    Any opinions on the E46 what's it worth realistically.
    Are the larger diesels worth considering? One reason I ask is this

    First impressions were very good. Car needs two tires. I also spotted that the PAS hoses under the engine were soaked but the engine is dry. The Traction Control light is staying on too I reset the tyre pressure warning light (wheels have rubber valves not metal ones if that has any relevance regarding tyre pressure sensors on these). Its missing the plastic key from glove box but the holder is present and there is a glovebox torch but i dont see a socket for it? DMF and clutch were recently replaced



    Ill give it a full service during the week incl. Gearbox oil and diff oil. Can someone tell me if its okay to use engine flush on this engine?

    Nice car, congrats.

    On the pressure warning just check the tyre pressures, adjust if needed and then reset, then drive as it takes a few mins to measure each tyre iirc. The sensor monitors for a change in tyre shape iirc as a result of a change in pressure. Could be a new tyre was put on, a puncture fixed, etc and someone never reset it or you might have a puncture.

    On the traction control did you try the obvious pressing the button in the center of the dash to see if the light goes out. Sometimes you need to hold for a few seconds. Could be someone just turned it off?

    Will I have to delete swirl flaps on this? I suppose I could spot if their done without removing manifold?
