Sorry dude. There are just somethings on Bimmers that are meant to wear out. You might want to have a looksie at the lower control are bushings on the the e46. If they haven't been changed, they're bad... Also check the PS lines, it's probably leaking, also check the IAC hose, it's cracked. The list goes on. Everything has been replaced multiple times with OEM parts with Factory service. These are know parts that fail regularly. Check the dealer stock of these items. There's plenty. 'Cause they fail regularly. The thermo housing alone $117 for a thermostat. Fails regularly. BMW a great car but they have a fair amount of problems. What I find interesting, the parts that fail, one expect would last the life of the car.

Dude that sucks.
My mom has an O8 535i with 27k miles and we just had to get it towed to the dealer. My dad was driving it at the time and said it started running like **** and "felt like it had water in the gas". Turns out the "fuel pressure regulator" (not fuel pump my dad says) went out. WTF? 27k miles?? Are you serious??
California has a law that lets you return cars within 3 days of ownership...
