That interior will look great in there! Also I love Sunbeam Tigers!

I was in the womb at the 93' Indy 500 2 months before being born, seemed to have worked for me.

Not nearly as much room inside as the e91 (it's easily a foot shorter) but still can fit a decent amount of stuff inside with the back seats folded.  That's definitely some good info, thanks! I was planning on going to see these three this weekend. Any insight always helps. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5490729274374093/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1303804813527857/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/699095657848007/

Looks great!

I dislike the phrasing that ECS used for their lift, as there is no height issues limiting tire size. The limit to tire size is the front spindle design, the control arm ball joint mtg is over the tire instead of behind it. You are physically limited to a 31" OD tire unless you completely redesign the front suspension or run a large spacer.  [image: image.png]   HipMF said: I;m thinking about thos Sidewalls. They're less sidewally than I wished for, but the brakes limit me to an 18" wheel, and the upper control arm / spindle limits me to a 31" tire without getting wild.  I looked at the rabbit hole that was "Stuffing 33's" under it and doing what it took, but at the end of the day it's my daily driver so I should avoid that. For now

Hoping to get back into project mode w/the M5 next month. This summer the focus has been on my new daily. Couple of immediate tasks: DSP Amp replacement + reinstall BlueBus PDR on hood - highway debris Power steering lines Aesthetic refresh due to backroads driving (conflicted about this one) Front and rear bumper replacement Headlight replacement [image: image.png] [image: image.png]

m42b32 said: Was fun watching the end of the auction yesterday, happy with the result??  I am. I was a little worried by the identical car ending two days after mine, but it seems like that didn't impact my auction much at all. I watched that one end today and none of the bidders were the same individuals that were bidding on my auction, which I found odd. The winner is actually a local guy, so Im sure we will see the car around.

I need to go to this next year.

And she's back together!  Only hiccup was I forgot to order the front bumper bolts for the MTech bumper.  The stock one are too long, but will work until the new ones come in.  She still needs a good paint correction and wax, but I'll save that for another day. Feels good to save another E46... [image: PXL\_20220423\_164621765.jpg] [image: PXL\_20220423\_164640962.jpg] [image: FB\_IMG\_1650469493160.jpg]

Had some time to do a paint correction yesterday as well as install a paint matched rear wiper delete. Getting closer to being satisfied...for now.  [image: 20220417\_192215.jpg]

I opened my hood today, it was boring to my face. I started my car, it was too quiet into my ear. [image: 20220326\_102258.thumb.jpg.862409a82f88adf292875156c54911ad.jpg] I felt a feel, then inspiration. [image: 20220326\_104410.thumb.jpg.94db55c135097994ed4fb0a7434515a0.jpg] wowie zowie. I chucked in the 'ol (new) Turner Motorsport intake on my n52. My review: Not even noticeable when you start the car and drive around town in a civilized fashion. Car wakes up dramatically over 3500rpm. Then, it howls like a banshee to redline. Feels good mayne. I have a video on Instagram if you guys feel like hearing what I hear inside the car. @rampelsauce . Also featured in the video, the sound of my coffee thermos rattling around in the passenger side footwell. More tinkering to come but I'm getting closer to having this car wrapped up. Exhaust and a tune should be the next and final major mods.

Those look right at home

YoungCR said: @timmer any long term updates? Wow, guess I gotta get on here more often!! it’s been great! I still love driving it… I’m at 125,000 miles now, so I’ve put on 15k since it was deleted and tuned.  It’s about time for some routine maintenance for the old M57… time to replace the valve cover gasket, vacuum lines, and replace the charge pipe.  No problems now, but known failure points.    Fuel mileage and power remains great, but I’m starting to get the itch for more!  I’ve been eyeing up hybrid turbos from www.tunemyeuro.com, it’s crazy how much you can squeeze out of these engines! I still giggle at the looks I get driving around, especially when I get into boost -Tim

wasnt m3 said: hello what website did you buy your bumper ?   Got some stuff done after work last night.

The results are in! Last tune vs new tune That pickup in torque is very noticeable, the top end doesn't feel all that much different but feels much smoother than last time.  [image: image.png]
