Re: E46 B3S Suspension - Still Available?

Re: E46 headlights condesnsating.....
Surprised you couldn't get the lenses - I picked up a pair from BMW Swindon earlier this year.
I guess stuff is slowly going out of stock!
FYI, I fitted new lenses and seals and still have condensation

Re: Gauge cluster repair recommendation
Belated update for anyone who runs into E46 gauge cluster problems. Short version, I removed the cluster and took it to Cartronix in Waterlooville. Waited about 90 mins, paid £175, and took it away fixed. Longer version, I had hoped it was the motor driving the gauge, so I paid £20 for an eBay clust...

Re: E46 B3 front dampers
Thanks for the replies. I've not had a reply from Alpina, hence my original post.
Frank at FMW doesn't have any information on availability either.
In the meantime I'll try and use a Sachs MSport II equivalent, and if I get news I shall update the thread.

E46 B3 front dampers
So, mine are leaking….. BMW tell me replacement Alpina Sachs dampers are NLA. I emailed Alpina directly to confirm, but got no reply. Therefore I think I have a couple of options: 1. Stick some boggo Sachs dampers on and hope OE replacements become available - M Sport II equivalent? 2. Just put some...

Re: Brake dust shields
I’m planning on replacing the rears on my E46 B3, but it looks like the hubs have to come off, so saving it for a combined driveshaft cleanup, wheel bearing replacement session.

Can anyone confirm the part number for a water pump E46 B3?

Gauge cluster repair recommendation
My coolant temperature indicator has packed up. Definitely the instrument and not the sender.
I see plenty of places offering repair, but does anyone have experience with someone they would recommend?
