Started From the Bottom: An e46 M story

[NinoHale]

I am pretty sure anyone who has had a 80's-90's german car can say this has happened to them, It's literally the biggest pain in the ass ever.

That's the beauty of no car payment lol... Stuff happens and costs few hundred to fix. Pretty much the same as having a car payment, but ideally you don't have repairs every month.

I found out a few years ago I was actually allergic to car payments and older, lien free cars was the cure 💯.

I don't know what's going on here. There's too many BMW chassis codes to keep up with. I like the BMW that went to H20i. And Ollie is cool as shit and I'm so proud of him for what he's doing...so I like people that get his stuff. That's where I'm at with this.

E46 - show car

E36 - daily

I'm with you though... A lot going on lol.

So.Many.Updates.

When I picked up the e36 it had slight body damage on the passenger side.

The initial plan was to fix the fender and small crease in the quarter... Then I emailed Ollie at Felony Form. For the same cost I could have a little more fun with the car.



Painted today and on next week.



Over the past few weeks I've also had a good amount of maintenance done.

Vanos, valve cover gasket, and oil stand gasket.

The cheap coils I picked up just to get low are driving me nuts lol. Rear strut bushings are shot after 3,000 miles along with plenty of other noises... Either going BC again or Broadway ASAP.

The Hamann's also got some fresh PC.



As for the e46, it spent the majority of the winter in shelter at my buddies shop, FrameWorks. Needless to say he killed it with the CSL deck lid.





After not driving the car for a few months I miss the 💩 out of it.

I also ordered some Rotiform's which should be done in a few weeks. Absolutely pumped for these.

Headed to Water by the Bridge in a couple of weeks... Stoked to get the car season started.

My buddy snapped some pics while the e46 was up at his shop. The CSL deck lid should be on in the next few days.

Decided to drop the e36 off at a local tire/performance shop just up the street from work.

I needed 2 front tires (previous owner had 2 track tires up front) and an alignment after tossing the coils on...

I got all of the above and a surprise.



They owned up to it the right way and will be taking care of it.... Hopefully it's not s giant PITA.

Oh... I also got a new Radiator Monday as well.
