hairline crack explode and you could

hairline crack explode and you could have the same problem of overheating as

have the same problem of overheating as

have the same problem of overheating as in the thermosets so definitely

in the thermosets so definitely

in the thermosets so definitely something else to look out for is your

something else to look out for is your

something else to look out for is your expansion tank so your car does not die

expansion tank so your car does not die

expansion tank so your car does not die on you especially while you're driving

on you especially while you're driving

on you especially while you're driving really suck if the expansion tank

really suck if the expansion tank

really suck if the expansion tank explodes or gets a hairline crack while

explodes or gets a hairline crack while

explodes or gets a hairline crack while you're driving and you have to pull over

you're driving and you have to pull over

you're driving and you have to pull over and get your car towed it could end up

and get your car towed it could end up

and get your car towed it could end up for a bad day so definitely replace that

for a bad day so definitely replace that

for a bad day so definitely replace that make sure that it is good condition

make sure that it is good condition

make sure that it is good condition number three on my list of why your BMW

number three on my list of why your BMW

number three on my list of why your BMW condign is a very common reason why your

condign is a very common reason why your

condign is a very common reason why your car will die while driving is your fuel

car will die while driving is your fuel

car will die while driving is your fuel pump the fuel pump in the e46

pump the fuel pump in the e46

pump the fuel pump in the e46 has another I guess I'd call it design

has another I guess I'd call it design

has another I guess I'd call it design flaw where it actually uses the gasoline

flaw where it actually uses the gasoline

flaw where it actually uses the gasoline in the fuel tank

in the fuel tank

in the fuel tank to keep the fuel pump cold so a lot of

to keep the fuel pump cold so a lot of

to keep the fuel pump cold so a lot of the times your car may die if it's under

the times your car may die if it's under

the times your car may die if it's under a quarter of a tank or may not even

a quarter of a tank or may not even

a quarter of a tank or may not even start if it's under a quarter of tank

start if it's under a quarter of tank

start if it's under a quarter of tank and that's because you're getting a soft

and that's because you're getting a soft

and that's because you're getting a soft fail failure of your of your fuel pump

fail failure of your of your fuel pump

fail failure of your of your fuel pump and this is a reason why your car could

and this is a reason why your car could

and this is a reason why your car could potentially die on you they usually go

potentially die on you they usually go

potentially die on you they usually go bad in all 46 especially at this age I

bad in all 46 especially at this age I

bad in all 46 especially at this age I definitely recommend replacing it with a

definitely recommend replacing it with a

definitely recommend replacing it with a new one so you don't have to deal with

new one so you don't have to deal with

new one so you don't have to deal with this problem because of the design that

this problem because of the design that

this problem because of the design that it uses it uses the gas to actually keep

it uses it uses the gas to actually keep

it uses it uses the gas to actually keep it lubricated and make sure that it's

it lubricated and make sure that it's

it lubricated and make sure that it's working correctly and obviously if you

working correctly and obviously if you

working correctly and obviously if you go below 1/4 of a tank there's not much

go below 1/4 of a tank there's not much

go below 1/4 of a tank there's not much gas work in the tank to lubricate the

gas work in the tank to lubricate the

gas work in the tank to lubricate the fuel pump moving on to number four now

fuel pump moving on to number four now

fuel pump moving on to number four now this one is kind of a tricky one it

this one is kind of a tricky one it

this one is kind of a tricky one it really is a tricky one and it's your

really is a tricky one and it's your

really is a tricky one and it's your it's your MAF sensor Matt actually had

it's your MAF sensor Matt actually had

it's your MAF sensor Matt actually had issues on his e46 with the MAF sensor we

issues on his e46 with the MAF sensor we

issues on his e46 with the MAF sensor we swapped it around with mine but um to

swapped it around with mine but um to

swapped it around with mine but um to see if it changed issues but the MAF

see if it changed issues but the MAF

see if it changed issues but the MAF sensor is definitely a tricky thing on

sensor is definitely a tricky thing on

sensor is definitely a tricky thing on this car and if you do need to replace

this car and if you do need to replace

this car and if you do need to replace this before I say anything about this

this before I say anything about this

this before I say anything about this failing if you need replaces use an OEM

failing if you need replaces use an OEM

failing if you need replaces use an OEM brand don't use any cheap Chinese or

brand don't use any cheap Chinese or

brand don't use any cheap Chinese or aftermarket parts because it will not

aftermarket parts because it will not

aftermarket parts because it will not start so what happens with this it can

start so what happens with this it can

start so what happens with this it can cause your car not to start it can die

cause your car not to start it can die

cause your car not to start it can die some failures won't even throw code so

some failures won't even throw code so

some failures won't even throw code so it's very hard to actually diagnose some

it's very hard to actually diagnose some

it's very hard to actually diagnose some some of these sometimes because it

some of these sometimes because it

some of these sometimes because it doesn't throw a failure I've seen weird

doesn't throw a failure I've seen weird

doesn't throw a failure I've seen weird issues basically if you hold your foot

issues basically if you hold your foot

issues basically if you hold your foot on the brake and the gas pedal it you

might just have to kind of do some inductive reasoning and bite the bullet

inductive reasoning and bite the bullet

inductive reasoning and bite the bullet and switch it out and see if that solves
