BMW E46 330 Ci Clubsport - Replacing the anti-roll bar links (droplinks) - How to
BMW E46 330Ci Clubsport - How to replace droplinks / anti-roll bar links / stabilizer links.
After an MOT advisory, I decided to replace both anti-roll bar links (stabilizer links / droplinks).
This video shows how I did it and the steps taken. Hopefully, this will inspire other BMW E46 owners to tackle the job themselves and save a lot of money.
My only outlay was the thin 3mm spanners from Amazon (£24.99)
and the anti-roll bar links themselves (£40). The rest I had.

Long time no video's everything ok my friend?
Hopefully I can do some soon. Thanks for asking.
Whats the down string for??
Any new vids planned?
Can you do that tu angel tu from
I know this video is 5 years old but are the b12 sportlines height adjustable ?
Hi. No, not adjustable. With the stance it has, I find it's just where I like it to be though.
hello do you have a working link plz as the one you have up is not working many thank also I am in the UK
No, sorry. if the original link isn't working, I'd have to search as much as the next person for them again.
Thank you! Just did this today. Took about an hour to do. Trick with the key lock, is to remove the lock from the outside first by loosening a bolt hidden under the rubber upper corner trim.
Good video, I’m just about to tackle my cab passenger door… very helpful. Pretty sure bmw weren’t smart enough to think Of the window trick when building these 😂
When installing this radio did you run the 5m cable from the boot to the back of the radio ?… ive read some forums saying that the factory radio moduals go bad in the bm54 that can be found in our cars ,e39 and x5s … if you havnt the cable you need is called A0590 5.5m for the eonon
Yeah I did. My head unit is XTrons though not Eonon.
Im about to attempt this. Just wondering does the reverse torx bolt need to be removed/loosened or the window regulator arm wont move/jiggle without it? Asking because i dont have the reverse torx socket
I don't remember now :( I'm about to do the other side as that one has gone now. I might video that one too.
Thank you so much for the hint to pull up on the window frame, I couldn’t have done this without that hint!
Take off the m Badge it’s not an m it’s club sport 1 of a kind looks silly 😂
This video is great. Just did my passenger door on my 2004 330ci
Thanks and subbed How did you get thr front plinth off. I undid the three screws but there was a big hook into the bunper underneath that i found challenging to unlatch.
I never took that off..
very good tools you give me a good idea. thanks you men👌👌👏👏
doing exactly this in a couple of weeks. The drop is what worries me but since I had the sports package, it was already lower a bit, I think I won't really notice any difference (maybe 1.5mm like you said, which is not really noticeable). Thanks for the video.
Hi, I have the exact same car to you. Looking to upgrade my lightbulbs. Unfortunately the side lights are out of stock in UK. Have you changed your xenon bulbs? If so, can you please confirm to which ones? Also, have you changed your full beam?
Found the side light LED bulbs. Would be grateful to know Xenon bulb choice.
Hi. My Xenon bulbs are the standard one's from Halfords (UK). They were £70 each and put new one's in over 6 years ago and they're still going strong.
do they come with 9 Wires to have the power folding feature?
No, I don't believe mine did. I think some do though. Don't quote me on that though :)
How much km/miles did these shock last? Or are they still running fine?
Still running perfectly after 30,000 miles.
Old video, but may be worth a comment or two... Where is your battery charger? Don't use the alternator to charge a depleted battery. Either a CTEK MXS 5.0 or a Noco Genius 5 is a great investment. I leave my 2001 330xi plugged in to the CTEK when I'm not using the car (months at a time). If your going to put an aftermarket radio in a BMW I would stick to established reputable manufacturers. The Chinese stuff may look good on the surface, but is it really good? The UNI-T UT210E is a great amp clamp to diagnose parasitic draw with a resolution of 1mA.
Just bought a Clubsport, rebuilt from the ground up, It's a total beast, I love it.
She’s a keeper
Why don’t you check the fuse box in the front?
It' won't call it BMW without leak😀
Mine is totally leak free at the moment. :) After doing the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket, it's all good.
Wheres the video
Nice job Rusty, is very nice you have no more oil leak, I have lost already 750ml in oil from leaks, not much but is going almost everywhere. I am pleased at least I am not burning oil :)
If you do the jobs on yours, that I've done on mine, you should be leak free too. Did you see this one of mine where I did the oil filter housing gasket? th-cam.com/video/aIpQ0gj2GR0/w-d-xo.html
@@bimmerclubsport yeah I 've seen it long ago and "like" it but not comment on it.
Your license plate is 🔥
I know, right? :)
I can't thank you enough just replaced mine on the old 330Ci. All your tips helped out so much. I sadly broke several of the same white clips that you broke as well. Ill replace them next time..... haha 😆
Glad to have helped and happy you got yours sorted. I have to do my other door now :) So I'll be doing a video on that one too. Maybe I'll remove the window and regulator this time. We'll see. I also have a box of replacement clips :)
Hi did you ever figure out what exactly was up with the radio? Also worth mentioning that you should “lock” the latches on the door and boot so the car thinks that they are closed. Just remember to unlock them before shutting the door/boot!
Still not really tackled the radio yet. I did have the unit out a while ago to replace the cable for the rear camera but nothing so far on radio reception. I'm going to get a replacement antennae booster and see if that fixes it. If not, then I'll know to look elsewhere for the issue.
Hi,again hope the e46 still running well 😊 did you ever get to the bottom of this issue?
I’m looking at one of these as a “weekend car” the one in question has 150k miles velvet blue 2 owners from new with a full history and stacks of paperwork. Is there any specific things to look out for especially being a first time bmw owner! Love the look and idea of these and can definitely see them appreciating in the near future!
Full history counts for a lot. But obviously check for oil leaks and where they might by coming from. Common areas are valve cover (easy fix), oil filter housing gasket (medium fix), oil sump (more difficult fix as you need to drop the subframe). Also cooling, check for no cracks in the expansion tank. Has the Vanos been redone (that's a job you can do yourself if you're mechanically minded and you follow a good youtube video - I did mine). Tests you can do while there is to have the car running while it's warm. Remove the oil cap and if you hear a drop in idle speed or rough idle, then you have a blocked CCV valve or pipes - not a real big deal to sort out. If the idle remains the same, you're good on that one. Clubsports are generally cared for and if there are no lights on the dash either then all the better. Great engines the M54's. And yes they have appreciated over the last few years because the M3 E46's are appreciating. As long as the main engine is fine, the rest is sortable. And for parts, I can put you in contact with someone who can always be relied on.
@@bimmerclubsport great, thank you. It’s up for £4.5k needing an mot in a month seems like a good deal but will see if I can get money off given mot needed and a service for peace of mind. Seems to have a lot of recent work listed on the ad so should sail through a mot
@@darrenm7251 Sounds good. Or maybe ask them to put an MOT on it and pay the asking price. Up to you.
Did you ever have the problem of led side light bulbs staying slightly ON. After the cars turned off and key taken out. And light setting to off? I had this issue i think it's to do with the led bulb using too less wattage compared to filament bulb?
I only ever experience this when I used crappy LED's on my licence place lights. I ended up changing them back to the originals. If you get CANBUS error-free LED's, this problem should not occur.
the brightness is fine as long as you're happy
Love it, Brother! So does my Mechanic friend here! His name is Dayton. You'd like him! Be careful when revving those engines with automatic transmissions. They don't like it when you go over 2,000 RPM in park or neutral. Have a great day, Sir! o7
This car is a manual transmission :) Just the way I like 'em.
Glad you still have your club sport I still own my 2001 330ci sport I have the xenon’s with lunex 7000k bulbs they are very white but I’m using the blue side light bulbs 5w which have the yellowish tinge to them . I will be upgrading to these leds now . Thanks for the tip.
I'll stick with my current Xenon bulbs for now as they are not cheap to buy. And they've been going well for 4 years now.
Why you touching the window ahhhh
Don't understand the question.
At 0:41 tou closed the door with your fingers on the glass😉 Its a big no no
@@ivowiersma1465 Aah. I tend to leave go before it closes. But I'll be careful not to do it that way.
@@bimmerclubsport but you get the fingerprints on the window right, i cant stand that
@@ivowiersma1465 I have glass cleaner in the garage 😁
Not sure, but in some of the newer BMWs, you must register the new battery with the computer system otherwise it'll keep reading it as defective and not charge it completely. Also read that in some e46 models, the alternator will drain a battery if it's on it's way out.
Your a tinkler
Great video man but I believe you should first remove the window regulator completely so you could have more space
Hi mate , I need some help from you can you give me your Instagram or Facebook please 🙏
Awesome video! Did this job for the first time today, couldn't have done it without the guidance of this video. Appreciate it greatly.
Ever done the O2 Sensors (pre cat) on this motor? There's plenty of USA DIY videos on YT but they are in a different position to EU models.
I was going to replace one a few years ago but the sensor was rusted in so it never got done. It's working, thankfully, but if I ever need to replace it, it might need to be cut out or something. Taking it out risks breaking it.
@@bimmerclubsport Yeah, I've seen that they can be hard to get off. I've been putting mine off for 2 years, there is a tray covering the area and someone said you need to remove part of the exhaust to get to it. I don't know if that is true. I can't find much info online for UK 330ci (non Clubsport)
🤗 𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈M
Cats and cars, the best form of entertainment 👍😁. I recently had a leak on my Merc CLK320. Took ages to find, did all the usual gaskets. Turned out to be a core plug in the middle of the V on the block. Was on the oil gallery and had a small pin hole. Very satisfying to get it sorted.
When you sort it yourself, the satisfaction is worth it.
Glad to see your post pop up always enjoy your content.
nice kitty
BMW’s version of the rubiks cube 🤣 Great video, without it I definitely planned to removed the window. With this manual it is made in one hour. Thank you very much man!! Greetz from Munich
Yeah. Wish this video was out back then changing the door. Had to use the present gunky lock, and leave my old as I could never find out how get it out without remove the windowsm so I gave up. Cleaned and lubricated the new one instead. But it have alway worked since.
Just did this on my E46 M3, worked a charm following the instructions in this video. The part about pushing the window regulator up and forwards was the real key to getting actuator out and the new one in, was very easy once you did that.
Agreed. Good tip. Thanks for making the video.
beautiful clubsport 330ci - They are very rare to see here in Australia, good solid review/video
Thank you Rosche
@@bimmerclubsport im actually thinking about doing the same set up to my channels E46. Your review and video was of great help! Thanks mate
@@BMWarrior1 Yeah go for it. The ride will obvously be a little firmer and you'll feel the road bumps a bit more, but the handling difference is worth it for me.
