Your prices are totally out of whack dude. Rod bearings, oil, filter, both engine mounts for 1,500$ Get out of here. Double it. Alternator 450? New one cost 1,000 Set of genuine ignition coils is around 1,000
I was thinking of buying one of these. This video has totally put me off as so much has failed around the engine! All performance design but not much of a nod to reliability.
Thanks 😎 It’s mineral white, video never does it justice, really “pops” in the sunshine (picture of the sun setting against it on my Instagram - stone_automotive last week)
To be honest you can’t go wrong with either the M3 or M2 😎 owned a MK2 MX-5 years ago, cool thing for chucking round the back roads but not a patch on the M3 (v8 life 🤤😎)
Haha understandable! I put his contact details in the description for the video - BMW e46 M3 Interior Upgrade - Finally SMG stick improved!! th-cam.com/video/ZgnxPZprRYc/w-d-xo.html
Very nice car :), I don't get why you fitted a roll cage though when you don't even track it, seems a waste of money. *shrug* And the price of the new intake is insane!😲But it sounds like so is the sound!😁 Will have to check out your video on that.
Thanks mate 😎 Haha well guess that depends how fast it’s driven on the road to justify the cage.. could also say why do I need a 420bhp V8 when the max speed limit in the UK is 70mph 👀😅 Yea the intake makes an incredible noise 😎
Agree compared to the e46 a more solid car 👍 mines been pretty reliable with just the odd sensor causing issues but it’s never left me stranded thankfully
Y’all must’ve had really new ones, really old ones where all the pain had already been experienced by someone else; OR y’all just drove garbage examples with low standards. People love to exaggerate how “reliable” whatever bimmer they had was. My friend just got a pretty clean one and it has: Leaking thermostat Seeping valve cover gasket(s) Leaking DCT You gotta budget more than just the rod bearings.
Some of these service items are cheaper than my 1997 EK Civic, mental.
Yep.. and some parts certainly not 😅 in all honesty it’s not as bad as some would make out to run 👍
@@stoneautomotive Given me more reason to buy one. Dream car
One thing I would do is update the headlights to halogen/xenon. The yellow globes date the car.
I have considered doing something with the head lights but in an odd pay I also like them period correct 😅 who knows what the future holds
Wrong. The yellow is period correct and looks awesome on a black car anyway. Maybe new bulbs needed but keep that same colour.
@@FlagnarBoobzincorrect, white bulb makes the car look better ESPECIALLY a black car
U mean Mrs not misses
🤷♂️
Your prices are totally out of whack dude.

Get out of here.
Double it.
Alternator 450?
New one cost 1,000
Set of genuine ignition coils is around 1,000
Why would I have any reason to lie 🤦♂️
Check any of the UK specialist and that’s the prices…

To be honest it’s the most reliable out of the generations 😅 the e46 & F80/F82 are plagued with much worse issues 🙈
Very awesome looking car! Is your car Alpine White or Mineral White?
Thanks 😎
It’s mineral white, video never does it justice, really “pops” in the sunshine (picture of the sun setting against it on my Instagram - stone_automotive last week)
Not sure if i should buy a m3 e92 or a m2 n55 or turbocharge my mx5 na😂

Good morning. Do you still have it man?
Yep still got it, sadly doesn’t see a lot of use these days 🫠😩
@@stoneautomotive Great car and great video.
@@zbigniewgarbaszewski5903 thanks 😎
@@stoneautomotive What is the reason of no using it as much as before?
@@zbigniewgarbaszewski5903 have a work van currently so most of the time I’m in that! Hopefully get it out tomorrow 😎
Thanks this is a great review. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the channel support 😎
Got a direct contact for Snappy? I want him to do a wheel my E46 M3 and don’t want to have to sign up for multiple Renault Sport forums to find him 😂
Haha understandable!

@@stoneautomotive well you could very quickly and safely rejoin traffic from the hard shoulder if you needed to! 0-70 in a little over 5s 😁

Trully the cleanest and most beautiful e92 m3 I've seen!!
Thanks Anton 😎
It’s very nice, but have you seen Obsessed Garage or Wetm3..?
@@X11CHASE yep seen those 😎👍
I owned 2 E93 M3 just sold the last one, only changed 1 wheel bearing in total of 1 yr ownership , found them v reliable generally, own an M2 now

@@X11CHASE your friend is a single case cannot generalise with his unfortunate luck. Also why so agressive.. take a deep breath
@@MrSoulja171 people saying they’re reliable are the one’s generalizing, what I’m telling you is not an anomaly, it’s a 10-15ish year old Bimmer…
First
so glad it isnt 36 minutes now because at this point it would just get spooky. I want my prize still Stoney :p and also what?! This car got stolen?!
Yea couple years back ☹️
