Nick, we have hard water, really hard water. Our community services has 8 wells that provide us water. According to their most recent water quality report, the TDS for our water ranged from 350 to 700!
The roads are pretty clean where we live and I never used the E46 as a commuter. Plus, I never follow anyone at close distance. As I said earlier, the E46 has never once been driven in the rain or on a wet road. I seldom take the car out if the weather is over 90 degrees, but if I do I open the hood and put a 24 inch fan in front of it when I get back. I do this to preserve under hood plastics, wiring, hoses, etc. Little things like that add up over time.
