AIR BAGS
DRIVING DOWN STRAIGHT ROAD AND HAD TO SWERVE RIGHT TO AVOID ANIMAL THAT RAN SUDDENLY INTO ROAD. ROAD HAD NO RUN-OFF BEFORE STEEP ROCKY DROP TO DITCH 1-2 FT BELOW. RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE TIRES BARELY GOT INTO ROCKS, WHICH BENT BOTH RIGHT SIDE RIMS AND PUNCTURED RIGHT SIDE REAR TIRE. BOTTOM OF CAR BOTTOMED OUT ON EDGE OF ROAD WITH HEAVY BUMP, WHICH SOMEHOW CAUSED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AIRBAG AND DRIVERS SIDE HEAD PROTECTION AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR BACK UP ON ROAD AFTER ROCKY AREA LEVELED BACK UP TO ROAD EDGE. I GOT OUT AND INSPECTED - REAR BUMPER BOTTOM WAS TORN FROM SLIDING ON EDGE OF ROAD, PREVIOUSLY SAID TIRE DAMAGE WAS SEEN. SEEMED TO BE FAIRLY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE ACTUAL CAR, FRONT BUMPER ONLY HAS DIRT AND NO DAMAGE. THIS WAS AN IMPACT HARD ENOUGH TO BEND RIMS, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS THE IMPACT WAS FROM BELOW THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON ALL E46 330 M54 ENGINES WITH THE ZHP(PERFORMANCE PACKAGE) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO BMW NA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AT 2000 - 3000 RPMS THE ENGINE RATTLES LIKE A COFFEE CAN FULL OF MARBLES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BMW BUT THEY STATED THAT THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL. BMW IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE DUAL VANOS UNIT THEY PUT INTO THE M54 ENGINE IS USING BELRIN BUSHINGS AND THEY ARE FAILING. THERE IS A COMPANY CALLED DR. VANOS THAT FIXES THIS ISSUE BY REBUILDING THE OEM VANOS WITH UPGRADED BUSHINGS. THIS UNIT COST $500, WHICH I AM NOT WILLING TO SPEND AS I HAVE A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM BMW. *TR
