Not all 16" fit. Some do though. Tirerack has some for real cheap $99 (I'm sure you can find others). I'm all for 16" as my M3 suspension benefits from a bit more sidewall when hitting crater in the road in the winter months. Also if you care about snow traction go smaller width (I have all season w aggressive tread 205 wide which do a really go job, not extreme as my old blizzak but also a lot more enjoyable on dry pavement.) Cheers, Stefano '98 M3 w 16" In response to: ------- From: "DUNLAP, LARRY CIV DFAS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: E46 330i rims Quick question, I'm looking for a second set of rims for some winter tires, but I am finding conflicting information on this... Will 16" rims fit on an E46 330? I have seen some sources that say yes, and others that say "except for 330", so which is the truth? -Larry ----------------------------- _____________________________________________________________ This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.

It looks straightforward enough. Bentley makes it look easy. Any gotchas?

Make sure you replace the 180 degree hose that goes from pump to T/stat housing. Brett Anderson KMS Marco Romani wrote: > I need to replace the water pump on my E28 535.

I pulled the codes with my Peake code reader and got this: Table 16 AA 4F C9 d2 Table 16 refers to table 11, and there is no "AA" listed. 4F is After Cat heater O2 sensor cyl 1-3, C9 is Pre Cat 02 no activity, cyl 4-6, and d2 is Ignition feedback faulty >2 cyl. I changed the O2 sensors some time back, and I wouldn't think they would go bad in an instant, but guess they can. Anybody got any ideas? I can clear the codes but the come right back, and it runs really badly, can hardly maintain 45 mph in 4th gear.

Dealer protocol is must "bleed" (presumable valve train oil passages?) 5 x and wait 15 minutes? If that doesn't work (and it didn't, noise was back when I went to pick it up) the dealer says next step is that they contact BMW and supposedly replace the cylinder head with a new part that has an added check valve. This vehicle only has ~ 12-13K miles. Brett A - any insight??? Thanks all.

SIB 11 09 07 covers the bleeding procedure. Regular oil changes should help prevent this issue from returning.
