The E46 was released in 1998 to worldwide markets (excluding the United States) in the sedan body style. In 1999, a coupé and touring body style became available to all markets, and the sedan was released in the United States. A convertible and hatchback body style was released in 2000, the latter only for Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The E46 experienced enormous success in all markets and was widely considered the performance benchmark of its class.[4] The record selling year for the E46 chassis was 2002, when 561,249 vehicles were sold worldwide.[5] BMW M GmbH produced a high performance variant of the E46 chassis, designated the M3. This version had a larger, more powerful engine, sportier suspension, a limited slip differential, and various aesthetic modifications. The M3 was released in 2001 and was available only in the coupé and convertible body style. It was offered with two transmissions; a standard 6-speed manual, or an optional sequential manual gearbox.

DesignworksUSA was contracted by BMW to work alongside BMW Group's in house design team to create the exterior body work.[6] Based on the E36 body shell, the design team put an emphasis on improving aerodynamics and increasing the car's aggressive stance.[6] [edit] Flexible electronics design Since the start of production the entire in-car entertainment system (Radio Function, Navigation System, Television and Telecommunications systems) is based on a very flexible automotive computer system.[7] As a result the E46 models can all be easily upgraded with the newest BMW technologies including BMW's Bluetooth System, the DVD based Navigation system, as well as BMW's CD changers that play MP3s[8] [edit] Powertrain and engine design An emphasis was put on reducing unsprung weight and increasing structural rigidity rather than increasing power output: the highest displacement model at release, the E46 328, had only 3 horsepower more than the E36 328.[9] To counter this small power increase, the body shell of the E46 was claimed by BMW to be 70% more rigid than the E36's,[9] and aluminum suspension components were used increasingly in order to decrease unsprung weight.[9] In tune with BMW's core values,[10] the E46 was released with a front engined rear-wheel drive layout with 50/50 weight distribution.[9][11] This balance allows for optimal handling in regards to the drive train layout.

Along with the 316, the 318 received an updated engine in 2001: the 2.0 L BMW N42. It produced 143 hp (107 kW) and 200 N·m (148 ft·lbf).[18] The 318 was not released into the United States market.[9] [edit] 320 Sold in Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom, it was the base model the E46 lineup there, powered by a 2.2-litre inline six making 168 horsepower. It would be succeeded by the 323i (another Canada-only configuration) in the succeeding E90 lineup.[19] [edit] 323 The 323 was one of the first E46 models available for purchase, 1998 for the sedan (excluding North American markets) and 1999 for the coupe (and sedan in North American markets). It was powered by BMW's 2.5 L M52 engine designated M52TUB25.[18] The M52 engine was previously used in the E36; however, this 2.5 L version added dual VANOS, BMW's mechanically continuous variable valve timing system. This improved low end torque and fuel economy over the M52B25 used in the E36 323. The E46 323, despite having a 2.5L engine, was designated "323" and not "325", to increase the apparent spread between it and the correctly-numbered 328 to appeal to BMW enthusiasts. The 323 ended its run after 2000,[18] when it was then retired to make way for the updated E46 325. [edit] 328 The 328 was released alongside the 323 as a high-performance option, still using the BMW M52 engine. The E46 328 and 323 ended their production runs after three model years (1998–2000) when it was succeeded by the 330 and 325, respectively. [edit] 325 The 325 took over from the market position of the 323 and uses the same 2.5 L I6 engine, however the 325's engine has improved double-VANOS and fully dual pipe exhaust system. The European version makes 192 hp (143 kW), while the U.S./Canadian version had a catalytic converter installed which reduces the output to 184 hp (137 kW) . [edit] 330 The 330 succeeded the 328 as the top-performing E46 (excluding the M3), with the M54B30 making 231 PS (170 kW; 228 bhp) and 214 ft·lbf (290 N·m), while the performance package (ZHP) version had an output of 235 bhp (175 kW; 238 PS) and 222 ft·lbf (301 N·m). [edit] Trim levels [edit] United States market [edit] Premium package (ZPP) The premium package has been available on all 3-series cars. It typically included: Different wheels and tires [if ordered with the sport package, the sport package's wheels and tires are supplied] A multifunction steering wheel [IF it was not already standard on the vehicle] Wood grain interior trim [if ordered with the sport package, the premium package wood is typically installed, unless specifically requested otherwise] Rain-sensing windshield wipers (became standard equipment in 2004) Auto-dimming rear-view mirror Power seats Lumbar Support (not available on the 325) Moonroof (note: moonroof can also be ordered separately) [edit] Sport package (ZSP) The sport package was available on all E46's, excluding cars with the Performance package and the M3. It consisted of a three spoke sports leather steering wheel and had improved grip over the standard "square" steering wheel. The car was also given sport seats which provided better bolstering and support than the stock seats. They also had adjustable thigh supports and were available in manual or power. The sports package also offered 17 inch wheels standard, which came with staggered lower profile tires. Sport suspension was also given, which offered improved handling by way of firmer springs, a lower ride height, and tighter dampers. [edit] Cold weather package (ZCW) The cold weather package has been available on all 3-series and M3 cars. It typically included: Pass-through ski bag Heated seats Headlight washers Fold down rear seats [edit] Performance package (ZHP) 2005 BMW 330Ci ZHP 2004 BMW 330CI Silver Grey Metallic The performance package was an option given to E46 sedans from 2003 to 2005 and coupes from 2004-2006.[20] It included various aesthetic changes over the regular 3 series, as well as functional and mechanical enhancements. It had M badges on each of its Style 135 wheels, with additional M badging on the multi-function steering wheel and atop the 6-speed short throw weighted shifter. In addition to the standard color options, the ZHP was available in the "Motorsport-only" colors Silverstone Grey, Mystic Blue and Imola Red. It received the "M-Tech II" bodykit standard, 18-inch staggered Style 135 wheels, high gloss anthracite window trim, and the coupe received clear turn signals (headlights, side-markers, and tail-lights) instead of the amber turn signals found on the standard 330Ci.[20] The interior had also been modified with half cloth-half alcantara sports seats (optional upgrade to leather), an alcantara-wrapped sports steering wheel (switched to perforated leather in mid-2005), a shorter M-badged shift knob, anthracite colored cloth headliner, and aluminum "cubed" faux-carbon fiber interior trim (available in silver or black). The instrument gauge cluster was also modified with red needles and polished metal trim rings.[21] In the performance department, the ZHP was equipped with the more aggressive BMW Performance camshafts and a DME tune to increase power from 225 hp (168 kW) to 235 hp (175 kW).[20] The engine redline was also raised from 6,500 rpm to 6,800 rpm to further take advantage of the new power band and higher power output achieved by the new camshafts at higher RPMs.[21] As a result of the higher redline, the nut that fastens the oil pump's sprocket came with threadlocker pre-applied from the factory to keep the nut from falling off.[22] The car also received a shorter final drive ratio which allows for faster acceleration; 3.07 vs. 2.93 for manuals and 3.64 vs. 3.38 for the automatic.[21] Car and Driver magazine track-tested the car, which returned a 0-60 mph time of 5.6 seconds and passed through the 1/4 mile in 14.3 seconds.[21] In 2003 the ZHP was the only non-M 3-series to feature a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission (the Steptronic automatic transmission was not available the first model year (2003), but it was offered from 2004-2006. Suspension was modified over the standard suspension with firmer springs and dampers, larger anti-roll bars, stronger front control arm ball joints, a lower ride height, and slightly more negative camber.[21] The Style 135 wheels also came equipped with the much stickier compound, Michelin Pilot Sport tires, in a staggered configuration with 225/40-18 tires in the front and 255/35-18 tires in the back.[21] [edit] Rest of world markets [edit] ES The ES trim level was the base level available for the European E46s from 2003. It included various safety features as standard equipment, such as anti-lock brakes, 6 airbags, dynamic stability control, and a factory installed alarm which were not common as standard features when the E46 was released.[23] Comfort items such as heated and electric mirrors were also fitted standard.[23] The ES trim did not include cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel (MFSW), leather steering wheel or gearknob, although these were offered as "at-cost" options.[23] [edit] SE The SE trim level included the options the ES trim level was given, but added cruise control as part of the multi-function steering wheel, headlight washers, parking sensors, leather steering wheel and gearknob.[23] It was the mid-range trim level that offered luxury items, but lacked the sporting items the M Sport and M Clubsport trim levels had, although the drivetrains of both SE and M Sport models were identical. [edit] Sport / M Sport The Sport (later M Sport) trim level included the options given on the ES and SE trim levels, but had additional performance-orientated items added. It came with the "M-tech" I or II bodykits (depending on when the car was ordered), half leather-half alcantara sports seats, sports suspension (comprising stiffer springs, dampers, and altered suspension geometry), gloss black external trim instead of the chrome trim of the SE, sports steering wheel and 17" lightweight style 68 alloy wheels.[23] The drivetrain of Sport / M-Sport models is identical to that of base / ES / SE variants. [edit] M Clubsport A 330Ci M Clubsport The M Clubsport trim level is aesthetically similar to the United States Performance Package.[23] The main difference is that the M Clubsport trim was not given the BMW performance camshafts that the ZHP obtained. Instead, it had 20 kilograms (44 lb) of sound deadening removed from the car. The M Clubsport trim shares the same suspension set up as the performance package (ZHP) in America, as well as the "cubed" interior trim and 18 inch style 135 wheels.[24] However, changes from the ZHP include plastic front splitters on the M-Tech II bumper, a M-tech II styled rear spoiler (instead of the M3 trunk lip), and clubsport door sills.[24] The M Clubsport also came with two "BMW Individual" colour options that were carried throughout the car, Estoril Blue and Velvet Blue.[24] Unlike the other trim levels, the M Clubsport trim was only available on the 330.[23] [edit] Luxury package This Canadian-only package offered the same options as the United States premium package. [edit] Model nomenclature [edit] "i" The "i" badging indicates that the car has a fuel injection engine (Petrol) which first appeared in the E21 & E30 models. [edit] "xi" With the introduction of the xi models in 2001, BMW brought back AWD which hadn't been an option in the 3-series since 1991 when the E30 325iX was discontinued. BMW produced the 325xi and 330xi in the US between 2001–2005, but only in Sedan (4-door) trim. The AWD models were well received by reviewers for giving customers in severe winter climates the option of an AWD 3-series. At the same time, the xi was criticized for its added weight, slower acceleration, decreased gas mileage, softer suspension, and poor original equipment tires.[25][26] The transfer case used in all BMW E46 xi models is manufactured by New Venture Gear, Inc., which is owned by Magna Powertrain. The NV 124 transfer case used in the E46 xi models is a full-time four-wheel-drive gear driven transfer case.[27] The xi models have a permanent front/rear 38:62 torque split which differs from the E46's successor, the E9X, which incorporated BMW's new xDrive platform. Both the front and rear differentials in the E46 xi are open differentials which are aided by DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) to control wheel spin and oversteer/understeer. The xi models were only produced in left-hand drive, and as such were not sold in RHD markets such as the United Kingdom. [edit] "d" The "d" indicates that the car has a diesel powered engine. [edit] "Ci" The "Ci" indicates that the car is a coupe with a petrol powered engine. [edit] "Cd" The "Cd" indicates that the car is a coupe with a diesel powered engine. [edit] "Cic" The "Cic" indicates that the car is a 2 door convertible with a petrol powered engine. These cars were badged Ci. [edit] "iT" The "T" in "iT" stands for "Touring", the BMW nomenclature for a 4 door wagon. It has a petrol powered engine. These cars are just badged as "i". [edit] "ti" The 'ti' badge on the E46 Compact stands for 'Touring International' This harks back to the BMW 2002 tii touring. [edit] "td" The 'td' badge indicates a Compact powered by a diesel engine (a variation of the ti badge for petrol-engined variants) [edit] Changes by Model Year [edit] Mid-year 1998 (MY 99) 316, 318, 320, 323, and 328 sedans are released to worldwide markets, designated "i"(excluding the US). [edit] 1999 323 and 328 E46 Sedans introduced in the US (The 316 to 320 models were not released in the US to the general public at any point). E46 Coupe is launched into worldwide markets, designated "Ci" (excluding the US). E46 Touring is launched into worldwide markets, designated "iT" (excluding the US). [edit] 2000 E46 Coupe is launched into the US. E46 Touring is launched into the US. Dynamic Stability Control replaces Automatic Stability Control. Auto Recirculation becomes standard. The 323 has 15" Alloy wheels standard (replacing hub caps for no-option package 323s). The Premium Package has wood trim and moonroof standard, with 16" wheels only (no more 15" offered). The 323 gets the Sport/Premium combo package offered. Power seats are a stand-alone option on 323. [edit] Mid-year 2000 (9/99) Power seats with driver's seat memory upgraded to include exterior mirror memory. Radio has clock function; as a result, an onboard computer function and the time can be displayed at the same time. Child seat tether anchorages added as standard equipment. Center console buttons redesigned. New key design Automatic transmission changes to Steptronic [edit] 2001 323i is replaced by the 325i and receives the new M54B25 engine 328i is replaced by the 330i and receives the new M54B30 engine New sport steering wheel with circular airbag cover. New dual exhaust from headers to muffler. 325i sports package gets 17x8 style 44 wheels. 330: 17" rims are standard 330: Sports package rims are changed to syle M68 with 17x7.5 up front and 17x8.5 in the rear. 330: Brakes are 1" larger 330: Headlight washer jets standard on cold-weather package 330: Silver trim around headlights 330: "Updated" steering (more power assist) Coupes get titanium front spoiler trim. [edit] Mid-year 2001 (3/01) 325i and 325iT: New standard equipment: foglights, cruise control, & automatic climate control 325Ci and 325Cic: New standard equipment: automatic Climate Control 330: Due to customer feedback, there was a midyear change back to a steering system with less boost, although more than 323s and 328s had. BMW offered a free "steering retrofit" to reduce the boost for some time. You now must pay for this retrofit. This only affected 2001 cars. 330i: New standard equipment: power Seats, Harman Kardon stereo, & sport suspension 330Ci & 330Cic: New standard equipment: Harman Kardon stereo [edit] 2002 NAV systems now have a widescreen 16x9 display.

[edit] SULEV BMW introduced a super ultra low emission vehicle (SULEV) into the select regions of the United States to meet stricter emission standards. California, New York, and Massachusetts received the SULEV E46's in 2003, and Vermont in 2004.[28] They received a variant of the M54 engine, the BMW M56.[28] The M56 meets SULEV standards, as well as partial zero emission vehicle (PZEV) and zero evaporative emissions requirements.[28] The M56 is claimed to have identical power as its M54 counterpart.[28] Information sticker on the SULEV radiator Engine bay of a 2004 325i SULEV [edit] M3 [edit] CSL A silver BMW M3 CSL. The BMW M3 CSL (coupe sports lightweight)[29] was a limited edition version of the M3, with 1,400 cars being produced for its 2004 model year run.[30] The CSL was never released into the North American market,[31] and was only available in two colours - Silver Grey Metallic and Black Sapphire Metallic.[32] As its name suggests, an emphasis was put on reducing weight. The M3 CSL has a kerb weight of 1,385 kg (3,050 lb), 110 kg (240 lb) lighter than the regular M3.[33][34][35] The CSL features many weight saving technologies taken from Formula One racing applications.[36] A large proportion of the M3's sound insulation has been removed, as have the power windows, electric seats, and navigation systems.[31] Air conditioning and stereo systems could be retrofitted free of cost, but were not available standard.[34] The CSL's unique body pieces are all crafted from carbon fiber reinforced polymer.[33] Glass-reinforced plastics are used throughout structural points in the car.[34] The rear glass window was replaced with lightweight plastic.[34] Although the CSL loses a considerable amount of kerb weight from its original version, the focus was put on strategically reducing or moving the weight in the car rather than the raw amount of weight that could be lost.[37] This is to retain the ideal 50:50 weight distribution characteristics the E46 has.[33] For example, the roof is constructed from carbon fiber reinforced plastic.[33] While this only reduces the kerb weight of the car by 7 kg (15 lb), it lowers the center of gravity of the car and decreases body flex.[32][37] A black M3 E46 CSL. In order to improve the handling ability of the car, the entire suspension system was further refined.[33] Specially developed racing springs and dampers are given to the CSL, and a tightened steering ratio (14.5:1 vs 15.4:1 on the regular M3) improves responsiveness.[36] The braking system is also modified, with larger front and rear floating rotors and calipers from the E39 M5.[31][32] The CSL is given a retuned dynamic stability control system with a "M track mode" setting that allows the car to be pushed to its absolute limits before being activated.[36] The 3.2l engine used in the M3, the BMW S54, has been modified to increased output by 17 hp (13 kW) and 5 N·m (1 lbf) over the European M3.[32][36] This is achieved through a high flow carbon fiber air intake, modified valve and camshaft timing, and a retuned DME.[32][36] However, the engine is further modified in order to reduce weight - it features a lightweight exhaust manifold and thinner exhaust piping.[36] Additionally, the intake and exhaust manifolds are slightly straightened to improve engine responsiveness.[31] The CSL also has various aesthetic modifications over the standard M3. It received an aerodynamic lightweight body kit which included carbon fiber front splitters that improved downforce at high speeds by 50%,[33] as well as a carbon fiber rear diffuser. The front bumper has a distinct hole that is used to draw cool air into the newly designed air intake.[33] The boot lid is redesigned to incorporate a raised lip, unlike the standard M3 where one is simply added on to a flat boot.[33] The CSL was sold with distinct 19 inch lightweight forged BBS alloy rims that came with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup semi-slick racing tires.[32][38] The interior of the CSL is redesigned with a sporty-weight saving theme. The CSL obtains fiberglass front racing bucket seats,[33] and fiberglass backed rear seats.[33] The center console, door panels and trim, and headliner are all formed from carbon fiber,[32][33] and the steering wheel is redesigned with cruise control, stereo, and phone controls removed to include just a single button that activates the M track mode.[32] The SMG II drivelogic semi-automatic transmission is a Getrag 6-speed conventional manual transmission, but with an electrohydraulically actuated clutch pedal, similar to an Formula One style transmission.[32] The regular M3 has the manual transmission as standard and the SMG II automated manual as an option, however the CSL is only offered with the SMG II and that unit also received a more advanced drivelogic unit that was capable of making shifts in 0.08 of a second.[32][36] [edit] North American competition package (ZCP) As the M3 CSL was not available to the North American markets, BMW released an optional "competition package" (option code ZCP) to fill the market void. It upgraded the normal M3 by way of 19 inch cast lightweight CSL style wheels, detuned CSL suspension components, a tighter steering ratio, and the CSLs brakes.[39] It also included a detuned version of the CSLs dynamic stability control.[39] [edit] Gallery Coupe Front Coupe Rear Sedan Front Sedan Front (Facelift) Sedan Rear (Facelift) Sedan ZHP (US) Cabriolet Touring Rear (Facelift) Compact Front Compact Rear Front M3 CSL Rear M3 CSL [edit] References ^ "Bavarian Auto Group".

The passengers and rear doors won't open on my car. The drivers door does open manually using the key. The car has not been used for a while and today I went to start it and found the battery was flat. I jump started it off another car and after about 10 minutes it started. What do you think is wrong with it? If its a fuse where is the fusebox on these cars? 10 months ago Report Abuse Additional Details Hi, to the BMW tech guy - no the inside door unlock does not work either most of the time. I have been told it is the relays in the general module? 10 months ago by Mark K-NI Member since: 08 December 2008 Total points: 1,769 (Level 3) Add Contact Block Best Answer - Chosen by Voters you mean they wont UNLOCK REMOTELY? lol the dead battery has erased the memory of the car, coded to the key. you need to pair the remote key to the car. I only know how to do the 'diamond' shape key if thats the one you have... get in, open and close the drivers door, put key in ignition turn 2 clicks and take back out again, within 5 seconds, hold the 'lock' button in the middle of the key and press the 'unlock' button 3 times, then let go. Quickly repeat the lock and unlock button sequence on the spare key. All doors should lock and then unlock when it has worked. If you don't have that kind of key.... im afraid you might have to google it lol. just for info.... the car charges the key while you drive, the fuse for that circuit will be in the boot, in the battery compartment 10 months ago Report Abuse 67% 2 Votes Action Bar: 0 stars - mark this as Interesting!

The fusebox by the way, is in the glovebox. Open the glovebox and look up, you will see 2 white tabs that have to be turned 1/4 turn each and the fuse panel will drop down.
