I've never heard of it on a UK car before, but it's certainly a known issue on the US 325i. Common would be the wrong word for it though, more of an issue on cars with track time.

Common problem. Look at this forum:

The problem is known on E46 produced before 02-2000 and BMW repair them for free. Wery few cars are affected by the problem and from 02-2000 the problem is solved.
