Friend of mine in India sent this link to the rollout of their new Tata
'Nano' a NEW car for $2700 ...Looks like a great commuter for when gas hits
$7 a gallon (like it is in UK right now !)

All the more reason to hang on to my M3 for as long as possible (until they
stop selling gas).

I'm sure it meets all of the European and US safety and emissions
regulations. I don' t think anyone is throwing away those rules
regardless of the price of gas.

Kazuto,
Thank you for the reply and the good info. I think the thermostat was indeed
broken before removal of the expansion tank so your tip to be careful upon
re-installation is excellent.
Now that I have inspected the new replacement thermostat it appears that I have
not fished all of the broken pieces out of the lower elbow. This is promising
as it appears I will not need to remove the transmission cooler from the
bracket to install the new 'stat.
I just hope the weather stays reasonable...it is always fun laying in a puddle
of coolant in freezing temperatures.

I can't be of complete help here, but I replaced the expansion tank on
my MT 01 325 last week, so I think I have some idea of what's going on
here.
I believe the answer here is yes. Judging by the way it appears the
ATF
heat exchanger mounts, and the text in the Bentley, the heat exchanger
can be disconnected from the bracket without breaking the ATF lines.
It
then appears on AT cars that the lower heater hose elbow is a separate
part from the bracket (this is part of the bracket on MT cars). Remove
the fan shroud (it sits over the top of the bracket over the top lip of
the radiator), one T25 screw partway down the side of the radiator, and
the bracket pulls straight up.
Sorry, I can't answer #1, though my mechanic warned me that this
thermostat is often destroyed during reinstallation of the expansion
tank.

Hi Kazuto,
Thanks ... good to know that there are plenty of self-diag in the airbag
system. Yeah, I have the round Sport Package terring wheel airbag.
I am going to talk to the service department and see what they
say ... thanks again.

I can't recall 100% which parts are where in the steering column, but if
replacing the clock spring didn't make the noise go away, it may be further
in the steering column.
Taking the bits apart to get to the clock spring area in a E46 is fairly
straightforward, though. And as long as the battery is disconnected and you
don't do anything stupid, you won't have any problems with the airbag going
off. There is a bit of a trick to getting the airbag itself out if it's one
of the round Sport Package ones, though.
In terms of being worried about it not going off after you button it back
up, there's enough self-diagnostics in the system that it'll tell you if you
forgot to hook something back up.
