Don't forget jumping sharks. And any other Fonzarelli related activities.

2004 325xi was my first car. Still got it 6 years later.

Just take care of it. Read the forums and what not. Don't do anything stupid.

Tip #1 - wash by hand and not through any automated car wash.
Tip #2 - learn the two bucket wash method
Tip #3 - evolve into a rinseless wash between two bucket washes
Tip #4 - clay bar twice a year
Tip #5 - get a good wax
Tip #6 - get lots of microfiber towels

That's a good start

Preventative maintenance- filter changes (Oil, Fuel, Air, Transmission), fluid changes at an regular interval based upon how much you drive( includes oil, powersteering, differential, transmission, coolant)- make sure all the hoses are in good condition replaced if cracked. and maybe take a look at the coolant system bc these can be a failure in the e46

Apply a good wax and sealant to add shine and protection to the paint.
