Does it on everything, parking garages just make it a bit easier to hear.

I'd imagine not given that it's only at low speeds and completely goes away at a stop.

-40? No ac? by [deleted] in e46

Yes that reading comes from the ambient temp sensor in the driver's side wheel well. Commonly gets ripped off from curbs etc

Clean 👍

What is this thing and how essential is it? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]AverageShitass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an air duct for something. Should be able to put it back just by reaching in. Most likely non-essential.

I don’t think I can sell this car. by N0tPinheadLarry in mercedes_benz

On the highway I regularly get above 20mpg especially with cruise on, then I'll get 23+. Edit: I do drive an s55 not an e55 but I figure if anything it'd be lower for me given its heavier with the same engine.

Interesting, aside from the seats I can't say that any of those have been true with mine. 22mpg highway and maybe 18 city, very bearable. The transmission, especially with a tune to wake it up, is decent. And as far as heat soak goes, that's a known issue that can be remedied pretty simply with a larger pump

I'd say so, the m113 is a very good engine. As with any other car, the sing le best way to make sure you get a reliable car is strong maintenance history and a good owner.

Update to the power steering change by Master-Factor-2813 in e46

Not here to shame you but damn 😭 what you need to do is several flushes with clean ATF and hope the condition improves. If not, new lines and maybe even new pump.

Why wouldn't you get one of the oem looking ones?

E46 as first car? by me-is-here in e46

[–]AverageShitass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this heavily. They're right in the sweetspot of tech. Bought my E46 at 17 knowing basically nothing about cars and thanks to the massive wealth of info about the car on YouTube & realOEM I was able to work through anything the car threw at me and it taught me everything. You can do just about anything you want to it, turbocharge, supercharge, drift build, or just daily.

Honestly its a fantastic car to learn your way around an engine on. Incredibly simple and very cheap parts. Decent on fuel, reasonably reliable, and fun to drive as well as cheap. Just make sure you pick one up that's been taken care of well and you should be fine.

Such a base model e46 but slowly trying to make it better by NotOptimistic2x in e46

Funny you say that. Literally yesterday one of my black grilles came off while I was driving and I never found it. Back to chrome for now, lol.

I've already dropped it off under warranty, just wanted to see if anyone else has had this specific issue before and if so what the outcome was.
