The coverage from the dealer has expired for the free inspection and fix. The VANOS bolts coming loose is also another problem with these. I miss that raw high revving inline 6. The m3forums have plenty of info. here are a few pictures of mine. Only problem I had was a bad O2 sensor. I also did Inspection II which involved the valve adjustment which was fun to do.

It looks like you had the same car as me! I love the CB.
Very nice. Subframe is good and my warranty covers it and the VANOS system. I joined the M3Forums and E46 Fanatics too
They seem to be pretty reliable if you keep up with maintenance. The car is so damn solid feeling.
I'd like to try the valve adjustment myself with the BMW kit. I think it'd be a fun project to tackle.
