Equipment and practical details
BMW 3-series · Generation 4, E46, facelift · Europe · 03.2003 - 06.2006. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.
- MacPherson front suspension
- For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
- Seat-position memory
- Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
