BMW calls the M3 E46 back

[Gast RolandK]

Two days ago I got a letter from BMW saying that I should bring my M3 to them to fix two important issues.

1. They recognized a problem with the handbrake. Under unexpected conditions the handbrake could block the wheels. So they changed some parts of this brake.

2. Furthermore they wrote me that the 40w engine oil they fill into M3s is not enough for this engine. They found out that the M3 technologie requires a better 60w engine oil. So they did an unscheduled oil service as well.

I don't know why they found out these important problems so late.

This info is for all M3 owners haven't got this letter yet. Please bring your M3 to the service to fix these issues. It's important for your engine.

I'm wondering the same thing. Shouldn't testing the oils be part of the Research and Development?

It's good that the problems aren't major enough to end up hurting a the driver while driving.

Yes, as stupid as in the last Formula 1 race as they forgot the jacks under the car. :grin: :grin:
