Thanks for the reply,where is it located?
Re: Engine fail safe prog
Loads of info on Google. I typed in your error code and there was loads of E39 and E46 posts with the 3.0i engine having the same problem.
I've just bought another 3.0i so hoping I don't get the same problem at some time on the 3 series.
Interesting read, concerning your error code/ problem
