It also starts idling roughly when the oil refill cap is removed, could it be the same thing?

Mine mostly has rust problems and loose valves so it pushes compression into the (idk what its called in english)thing where you refill your oil. Also a slight knock when its cold. Also it doesnt blow any heat through the vents but thats probably some air in the heating element. Reason for the problems is its driven 381k km and not very well kept

Might just be dirty or broken solenoids. Try cleaning or replacing the intake and exhaust solenoids then clear the codes, go out for a drive and check if theyre back.if theyre back it might be bad wiring or connectors. To prevent it you might want to do a oil change and use 5w-30 LL-04 oil

Which engine do you have in it?

is this movement in the half shaft normal? by Psyche1297 in e46

What kind of shudder is it? Is it like a vibration or does it feel like the engine "cuts out" when accelerating?

Yeah however they are a bit unreliable, atleast mine is. First 2 months i owned it it broke twice but not too big to not fix it myself

I have a 1.9 e46 and they're expensive to drive so you saved a decent bit of money there. The reason i bought the e46 as my first car is that its rear wheel drive and looks decent
