If one goes on the blink, you just replace the board, transducer, actuator or whatever. Electronic parts have a normal lifespan of 5 to 7 years, and the E46 you're looking at is entering that age. Take extra care to find out as much as you can about its maintenance history. Some 5 year old luxury cars will be trouble-free for years to come, some will be major migraines.Good luck with your purchase syaril! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
