r/E46M3

Does anyone have rear/front break calipers they don’t need for their m3? I’m going back to OEM. This RB BBK isn’t really for me and I’d rather go back to OEM. Or should I just rebuild them and keep them?

Great design 👍🏻

I was changing out my fuel pump today and this wire was under the back seat, any ideas what it goes to?

Almost 2k miles from Boston to Skyline Dr, the Dragon, and back. Less than 300 miles from home in Jersey, stopped for gas and traffic stopped to let me out. Jetta came around in a turn only lane doing ~40 and smoked the left front corner. 2 feet further back and I’m not sure I’d be going back to tell my wife I love her tonight. Let those S54s sing in my honor today boys, she was a good one 🥲

Fabricating car parts has been my favorite part of this entire process. Pdx vert inspired me to start thinking outside the box and the traditional norms.

Bought this from an auction and since it was in South Carolina and I live in Texas, Tail of the Dragon was pretty much on the way home. 165k miles and still runs amazingly well, thanks to the 12 previous owners. My other fun car is a 992.2 GT3 and this gives almost as many smiles. Typing this out and yes, I realize how crazy this is.

I just received my CSL vacuum line from Turner and they packaged it the worst way possible. After taking the rubber band off it laid out straight but l don't want it to fail prematurely. It's not a rubber line but more of a hard plastic which is what's concerning me.

Looking for pricing advice on my 2012 BMW M3 Competition Package.
Details:
2012 BMW M3 Coupe
Competition Package (ZCP)
DCT transmission
55,000 miles
Alpine White
Clean title
Stock (or list mods if any)
Located in New York
The car is in very good condition inside and out and has been well maintained.
What do you think is a realistic asking price in today’s market? I want to price it fairly but also not leave money on the table.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I posted in this sub a few months ago when I was debating selling my F87 for an E46 M3 and committing to the life… Didn’t take me much to be convinced.

This is my Oxford Green E46 M3. It is a factory manual and also, a slicktop 👌

Oxford green was my dream color but given very few came to the US, I didn’t think I had any chance of getting one. Couldn’t even imagine finding a car like this.

Went way over budget but it is the perfect car for me. Not a collectors car, 100% mechanically sorted, and it will be used as it was made to be. (6weeks and I put 3k miles on it).

Modifications:
I put it on Ohlins and gave it a dinan cold air intake to hold me over till I go carbon airbox. Factory Style 67s, 15mm spacers all around. Keeping it “OEM”… for now

No pictures do this color justice, but if you want to see me try and figure it out, i’ll be sharing the journey as much as i can @mariim0o

Got to tow the M to NJMP for NASA’s June Jam event- as much as I love cruising in the M, the creature comfort in my tow vehicle for the long hauls beat out the rattles and NVH lol

It’s starting to heat up, summer’s here. Ambient temp was around 90, oil temp hovered around 260 according to dash gauge. Plan is to tap into CAN for digital logging via AIM. Heat soak is real in summer months with OEM setup. Considering the Rogue/CSF oil cooler and oil diverter valve (and maybe IAT reloc) to address heat mgmt.
