BMW E46 M3 DIFFERENTIAL LOOSE THREAD FIX!

Hello everyone!

I made a DIY video fixing my Rear Diff knocking issue, at first I thought it was the Diff Front Bushing and I replaced it, but issue insisted, and it turned out the bolt was stripped from the hole.

I fixed the threads, and same issue. So I ordered the Roque Engineering repair kit and did the fix.

In this video, I show you step-by-step how I repaired the stripped/loose differential mounting threads on my BMW E46 M3 using the Rogue Engineering Differential Bushing V2.0 Front Position FIX.

Instead of simply replacing the bolt, this repair upgrades the original mounting setup by re-tapping the differential housing from M14 to M16 and installing the Rogue Engineering upgraded bushing and M16 Grade 12.9 bolt.

I go through the entire process from beginning to end without skipping steps, including removing the differential, preparing the damaged mounting hole, drilling, tapping the new M16 threads, installing the upgraded bushing and bolt, and putting everything back together.

I just changed my passenger side Window Regular and made a How-To video on it!

Here is the link to the video:

It was pretty much straight forward, other than the adjustment toward the end, it took me a bit to understand what each screw does but I covered it all in the video.

Let me know if you guys have any questions on it, and if you enjoyed the video, please make sure to subscribe and like the video! :)

Swapped my BMW E46 M3 from SMG to Manual!

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to share the process of swapping my E46 M3 from SMG to Manual, I made a whole video showing everything step by step!

I went with the AMS AutoGroup Kit, honestly it was pretty awesome and smooth with me sending the bell housing for machining with them and back.

Let me know if you guys have any questions on the swap, I knew I had plenty before I pulled the trigger on mine.

and if you guys like the video then please subscribe :) I always post BMW contents and DIY videos!
