A few 4 cyl petrol E46 suffered with stretching timing chains, they came in for a retro fit vacuum sensor and programming to allow a new 'chain stretch check' in diagnosis. By pressing the brake pedal hard at idle three times the test module looked at the difference between crankshaft and camshaft signals to detect any delay caused by chain wear. If it was beyond a certain point a manual wear test was then required.
It was the later diesel N47 engines that suffered the much worse problems
Six cylinder BMW's are the ones to get the four cylinder engines over the past fifteen years have suffered reliability problems.

Folding mirrors button, provided they are folding mirrors and someone hasn't fitted the wrong switch :), the sliding switch switches between control of left and right mirror, also if the switch is set to control the right mirror the left mirror will dip when you select reverse or vice versa :)

The recall was done here, twice on some models first drivers airbag then passenger air bag, most were straight swap, the second wave had a much lower percentage change rate as only one batch was effected, we had to remove and check the numbers on the label and only change defective ones.

Vortex type is the later one and fit and forget, the filter type needs changing every service really or they clog up and cause over pressuring of the crank case system and turbo damage.

The pipe has probably fallen off the jet, remove the inner hatch trims to access the spoiler securing bolts, remove the spoiler but only enough to lift it up that corner as there are wires attached for the third brake light. refit it and add some tape around it for extra security.
