The 2004 model year

Overview

BMW's 2004 U.S. factory service roster again separates eighteen E46 applications. Each of six 325 body-and-drivetrain forms is cataloged with both the M54 and the fitment-distinct M56 SULEV engine. Four 330 configurations and the S54-powered M3 Coupe and Convertible complete the U.S. 3 Series roster; the separately listed Canadian 320i is not imported into this U.S.-market guide.

Year over year

What changed

  • The exact U.S. body, drivetrain, and engine-application roster carried forward from 2003.
  • The 330 family used a six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic, while M3 SMG II remained a transmission option.
  • The Canadian-market 320i appears in the source archive but is deliberately excluded from the U.S. roster.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • Eighteen U.S. applications preserve M54/M56 fitment without inventing package or transmission duplicates.
  • The source's Canadian 320i is retained as evidence of market scope, not mislabeled as a U.S. configuration.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Use the VIN to distinguish M54 from M56 SULEV before ordering emissions, sealed fuel-system, intake, engine-management, or related service parts.
  • Confirm xi all-wheel drive, exact body, engine tier, and transmission before ordering chassis, driveline, clutch, or gearbox components.

Maintenance & service parts

Keep your 2004 3 Series on the road

Start with the service interval, then match the engine or exact version you own. Order links appear only when a catalog-backed part number is available, and every listing still needs a fitment check.
