330Ci Coolant system

If there is anyone familiar with the e46 330Ci could I ask abit of advice? I'm following the bmw330Ci.net write up on the coolant system overhaul. I remember the bloke drain plug is impossible to get to though. The exhaust gets in the way. Do I really need to drain the block? If so how do I get to it?

Sump off

If I had the sump off the engine would it damage anything to start the car for 5-10 seconds? Maybe a very daft question! :o: Got a rattle I think maybe coming from the crank and want to see if it is

I have a set of springs with serial numbers printed on them quite clearly. They are made by Apex. Fronts read - 20-10351 VA45/03. Rears 20-10352 HA 45/03.

E46 shocks

Replacing my front suspension with some 2nd hand parts. If my 2000 330Ci has sport suspension will a M-tech shocks and springs etc from a 2001 330Ci fit?

My RH FR strut reads

82.4903.556 618
31.31-96.856
6Z SPORT


Does that make my part number 556 618?

E46 330 problem!

I was driving through town yesterday all was fine then as a pressed the clutch pedal in to change gear it started to make a loud grinding sound at the end of the pedal movement. I have figured out that something is touching the flywheel. It still changes gear ok aslong as I dont use the full movemen...
