace all 4 when I had my first engine missfire during warranty? "..when the engine is hot the oils got clustered thus causing the ignition coil short circuit..pls send service regularly.."...Is it true...I don't know....I'm no mechanic.. ... He said it is not factory defect but now they have the new improve and reliable BOSCH ignition coil......full of crap..well I think that we are now using ignition coil "cap ayam brand" from German ...they still don't want to admit it...furthermore the mech. told me that we should send our car for service every 15,000 KM...instead of 25,000...another crap...I've just sent my car for service 1 month ago and still got pbms... ...the BOSCH ignition coil part will cost about RM176.00 per cylinder...(labour cekik darah) ..but sometime they will try to convince you that got air leak here and there which cause the vibration....mine "here and there" parts replacement cause about RM 760.00 but it is actually the ignition coils...because only after replacing the ignition coils my engine stop vibrating completely..For a lay man like me...I know that something is not right.. ...My final word of advice ...for those still under warranty...insist to replace all 4/6 new improved ignition coils instead of the current cap Ayam brand ....
