My E46 M3... Sold

[Shaheenem]

Hey guys

So recently acquired a 2004 E46 M3 Manual in Schwarz II
Needed a bit of TLC to get it back to showroom condition.
Recently replaced the following at my workshop but progress is slow as customers cars come first...

- New front discs and pads
- New OEM diff bush
- New clutch, release bearing, slave cylinder and pilot bearing
- New propshaft coupling
- Regassed the aircon
- Gearbox and diff oil replaced with OEM fluids
- Gearbox completely rebuilt with new seals
- Diff seals done using OEM parts
- New front left control arm fitted. Ball joint was in a bad condition
- Subframe inspected and no cracks at all
- New ZHP M5 weighted gearknob

On the engine front, she runs great. Previous owner had fitted a new crank, bearings, rings and the vanos rebuilt.

Some cosmetic stuff to sort out now. Steering wheel needs to be recovered, door seals need to be sorted (material seems to be pulling away from the rubber). Also, a bit of paint work / correction needs to be done.

Will update as I make progress. Some pics below. Not the best and she hasn't been washed in a while.

Congrats on the new ride and many happy and safe miles ahead.

Lots of maintenance done already. What’s the mileage on the car now?

well done  raise:since you replaced fluids might as well do powersteering as well, did mine last week

Thanks guys.

Yes, need to do the powersteering fluid and lines as they seem to be weeping a bit. Common issue on this platform though.

Thanks guys.

I must say, i have driven and tuned a number of these cars at my shop but she is definitely one of the strongest in terms of power for stock vehicle.
Stock exhaust, cats etc still in place. One of the reasons i bought this particular example. Really enjoying it thus far.

Will just need to make some time to get the little things sorted.
