M3 e46 is my dream car.... I got a 330 coupe right now slick top car is super fun I can only imagine how much better the m3 feels
m3 e46 is my dream car too man, i drive an automatic 328i e90 07’ Naturally Aspirated around 200 hp do you think i should go to a 325i ci or 330 coupe or save up for the m3 ? i know how to drive manual, i know how to slide my 328i pretty well but i want to be able to stay in first or second without it jumping gears for me, what do you guys think ?
@@ayethatskj9932 If you don't want to save up for the m3, definitely go for the 330. I have a 01 330ci right now and I love it. The m3's have a few more necessary maintenance things you have to take care of compared to the 330, but definitely worth it if you can afford it or know how to work on theses cars.
As a person that has come from a 330 to an e46 m3, you need to get one. Two entirely different cars. I could never go back. The e46 m3 is a car everyone must drive. There are no modern BMW's that can EVER compare to the rawness and the driver's experience of an e46 m3
@@ImErice Agreed, had a E46 325CI and moved to an M3. Maintenance goes up without a doubt, but man...What an experience it is to drive. Still gives me goosebumps to this day and I've had it for 3 years.
Get a good one for sure, I got mine before prices went up and it was still really cheap at like 9k, lets just say I probably would have a lot less work to do had I bought a nicer one.
That silver one is such a great build, really is OEM+ .
Love this, need more E46 M3 content.
thank you so much for the info!! I just picked up a 2004 E46 and I am falling love lol
Luv the work you do mate! 🇦🇺🔧🧰⚙️
Great advice as usual...keep it coming!
Just found out about PSI through the Larry Chen videos. So pumped!
E36 323is, E46 M3, E92 M3 and E92 328i - subscribed here! Just found the channel, keep up the great vids!
Subbed cause of the e46 content. Loved every second of it
Thank you iv needed this you have no idea
Thank you, more e46 content!
All three boxes shown are Turner boxes! They have the fluted style piece that attaches after the filter!.
I just got a e46 325ci 2005 thanks for the lo for maintenance
You seem very solid I’m sure your customers are very happy.
Love my 06 m3 comp. Would love to put a csl style intake in her but itll be a while lol.
That grey e46 is unbelievable, making me question if i really want the silver grey or not
Have owned an e46 m3 for 3 years now, can’t imagine looking back and it’s not that car behind me.
Just a quick question I recently sold in 09 335i n54 kitchen gray. Which I really enjoyed the two smaller turbos made blowing power I really liked it I sold it looking for something different the kid that bought it didn't have all the money so he gave me and 05 E46 330. This car is definitely not as fun to drive being naturally aspirated and not as fast but I was just curious what something like a manual swap would cost for me to have done professionally by you
I'm a local and have called twice in the last year to see about getting my rod bearings done on my 2006 330ci zhp. I really would love to go with yall and maybe even do forced induction.
Let’s do it.
Very informative video. I ask you to consider showing completely the upgade you talk about. For example, on the second car you mentioned that he swapped out something on the center console that changed the location of the switches, yet had an O.E.M look. I've owned an e46 before and I'm looking to get another. I would lean O.E.M with mods, so I would have liked to see what that change was.
We are going to dive into each aspect with its own video soon!! Stay tuned.
Hello 👋, do you mind telling me the tire sizes from the steel gray e46? It would help out a lot! Thank you!
Dude being super professional and 3:20 he helps to open the door by the glass... no no
very interesting video, I just wanna say that the first guy has great taste almost an oem+ build but it looks amazing in that colour.
Appreciate the comments. OEM+ is exactly what I was after for this build.
@Chris Cruz love that you used a supersprint exhaust makes me really proud to be Italian. I'm actually looking to buy one, maybe not the m3 cuz you know, I'm only 21 lol. Do you have any advices?
Did you already sell the car? I recall he mentioned the silver one was up for sale. I'm also overseas military. @@vha27
What about the issue with boot/trunk floor split issue? And bearing she’ll wear?? Both expensive repairs.
That dssr shortshifter, it seems like i cant find it anywhere or i'm just not looking at the right place. Either way, is it intended for m3's only or does it fit regular e46 aswell?
I’m stuck between mods and stock. I have a 94 mtechnic e36 so I really want to change anything. Side markers and headlights lol for now.
Great video, just subscribed! Looking at getting an E46 M3. How much do you guys normally charge for the SMG to Manual swap? Thanks ! And I love how you guys do such a legitimate manual swap, good stuff!
Email us, happy to help. Sales@precision-sport.com
The E46 and E39 M cars are without a doubt the best BMW ever put out.
Best cool cars in the 🌎
Can the carbon roof be installed on non slick top?
More e46 m3 content pls
More to come!
I had know idea of what the design idea like a expression of mechanical opitions like a good baseline to make my own art it being the art option it is or has a fill of flow for me to express what I want my car to say when you first meat her for the first time
Where is the silver one listed for sale?
I need e46 m3 car. Wow❤❤❤
Joey Fatone bored me to death lol 😂
Wheel specs on the Ti silver? Too nice
Titan7 Ts7.
You don’t ‘need’ to run the alpha n tune on a CSL install, the correct way is the CSL clone map with a map sensor and AIT sensor.
Alpha N is a default map that the car resorts to when it has no MAF….its the cheap way of having a CSL style intake.
It’s rough as compared to the CSL tune.
If your car is 2003> you most likely have the MSS54HP ecu so can flash the CSL tune if it’s pre face lift you get the ecu MSS54 cloned to the CSL ecu and run the correct software
5:35 could you name the companies that sell these headunits?
What radio what that again? Does somebody have a name and model number??
Thx!
Random question but are those hood insulation pieces really necessary? My body shop took mine off when repainting my hood and it was so worn they couldn’t put it back on they said. It’s over a hundred bucks to replace so just seeing if it’s worth replacing.
just numbs down the noise, don't need it
That intake is definitely a TMS box, there's no option to attach the snorkel. With that intake and Alpha N tune, there is probably a significant drop in low end power.
How much is the modifying BMW E46?
m3 e46 is my dream car too man, i drive an automatic 328i e90 07’ Naturally Aspirated around 200 hp do you think i should go to a 325i ci or 330 coupe or save up for the m3 ? i know how to drive manual, i know how to slide my 328i pretty well but i want to be able to stay in first or second without it jumping gears for me, what do you guys think ?
It’s your life. Do what you like.
why they haven't headligt washer ?
In the silver car what stereo is in it? I like the oem look.
I would like to know that too!
Avin avant 4
Thats a Turner Motorsports intake.
Bro how much is a manual swap
Do you guys do carbon roof installs?
Yes we do, in partnership with our bodyshop. We have quite a few between E46 and E9x
what is the brand and model of the screen on the silver m3?
It is a Avin Avant 4
Wait wait wait i have been trying to find some guys that can do the manual swap. Where are you located?
Oviedo, FL
Let's see the grey one at the back
does the manual swap make the transmission last longer than keeping it smg? curious about this. i love the smg, but if it means longer lasting transmission i would swap to manual
it’s the same physical gearbox as a manual, but less moving parts bc the hydraulics and electronics are deleted in lieu of a clutch pedal and shift linkage. i’d say less failure points but in terms of the transmission itself neglible change to reliability.
noted. and thanks for the response! @@jakegianino5762
What state?
4:40 The only thing I want to have changed on mine is the seat height. It's too high. I'd never want it to sit higher like the narrator says.
Can you compare e46 m3 to e90m3? Witch one is better for driving and having fun ?
They are both great cars. It just depends on what you are looking for in the car. Quite a few videos comparing the m3's on TH-cam to help as well.
Agreed, it’s a personal choice, both are great, but are completely different.
E46 M3 is more fun, but a Miata is most fun.
Where is your shop located? Can i bring my m3 e46 to have it inspected??🚙
Located in Oviedo, Florida! Can absolutely take care of your E46 if you are local. Shoot us a call at 407-617-0372
Can i have the vehicle shipped there to the shop?
those are both Turner Motorsport intake
Why don't you do proper mss54hp ecu tune ?
What do you mean? It has an ECU tune.
How much does it cost to do a manual swap?
Please email: sales@precision-sport.com
The most beautiful car in the world 😍
Your knowledge delivery is great🧨🫵🏼… I myself have a one series and you mentioned the guy behind the camera has one as well, where can we see his build sheet as I’m sure y’all have worked on his car… many thanks
How much for the manual swap?
Email us, sales@precision-sport.com
I wish e46 m3 would be a little lighter than what it was. I don't know why e46 gain so much weight compares to e36 m3. Compares to e92 m3, e46's weight is not light at all. Don't know why?
How much you charge smg to manual conversion?
It’s only for douche bag’s to let you know.
How much is the manual swop by any chance
Alpha-N is not a race inspired tune.
Its a very old method and way of tuning with pre determined fuel index tables.
Its like using a default tune for when modern efi doesn't work.
The correct way would be to use the csl dme and sensors
We are using the CSL sensor, airbox and DME software here. That happens to be Alpha-N, this is a full conversion done right.
Every S54 race car we build runs a version of this airbox, sensor, and tune and for the S54 that is an industry standard to have the air flow needed for this engine to make alot of HP NA.
@@PrecisionSportIndustries ok. But the correct csl box using a slightly different DME and map sensor would be the proper way.
I'm not bashing alpha n. I use it myself and have good Dyno proven HP
@@PrecisionSportIndustries who does your Alpha-N tunes?
@@chrisg4rr377 Can you run map sensor with CSL style intake?
@@switch9 you would have to get your DME cloned to a csl spec and fit a Map sensor and pipe etc.
If you wanted to used the Maf sensor, you would have to make it fit inside the csl airbox somehow, and did to the air volume, I don't think it would be accurate
Very nice but I wouldn't call that the ultimate guide, more of a walk around
damn my m3 is looking dusty compared to these 2
Nn ci amiamo mi dispiace tienilo al caldo
A manual swap 1-2 times a week. Really?
Yes, really. We have 3 E46 M3 right now for this, 1 E60 M5 and 1 E63 M6.
Title does not match the content of the video. Showing different car's modifications is not a guide, moreso not an ultimate guide. No word about maintenance, either.
We’re making another maintenance driven video follow up. So stay tuned.
I fill her better a hum
Posts a video claiming to be the "ultimate" guide to modifying and maintaining an e46 M3, proceeds to talk about two people's cars for 15 minutes...
