My First E46!!!!

Hello All,

once again, thank you for all your help with my E36, but i sold that baby and upgraded to a E46. Its a 99 323i 5-speed with 100k miles.

The car is in great condition except for a few flaws and that is why i need the experts of UB to help me with.

1) when going from 1-15 mph, i hear this wierd grinding noises coming from the wheels, once above 20mph, the sound goes completely away and handles very well on the highway..but when pulling to a stop either with or without the breaks pushed i hear that sound...any suggestions?

2) I think i am going to need new tires soon, anyone have any suggestions, I have right now 205/55/16 bmw rims on it.

3) clutch is starting to slip...anywhere i can find a DIY clutch replacement guide for a E46?

Thanks guys!
