    From HonestJohn.co.uk
    Recalls
    1999 (E46 from April 1998): safety recall over failure of brake pedal clip which can allow the pedal to become disconnected, and over-sensitive side airbag trigger switches. 15/12/1999: (E46 built Sept/Oct 1999): brake light switch may fail leading to brake lights flickering or failing and switch overheating. New switches to be fitted. 1/8/2001: 1659 E46s built 1/2/2001 - 18/5/2001 recalled because fault with radiator fan motor could lead electrics to overload and fan motor to fail. 3/11/2000: 887 E46 models with alloy wheels built 4/9/2000 - 7/10/2000 recalled because inside rims of wheel could have been damaged when tyres were fitted. 9/11/2001: Cars built 28/9/2001 to 24/10/2001 with Continental tyres may have cuts in the tyres which can lead to blowouts. w/e 23/2/2002: recall in Germany for all models fitted with Conti Eco Contact and Sport Contact 205/55 R16 and 225/55 R16 tyres due to a pressure problem. April 2004: Letter sent to owners of 320 diesels stating, "increased wear may occur on the fuel pump and the fuel filter may become blocked over a prolonged period of time." Fuel pre-delivery pump and fuel filter to be changed. August 2004 (service number E46 S54) on M3s involved the replacement of the big end bearing shells and replacement of the oil pump with an uprated one. Apparently prompted by owners of pre 2004 M3s removing the 250kmh limiter and maxing the car.

    Fopr safety reasons all recalls have to be listed on this UK govt site. Typical that we don't have something similar.
