The E46 M3 Journal
-
So far this winter the M3 has been doing okay. Avoiding driving it on the super cold days in favor of the 2001 XJ Jeep.
Necessary to do's:
- Weld two new resonators I have into section 1.
- Install new crush rings and bolts where the headers meet section 1.
Hopefully these two fixes will fix the running rich on bank 1&2 and stop the vibrations at low rpm.
- Connect sunroof drain hose in the A pillar.
- Dry out the carpet.

Painting Kevin's old wheels?
Had to... the field paint wasn't too professional.
Anyone know what style these rims are? I really like them.

Nice card trick!

Almost done. The fiancée isn't too happy about the paint fumes that are in the entire house now but at least they're painted!

Not arguing against it, I know how crazy they were in person haha. Style 18's I believe.

Finally done. Passenger rear is slightly rubbing. I'll let itself do the adjustments.

Can you guys help me shead some light on the M3's cylinders misfires?
@DrLeadFoot
-
Well smotth running values def indicates cylinders 1 and 2 misfiring at that time. BUt your fault codes show more, and a low fuel level fault also. When does the misfire occur? Id be inclined to either investigate cylinders 1 and 2 or clear all faults, make sure you have more then a 1/4 tank of gas and see what faults return. coils. plugs, injectors could all cause this.
-
Plugs and coils have been replaced recently. Usually #6 always throws a code. The tank was full.

I cant believe all the crap you can read off newer control modules. That would drive the OCD crazy with all the faults that come up
You have no idea, I bought the scanner that can tap into every module in my e46. It is ridiculous what it will record, "low voltage passenger side mirror" for example. It was a shadow code so it wasn't actively happening. If you unplug anything it will remember.
Gets crazy, and that's on a 2000, imagine what the 2014 cars are like.
