Common problems and easy repairs on a 2002 325i

The 2002 BMW 325i is an easy car to maintain. The tail lights in both housings are easy to access, requiring only a rivet popper to remove which allows for reliable bulb changes. The spare tire and jack kit are quick to find and easy to remove, so fixing a flat shouldn’t be a problem. The engine air filter is also easy to access, as no tools are needed to disengage its housing to access the filter itself.

However, the 2002 BMW 325i has its downsides, primarily with its headlights. For the highbeam on the driver side the entire air filter housing will need to be removed for access, which can be problematic to navigate around. The screw that secures the turn signal housing is hard to reach and won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Also, the wheel well lining needs to be removed for access to the fog light.
