Hey guys, a lot has happened in the time between my last M3 video! I've had a few since putting the car back on the road, but this was the main one. Anyway all sorted now, and feeling great!
That onboard camera angle at towards the end of the video was superb. I love the whine of the transmission. Sounds like a 90’s BTCC touring car. The 4.1 final drive sounds so much better, the gear ratios sound so much shorter.
Yeah that Final drive should have been from factory, why have a car which makes all the power up top and fit with the final drive of a 200mph top end lol.
The pebble road surface stuff is terrible. Its been done on my estate and local roads. They said any excess would be swept up but it never was. It works its way to the edge of the road but when the weather is bad it spreads all the stones out again. England's roads are an utter disgrace and we pay through the nose for it all.
Loving the M3 content. Had the rod bearings done just before lockdown along with clutch, flywheel, new diff and a whole load of other stuff. Hardly driven it since 😢
Johnny D Legend, Nah she’s a keeper. Everything mechanical has been done, vanos, rod bearings, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, poly bushes, subframe, new wings. Just wants a wheel refurb and a blow over to make it mint.
Good to see the M3 back. Mind you, makes me regret selling mine. You’ve some cracking roads up there too. Going to head up in the 1602 once the m44 has been mapped and lockdown is lifted.
Hey Danny.🖐 I'm absolutely loving this M3 content, man. Gorgeous machine that's definitely worthy of the foam canon. Seeing that level of detailing, I was half expecting the ASDA peanut butter to make a guest appearance. So happy you got the latest issues resolved and the ebay money spent wasn't for nawt. The check engine light/limp mode combo are almost like the automotive equivalent of the blue screen of death. Your M3 has a damn good exhaust note to my ears and sounds like the 4.1 pulls great. Nice upgrades that should have been factory standard. I've said before, the countryside is beautiful over there. Ooh, but I hate that loose asphalt.😠 They do that shit over here now, too. Cheap sonsabitches! Those roads are a true test of your suspension setup with all those curves and peaks. Looks like you've done a hell of a job, because if you hadn't, the car would be bottoming out and scrubbing 'round every bend and jump. I read the comments and agree 100% with the incar camera footage scenes... superb action! I'm not sure what everyone's on about with the wrong side of the road comments, though. Looks normal to me.😉 Good to see you out enjoying the M3, Dan. After all those long days in the Autobarn turning wrenches, wiring, welding and such, you deserve some real joy in your life. For now, the M3 does the trick. You'll have to excuse me now. I'm gonna have one last listen to that closing soundtrack.👌 Have a great tomorrow.
Hey Mick! I get the feeling you're enjoying these videos that bit more lately, I think as the video quality goes up you step to the mark and make sure your review reflects that! :) It's been another one of those testing weeks, but definitely worth it in the end. Stay good Mick! Back to MR2s next...
I had the exact same issue on mine. The 02 sensor loom shorts, blows the fuse and puts the engine into limp mode when put under load. Started happening mine on the way to the Ring and couldn't figure it out. Fine sometimes and then jump into limp again... Doing it around Brunchen wasn't ideal :D Found the problem then, Got a transmission sub loom from Ring spares and all sorted. The other little sensor is the Exhaust gas temp (egt) sensor. Last camera view is class!
Nice sounding exhaust now mate. Got that trademark 'rasp' too. Yeah no idea what they are now, but I used to have an S2000 and I never actually got to put a decent exhaust on it cuz they started at about a grand and I just never had the money for it.
Espanol spec at the end. Love these roads, out towards Hawes is really nice which in sure you’ll have tried out. It is a shame all the nice twistys are so bumpy :-(
You watched M539 restorations Dan? He's a wizard. Between him, and yourself getting the E46 back out I've had a big push to get all the rust sorted on my E34 and get it back out for whats left of the summer.
I ran a decat for a year and a half, but found it too boomy on the motorway. I bought a resonator to try and reduce it but still found it too lairy. So in the end I went back to running the cats. My mpg went up by about 4mpg with them in too. My exhaust isn't super quiet (supersprint cat back), but it sounds nice with a deep tone, and I think I like the induction sound more than an overly raspy exhaust.
Hi Dan, loving the M3 vids, got an old as in really old beemer myself but mine don't sound like a 6 cylinder anymore, loving the sound of yours with the mods. What's the reason for the flipped footage at the end?
Just putting my 2pence worth in. Send some of your old oil off for analysis to see what the copper content is. You will know if your bearings have gone then,or the condition of them.
Thinking of going this route with mine, quick question removing the o2 sensors is it a constant resetting engine management fault codes over time? Do you have to link them out somehow or just bung and disconnect ? Come Mot will it give me a headache ? I’m just looking for some increased rasp only. Thanks Danny
ha head gasket,vanos and boot floor. The when not if magic 3 . I was lucky, my 5 years with an e46 m3 did not end with one of those. Quite a bit in servicing and mods though. I decided to quit whilst I was ahead. Buy a bad one its a headache that empty's your wallet!
Mexico looks very green this time of year. Earth is healing. We are the virus etc
😭
The driving clip at the end looks like a shot out of a Tarantino film. 😎
i thought so too. looks amazing
Like the camera angle of the in car at the end!
It freaked me out! Thought he actually driving on the wrong side of the road until I realised everything was flipped haha!
That onboard camera angle at towards the end of the video was superb. I love the whine of the transmission. Sounds like a 90’s BTCC touring car. The 4.1 final drive sounds so much better, the gear ratios sound so much shorter.
Yeah that Final drive should have been from factory, why have a car which makes all the power up top and fit with the final drive of a 200mph top end lol.
That last bit of driving footage is probably my favourite content of any over all the years I've watched this, mint
The pebble road surface stuff is terrible. Its been done on my estate and local roads. They said any excess would be swept up but it never was. It works its way to the edge of the road but when the weather is bad it spreads all the stones out again. England's roads are an utter disgrace and we pay through the nose for it all.
13:46 Everytime I see Danny use that set up for the camera, all that gose through my head is. "Project Binky! In colour!"
2:30 classic Alan Partridge Quote "big posh sod with plums in your mouth" lol
That last camera angle was sick, and it was mirrored too which was pretty interesting, the car sounds really good, and the gear whine adds to it :)
Agree, though I'm kinda surprised it's mirrored, it wasn't on Instagram
I didn't even realise it was mirrored. I'm used to having the steering wheel on the correct side I guess xD
Any day this channel uploads is a good day
Ah mate that reversed vid at end totally wrecked my head!!!
So much to do... enjoyed the vid Danny. Days like these revisited
Sounds epic mate! value for money is great with these mods so well done!
Loving the M3 content. Had the rod bearings done just before lockdown along with clutch, flywheel, new diff and a whole load of other stuff. Hardly driven it since 😢
Looking to sell it? 4.1 diff as well?
Johnny D Legend, Nah she’s a keeper. Everything mechanical has been done, vanos, rod bearings, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, poly bushes, subframe, new wings. Just wants a wheel refurb and a blow over to make it mint.
What mileage has it got Mart?
PukkaMan 69, 96k. Had 62k when I got it 5 years ago
Nice, mines roughly same on a waiting list for the bearings doing..
The scenery looks incredible at the end of the video! I for sure want to travel to the UK at least once in my life.
Top work Dan 👍🏼.....I’ve been one of the bikers in the same area this weekend 👌🏻....wonderful place but yes lots of people....and police about
Good to see the M3 back. Mind you, makes me regret selling mine. You’ve some cracking roads up there too. Going to head up in the 1602 once the m44 has been mapped and lockdown is lifted.
Just found your channel, love your have a go hero attitude, subscribed!
Loved the end footage. Love e46. Love yorkshire. Cheers

I have the same Autobrite snow foam lance as you Danny. Have it since 2011, powerful unit, never let me down.
Glad to see the decat isnt causing that much of an issue. Sounding good.
Done a good job so far mate, looking at that end clip (mint by the way) looks like it turns in proper snappy. Diff whine sounds good too 😎
What a beautiful area to drive through!
Such lovely scenery in the Mexican Dales
Arrr yes ...That driving experience of continuously looking in your mirrors on great twisty roads.... Does kinda take the fun out of fast cars ....
I've honesty never seen a police car on roads like these, I just watch for bikes overtaking.
Wow, that shot at the end was epic! I need to know where these roads are!!
Farm Machinery, Bikers, Police and a Peugeot. The only thing missing from B road bingo was a Pheasant!
Keep that m3 content coming.
I had the exact same issue on mine. The 02 sensor loom shorts, blows the fuse and puts the engine into limp mode when put under load. Started happening mine on the way to the Ring and couldn't figure it out. Fine sometimes and then jump into limp again... Doing it around Brunchen wasn't ideal :D
Found the problem then, Got a transmission sub loom from Ring spares and all sorted.
The other little sensor is the Exhaust gas temp (egt) sensor.
Last camera view is class!
That gravel shite just seems to be everywhere on the roads at minute can be bloody slippy
Nice bit of, Genius of love lad.
perfect timing on those coppers!! haha
The shot at the end turned my belly thinking you were taking them blind on wrong side of road at first!
Cracking upload
The probe that you mentioned is the exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor. It works with the oxygen sensors for emissions regulations.
Great result...4.1 is on my list, done bearings,de cat,subframe, bushes and shit..
She sounds savage with the decats.
That camera position for the last part of the video is fucking mega! Best Camera position if ever seen for real
Nice sounding exhaust now mate. Got that trademark 'rasp' too. Yeah no idea what they are now, but I used to have an S2000 and I never actually got to put a decent exhaust on it cuz they started at about a grand and I just never had the money for it.
Danny’s decats - “Fuck the emissions and environment”
*Limp mode* - “hold my beer”
😂
Espanol spec at the end. Love these roads, out towards Hawes is really nice which in sure you’ll have tried out. It is a shame all the nice twistys are so bumpy :-(
Last clip seemed ideal for some Matt Monro fading in over the top. 😂
You watched M539 restorations Dan? He's a wizard. Between him, and yourself getting the E46 back out I've had a big push to get all the rust sorted on my E34 and get it back out for whats left of the summer.
I always knew BMW made better sports cars than Audi 😁 Great video and shout mate
You have my dream spec m3, preface lift estirol blue manual with square wheel setup and facelift rear light😘 Preface best looking e46 imo
14:53 Classic Porsche (?) S2000 and newer BMW enjoying the same scenic backroads. 👍
First car was a TVR.
“Say roads again,
Say roads, one more god damn time”
Those roads looks interesting and fun, but definitely not smooth :/ needs good suspension setup
You guys may have rust, but you've got some nice vistas as well!
French countryside is so under rated 👍
13:55 amazing roads good cam angle
The casual Partridge quote 😂
Was at Bedford Autodrome on Saturday, imola red M3 was knocking its bollocks off by lunchtime, owner looked like someone had just pissed in his arse.
That probe that you left on is EGT exhaust temp sensor. You don’t need it.
I ran a decat for a year and a half, but found it too boomy on the motorway. I bought a resonator to try and reduce it but still found it too lairy. So in the end I went back to running the cats. My mpg went up by about 4mpg with them in too. My exhaust isn't super quiet (supersprint cat back), but it sounds nice with a deep tone, and I think I like the induction sound more than an overly raspy exhaust.
Great, now I really need to get a e46 M3 as my next car
9:35 A wild copper appears!
*Surprised Pikachu face
Nice Italian job ending
Love it 👌
Immense ending !
Fk me Dan the views around those roads are stunning, I’m off to circuit days ring td in Oct in my e92 m3. Should be fun 👍
Middle one is EGT. Just for temperature it will be fine
Nice
M3 says don't care would make a great tshirt
What does "wols" written on the roads mean ? I can't seem to find that on the Spanish to English Google translate 😂
It means "fast"
Can't wait to see you put a carbon airbox on that beauty if you plan to do it ! ;)
Probably not, but if it's still here in a few years maybe
Hi Dan, loving the M3 vids, got an old as in really old beemer myself but mine don't sound like a 6 cylinder anymore, loving the sound of yours with the mods. What's the reason for the flipped footage at the end?
Camera angle at the end is like the start of the Italian job
English countryside looks nice when the suns out
Dunno who that bloke in the LHD M3 is but his camera angles are sweet.
Just putting my 2pence worth in. Send some of your old oil off for analysis to see what the copper content is. You will know if your bearings have gone then,or the condition of them.
Good vid, Surprised you can disconnect 02 sensors with no faults?
summit like this you need 90 degree m18 x 1.5 Replacement angled extender 02 oxgen sensor exhaust durable
Need a bumper cam with a mic in the engine bay on some twistys OOFT
Thinking of going this route with mine, quick question removing the o2 sensors is it a constant resetting engine management fault codes over time? Do you have to link them out somehow or just bung and disconnect ? Come Mot will it give me a headache ? I’m just looking for some increased rasp only. Thanks Danny
Where is that road at the end? It looks amazing.
Probably just needed rear O2 sensor spacers. That or you can get the software changed to ignore the lack of rear O2 sensor or to ignore the readings.
Compare the roads to Melbourne we got fkn dirt tracks. Ya lucky bstrd :)
Where are these roads at the end of the vid pal ? looks well nice
Last bit was really unnerving at first thought you was on the wrong side of the road till i realised the camera angle is flipped
I really want the 4.1 diff upgrade in mine but worried about the super short 1st. How is it to drive?
What's the name of that road mate? Looks stunning
Hi mate I am at the Nurburgring on the 10th of October when you there mate ?
The county of the sports car
Where is this? Some nice roads
The side sensor is an Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor.
Who did the boot floor ? Did you film any of it
Thats bumpy AF 😱
4:07 - probe looks like an Exhaust Gas Temp sensor
Have you had any issues or EML lights after unplugging the o2 sensors?
hate that pebbledash shit 😢
What dates are you going to be at the Ring?
So the big question is out of the three cars what's your favourite?
You taking the E46 to the Ring or...?
So how long until the M3 goes Clubsport style?
It's already in somewhat light clubsport style.
Is that an Isle of Man TT t shirt?
ha head gasket,vanos and boot floor. The when not if magic 3 . I was lucky, my 5 years with an e46 m3 did not end with one of those. Quite a bit in servicing and mods though.
I decided to quit whilst I was ahead. Buy a bad one its a headache that empty's your wallet!
You need to get ISTA mate
LHD M3 ?
Camera footage is mirrored ! Threw me off the second I saw him on the wrong side of the road
Surely you have to do a rear 02 lambda delete in the map??
My thoughts 2
