Csl trunk lid will change the looks completely. Dinan short shifter is a game changer. SS headers with a rogue entering anti rasp pipe with a Agency Power titanium v1 muffler screams. I miss my e46 M3.
@@jongararjorundsson3345 its not an e46 m3 if its not doesnt have that infamous rasp lol i have almost identical set up as urs i just went SS from headers back.
problem with Agency, Supersprint and other aftermarket exhaust is they're smaller. They don't fill up the void (like the more aerodynamic L-shaped factory exhaust). This causes parachuting effect and poor drag coefficient
Nothing like an E46 M3!! My husband and I got ours a few years ago. Not much done to it yet, just a new suspension but it has so much power. Excited to keep upgrading ours and will be following yours. My husband was also a Honda guy back in the day, now he’s all about BMW 🤣.
I currently have a b8.5 S4, e92 M3, and an e46 M3 and the e46 M3 is my favorite and it's not even close. I'd never get rid of it, the other two...I'd drop in a heartbeat.
Lovely cars dude and I have to agree. While the others are nice, something about the E46 that remains timeless. The prices are already starting to rise too and for me it will go down at one of if not the best BMW ever made. Biggest car regret I had was selling mine. I’ll need to get back in the game before the prices go skyward
I've got an 13 S4 which I enjoy but it's an appliance. Does everything well, a little too well. Recently got a 996 Carrera 2 which is so much more engaging to drive.
I am so excited for this, the E46 M3 is one of my favorites. My dad is the original owner of his 2002 Carbon Black E46 M3 6MT, and it just hit 39k miles!
Stunning car Matt. Exceptional example too and great colour. Man the E46 is without doubt one of the most timeless examples of automotive design both inside and out. It always looks so well proportioned, it sits so beautifully on the road with just a hint of rake. It’s strong, purposeful yet classy. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Will be watching this build with excitement. Kudos 👍🏼
Many congratulations Matt. One of the best cars BMW ever made. My 2005 e46 M3 has only 24k miles and all original. So happy for you and looking forward to seeing your future updates on the build. Cheers!!
That car is gorgeous. Brings back memories, I looked at them as well back in 05-06, just couldn’t swing that payment back then, excited to see the build!
It's fascinating to see the evolution of the M3. Whatever generation you're in, it was the best drivers car BMW could engineer at the time. Not everyone can say they've owned 4 generations.
Enjoyed this a lot! I bought an Alpine White over Cinnamon SMG brand new in 2002. I’ve never regretted anything about it. Still have it to this day and it’s an awesome Summer car. SMG too is a lot of fun. I have others that are rowers. I had to laugh at your comment about never having driven one. Me too. I’d never been in one either. In those years this was a frigging FAST car. And that engine noise was just the craziest thing I’d ever heard. Topless it and an Eisenman Titanium exhaust sounds like stereophonic heaven. And yeah that’s with the rasp;) Along those lines, I’d also never been in an E31 ever and bought a 94 850CSi this year lol. It does not disappoint. The only mod necessary has already been done and that’s a Dinan exhaust 👍
Easily my favourite too. I’ve had 5 E46’s in varies guises over the years and I always regret selling them no matter what car I am currently driving. I think it’s time for number 6
I always wanted an Alpine White E46 M3. I ended up with a Topaz Blue on e instead. I have been storing it for my son who receives his license this year. My car is Dinan modded and has about 80K on it now. I just detailed it and used Powerlock and Collinite on the exterior per your video. I cannot wait for the build. Thanks!
Great to see her safe arrival and your level of satisfaction with this beautiful E46. It has been great working with you Matt! We appreciate and share your attention to detail and look forward to the OG transformation. We are happy to offer any support along the way! Don’t hesitate to reach out if and when we can be of further service to you or this awesome Alpine White EAG E46 M3!
What a great car and can't wait to see where you take it. I had '04 carbon black one back in 2009 with a supercharger and BBS LM's which I still remember fondly to this day. I've seen some people suggest Supersprint as an exhaust and can also vouch for that. After a 5 exhausts that was also one I went with. Good luck with the build, I'll be sure to follow the journey with this one!
11:42 A man of culture. Modified cars is just the way of life. Especially on a gorgeous car like a BMW M car. They look nice, but there's room for making them even better. 😌 27:09 What a nice lady 😂
Keep it out of sport mode. All that does is change throttle sensitivity. Might be reason you say you were not shifting well. My exhaust recommendation Headers - Supersprint stepped Version 1 (this is the only option you should consider.) Section 1 - Supersprint Section 1 thats fits ssv1 with cats Section 2 - Leave stock Muffler - Supersprint Race(but this will be raspy so you may not like in which case I dont have a suggestion)
As a decade owner, with no budget I would: - CSL aribox (with H bridge DME) - CSL bumper, boot, diffuser - M track mode flash - CF Roof, like you plan - BBK - maybe F80? - Vincebar/CMP subframe. Plates aren;t enought. If you dont drive it much, not essential. But it WILL crack - CS Sportster seats - M performace knob (or zcp at worst) - VANOS lock down - Ohlins - 4.1 diff - Alcantara wheel - Secondary air pump delete - solid steering coupler - Dynavin / Bavsound (unless you go mental like you do) - Induktive charger / drink holder - gate lady wants the D
@The Mad Monk looooool, it's cool (and NFS MW was one of the favourite games of my childhood) but it's too much... OE+ is where it's at. Nice rims, slightly lower, carbon slicktop, CSL diffuser & trunk is all this thing needs, exterior-wise.
Congrats! Looking forward to this one! I've done countless mods to my E46 and a Turner CSL intake and AA tune is the single best thing I have done to the car.
Between Red and White, I take the White one in a heartbeat; yeah, I am with you on that one. Oh yeah, I am looking forward to seeing what changes you will make to this M3. I am one of those that think the E30M3 is the best M3; greetings from the Horn of Africa, regardless.
Agreed - the market today is just crazy. Seems like everyone who’s selling a car today just adds 5-10k to the KBB market value. Just a big bubble waiting to burst IMO.
I'm around your age so E46 M3 has been on my wish list for MANY years and its still my favorite BMW M3 design of all time. My F80 is close 2nd haha. I had a deal to buy a clean 2005 E46 M3 in Silver from EAG for $26k with just under 40k miles back in 2015 instead I got a BRZ. I need a bigger garage to add my 2000s dream cars - E46, E92 M3 and 360 Modena!
ZCP for the CSL rack. Have been fortunate to drive many E46 M3’s. Currently own a 06 ZCP. It’s not the brakes, they can be sorted. CSL wheels can be bought. You get the ZCP for the CSL steering rack. Just going from 15.4:1 to 14.5:1 makes a huge diff, imo. Fun factor too. Steering feel is better, imo, w CSL rack as well. Retrofit it, Matty!! Also, yeah… this car takes a minute to get right, Matt. That’s all part of the fun. Enjoy!! Looking fwrd to the content.
Have had mine for close to 8 years now, bought it at 59k miles, now sitting happily at 83k. It's a Dinan S2 hardware w/S3 software, rather mundane with the power but OE+ in all regards. Very happy to see you do cool stuff with this car!
Nice to see a fellow Dinan E46 owner on here. I have the stage 3 suspension, intake and engine software. I also have the Dinan floor mats. I went with AA exhaust and a Rogue rasp eliminator. I did not like how Dinan only used one side of the tailpipes and the other was fake. I have 80k on my Topaz blue M3 now. The paint and the interior are still new looking but I added 19” HRE wheels to it.
G'day Matt you need an E60 M5. trust me once you drive and hear one you'll want one. I've had mine for just over 2 years and haven't looked back even though it's an SMG I love it. it's grumpy shifting at low speeds and manoeuvring but once your flat and in S6 mode just awesome.you couldn't manually shift faster.
Csl airbox, European headers, some sort of well sorted exhaust, Dinan 4.10 rear gears, black cube trim, i like the blue Brembo idea I think lsb calipers would be awesome. One of those bmw lookalike CarPlay units. Reinforced subframe, and the carbon roof ugh perfection!
@@jrose7381 I’m sure EAG would do whatever you want to pay for, within reason, like Dinan stuff or suspension etc. The fun of it all is starting with the best blank canvas that you can and enjoying the process of collecting and installing quality modifications that enhance the car and not compromise it.
brought a 2004 one 2 weeks ago with 62,000 miles on clock. Velvet blue rare colour. first job i did was strip subframe and do floor strengthening as they all crack, and change bushes and put a purple tag steering rack on it, sharpens it up. But do that floorpan over anything else. I dont like non oem mods like you do, it can ruin them and devalue them. so mine staying stock, just the airbox thats it.
Had 2 E46 M3s. Final was a 05 comp 6spd alpine white on black. Best car I have ever owned. Miss it everyday. Car get faster more tech etc. But few cars tick all the boxes like this car did for me❤️
A happy Matt is a pleasure to watch 😁The look of "Happy Matt" at the end of the video was really great to see. I don't know Matt, of course, but I've been watching for years. Brilliant content Mr Moreman & team 🍻
So excited for this. I've been trying to get my brother to sell me his bone stock carbon black 2001 E46 M3 for years, he finally cracked last month. I'll be following closely as I will be doing many of the same mods. Exhaust is going to be a tough one to get right.
$65K for this car? Wow… EAG definitely made a big profit here… however, nice car.. my e46 M3 also came from EAG (previous owner bought it from them)… Good luck with your project. Looking forward to seeing the updates
Love all the modification ideas except for one thing… The black BMW emblems. A crisp blue emblem over alpine white would be the prettiest finishing touch!
put a Tubi exhaust on it !!! they are just up your alley, rare, good quality and sounds great ! I have just a muffler on mine, completely satisfied with it.
If you touch the original style of the car, you don‘t deserve it. Keep it as it is with alle documentation and keep your hands off all aftermarket staff. This is an icon, don‘t ruin it.
Come on Matt when I got my E36 M3 I was making $37k and swung the 5yr/$700 payment! Haha. Eating ramen noodles and living w/ 5 people for $300/mo. Those were the days. Totally worth it and still have the car in perfect condition.
I don't know if it was the launch color, but I remember seeing a ton of advertisements and promotional material of phoenix yellow cars back in the day.
Colors available at launch in the US were Alpine White, Phoenix Yellow, Imola Red, Laguna Seca Blue, Jet Black, Carbon Black, Titanium Silver, Steel Gray, and Oxford Green. They had promo material with a lot of those.
Matt may want to remove the Clutch Delay Valve. Thats the reason you felt the roughness when reving from 1st to second gear. I 've had a 2005 Comp pack and 2003.5 Non and both had them. Also the reason why the Rev matching is so hard to do.
If you get the CSL intake, I would highly recommend a tune with HTE Performance Tuning. He makes good tunes and crazy dyno numbers! Congrats on the new project
I bought mine with 49k on it for about $17,000. Like you I was 20 when they debuted and couldn't afford one despite working at a BMW dealership then lol. I had so many plans for upgrades but ive only changed the wheels. I love it just the way it is honestly. I STILL wish it was a CSL though 😍

Csl trunk lid will change the looks completely.
Dinan short shifter is a game changer.
SS headers with a rogue entering anti rasp pipe with a Agency Power titanium v1 muffler screams.
I miss my e46 M3.
I would say the SCZA muffler sounds a bit more refined.
I have Superprint v1 + sec 1 & 2 + Cobra Sport (Uk brand) sec 3 myself.
A bit to raspy for me.
@@jongararjorundsson3345 its not an e46 m3 if its not doesnt have that infamous rasp lol i have almost identical set up as urs i just went SS from headers back.
I have a friend who did Stromung exhaust and added 2 resonators I believe and his car sounds incredible. 0 rasp.

Out of all your builds so far this is one I’m most looking forward too
I love my 2005 m3 Cabriolet. I know - you guys are all about the coupes - but when the sun’s out, and I’m driving in North Italy - nothing is better.
I was waiting for you to do E46 m3. Very excited for this build.
Welcome to the club! You will love it. Awesome example you have to do whatever you want with it
That things looks so damn good in that color. Congrats on the new "project".

Daily a 2015 STI since 2017, I think about my old E46 M3 often. Such an analog, raw driving experience.
This is a hell of a collection you have right now! 🔥🔥

To remove rasp:
Supersprint headers, Supersprint resonated section 2, Supersprint street exhaust and CSL intake. Intake is most important.
For intake, karbonius is the best. Really quality products

I have a Dinan tuned E46 sitting in my garage. I love the way it drives and handles.
I love the SMG too man! Setting 6, changing gear at full throttle between 2nd a 3rd, is one of the best things about the e46 m3 for me
Truth 👍😎

@@nleeumd did you forget who’s building this ?
Thank god without the crappy SMG
@@nleeumd he spent $65k on the car and is putting a carbon roof on it. You think he gives 2 halves of a whole sh*t of what it costs??? 🤣
Keep it out of sport mode. All that does is change throttle sensitivity. Might be reason you say you were not shifting well.
My exhaust recommendation
Headers - Supersprint stepped Version 1 (this is the only option you should consider.)
Section 1 - Supersprint Section 1 thats fits ssv1 with cats
Section 2 - Leave stock
Muffler - Supersprint Race(but this will be raspy so you may not like in which case I dont have a suggestion)
Can't wait for the thousands of exhausts videos on this one! That rasp will be interesting to tame.
The stock setup has just enough rasp
Not ricey but unique
E46 era launch color as I recall was Titanium silver. Alpine is more timeless color, cannot wait to see it Sat!
K
Hmm, i have TiAg and i thought it was Laguna Seca
Me too i was thinking laguna seca blue
I don't know if it's different in US (do they change it for USA), but in Europe launch color for E46 M3 was Phoenix yellow (if I'm not mistaken).
The launch colour was laguna seca blue and Phoenix yellow
Manual!! You win! Can't wait to see what's next!
Looking forward to this, just bought one not nearly as good but getting it dialed in. :)
I’m so excited for this series
Beautiful car! Erik @ EAG is really doing everything the right way! Always excellent need nothing cars! Congrats!
As a decade owner, with no budget I would:
- CSL aribox (with H bridge DME)
- CSL bumper, boot, diffuser
- M track mode flash
- CF Roof, like you plan
- BBK - maybe F80?
- Vincebar/CMP subframe. Plates aren;t enought. If you dont drive it much, not essential. But it WILL crack
- CS Sportster seats
- M performace knob (or zcp at worst)
- VANOS lock down
- Ohlins
- 4.1 diff
- Alcantara wheel
- Secondary air pump delete
- solid steering coupler
- Dynavin / Bavsound (unless you go mental like you do)
- Induktive charger / drink holder
- gate lady wants the D
Finally, a clean and nicely modded e46 m3 on TH-cam coming!
Is it the need for speed m3? I’m not a fan of the crazy body kit and video game graphics
@The Mad Monk I just looked that up. Is that a real comment?

I have a Phoenix Yellow 04 and love it. Treat her well!
Matty’s secret password at the guard shack is probably “Jankey”
Come on Matt when I got my E36 M3 I was making $37k and swung the 5yr/$700 payment! Haha. Eating ramen noodles and living w/ 5 people for $300/mo. Those were the days. Totally worth it and still have the car in perfect condition.
Ha, ha... I didn't make too many smart moves when I was younger, but I did trust my gut. That has kept me out of trouble.
My brother owns one and every time I see it I think it’s one of the nicest looking cars around a true classic not the fastest but it is sexy
I don't know if it was the launch color, but I remember seeing a ton of advertisements and promotional material of phoenix yellow cars back in the day.
Colors available at launch in the US were Alpine White, Phoenix Yellow, Imola Red, Laguna Seca Blue, Jet Black, Carbon Black, Titanium Silver, Steel Gray, and Oxford Green. They had promo material with a lot of those.

LSB was launch color

I dont know why, but these first impression videos are my favorite, that and the exit interview videos.
Matt may want to remove the Clutch Delay Valve. Thats the reason you felt the roughness when reving from 1st to second gear. I 've had a 2005 Comp pack and 2003.5 Non and both had them. Also the reason why the Rev matching is so hard to do.
Agreed this is a must, did the same mods to mine back in the day and like the man says, will solve your issues with shifting 👍🏼
Yep when I did my clutch finally it felt like it should especially rev matching. That and rogue engineering updates to the linkage
Great idea. I'll be yanking that out for sure.
Clutch Delay Valve also wears down the clutch unnecessarily
Congrats Matt! My E90 M came from EAG, awesome guys and great business. Looking forward to the new content on this one!!
Welcome to E46 M3 family!
Supersprint headers and backbox, csl intake, kw clubsport, bbs e88, Ap Racing Pro 5000, Recaro PP, and team schirmer kinematics.
Wow that’s beautiful gratulation 🤘🏽
Man, your community gate person is awesome!
This is awesome Matt I have the exact same car and year I would of traded my E46 M3 for your E92 M3 I love that car
This is gonna be a legit series can't wait. Nice car Matt!
If you get the CSL intake, I would highly recommend a tune with HTE Performance Tuning. He makes good tunes and crazy dyno numbers! Congrats on the new project
I bought mine with 49k on it for about $17,000. Like you I was 20 when they debuted and couldn't afford one despite working at a BMW dealership then lol. I had so many plans for upgrades but ive only changed the wheels. I love it just the way it is honestly. I STILL wish it was a CSL though 😍
EAG is a 10 minute drive from my house! would be a dream come true to buy a car from them. think "BMW M" runs in my blood lol
