My E46 M3 build journal (NJ)

[jamesbond]

Some rolling shots from my friend

[jamesbond]

Installing catless headers, section 1 resonated and Xpipe...already have a borla muffler. It started raining so we had to stop. Sucks working in a driveway and no lift!




Car was a little too hot so had to find a way to cool it down faster haha

[jamesbond]

This is another budget build that i plan on doing later. sucks that someon buys an m3 and treats it like shit...but Ill bring it back to life. Its a 1995 BMW M3. I am trading a mkiv vw jetta 2.0, manual for a set of 17" 3 piece or other wheels for this beauty. Let me know if anybody down to trade their wheels for a car.

[jamesbond]

Installed everything...one clamp and bolt that holds the muffler broke so i have no muffler right now...Car sounds CRAZYYYYY

Tank is upside down and fits perfect on top (had 2 of my friends help me with the install of this...not very easy)


Changed the headlight covers, put on smoked corners


Air ride finished, threw the wheels on and my boy took a pic. currently how it sits with no alignment or adjusted camber.

Just got my new wheels mounted n balanced but have a terrible wobble :/

[jamesbond]

I like the look I'm just not convinced in the lower front splitter yet, maybe it will grow on me.

How do you find the drive on the air when pushing it?

haha maybe you would like it more if you saw is in person but surprisingly the drive is pretty comfortable and feels stiff just like coilovers...and I am not afraid on stepping on it. Not sure how it will go if i do some donuts tho lol
