E46 is a great car, especially if you enjoy maintaining it yourself. If you're one of those people who who know nothing about cars or don't want to ever check oil levels or do anything other than bring it to a garage once a year for MOT and oil change, this is not the car for you.

You forgot to mention this, have your VIN, call your BMW dealer and give them your VIN so they can see if front driver and passenger airbags are changed or not because E46-E39 cars are affected by this. The airbag company TAKATA had factory fault/design with shoot metal pieces to the driver’s and passenger’s face when activated. Instant 200km/h straight to your face. Keep doing videos

what MAF sensor does your car use, my 330ci used BREMI brand as that was the original OE when it was bought new. but i heard other 330ci also use seimens/VDO MAFS to, i think these car depending on the year manufacture date use specific MAF sensors. also 325ci and 330ci can not use same maf, they are not interchangeable due to different motor setup.
