  1. Engine Swaps
    Hello fellow e46 owners and M54 enthusiasts, I'm starting this thread as an overview of my engine swap I'm currently in the middle of. Long story short, I blew the engine in my e46 on the track in October last year. Just some background I have an M3 rear end conversion, Infinitas supercharger...

    Have an '04 330 ZHP that recently had some steering rack/alignment work done on it by a local Euro shop. After getting it back I noticed that when straightening the steering wheel coming out of a turn when the wheel was at full lock that the steering "catches" as if something is binding. Tech...

    So I've gotten as far as taking off the door panels, removing the pulls, and getting the armrest pad off (at least on one side, the other side is stuck). What I'm struggling with is separating the Black Cube from the other half with the melty soft touch. Has anyone done this without shattering...

    So I've been looking around at previously asked questions regarding the AHLs on the facelift coupes, but none of them seem to align with the specific problems I'm having. To catch everyone up to speed: I have a 2004 330Ci. The car came from the factory with AHLs, but the previous owner...

    I 330ZHP (motor only) swapped my 2002 325ci. The stock Getrag couldn’t handle it and blew out. I wanted to open it to see the damage but I couldn’t get them to separate. All the bolts are off and I’ve been hammering screwdrivers and a prybar in between them. Haven’t saw a YouTube video with that...
  6. E46 M3
    Hey yall! Had a quick question about my interior if anyone's got an answer for me. I'm currently 'rebuilding', or more like 'bringing back to former glory' a recently purchased 03 SMG M3. The interior is a little 'tired.' Alot of fading. Alot of cracking. Alot of rattling. And I want to start...

    My car is a 2004 ZHP Convertible that I bought around 4 years ago as a project. I tried to re-wire the headlight assemblies after discovering that all of the internal wires had the brittle insulation that E46's are known for. My repairs were not successful, so in the end I bought new...

    Hello all. I am looking to upgrade my 325 with a new steering rack, as the old purple tag has begun to wear out and lose feel around the center at 200K miles. I am considering the yellow tag rack that was on the 330s and ZHP, but I am also wondering if it is possible to swap in an M3 rack...

    So I'm currently sitting on two beamers. The one I daily drive is an immaculate 2005 330i sport. This one I've had for about a year and has absolutely no problems. Paint is near perfect, interior perfect, and engine and transmission feel strong. Along with that I've added some decent upgrades to...
