They've gotta go on the M3 if they're yellow! The TMS cars look bad ass at night with the yellow lights!

i'm excited for this car to be sorted. I'm hoping to see you at the E30 picnic or the next C&C so we can catch up!

Has this car ever had any rear subframe tearout/cracking issues?
The whole trunk ripped out and the diff was flexing all iver the place. Got it fixed and reinforced with turners weld in plates years ago. She should be bullet proof...

All codes are gone now. Put 50 miles on after I cleared them.

After doing a little research I think I should put a new salmon color relay in for the SMG.

Will you be making the picnic on saturday?
If work doesn't have me booked up I should be able to!
I have a sticker on the e46 that says my other car is an e30...

SMG is giving me some trouble. Also, chasing a vacuum leak somewhere as I'm getting a 174 error code.
Replaced SMG relay with two different new ones. Problem still exists. Once car gets hot, stop and go traffic/non-freeway driving, it slips into neutral and won't go back into gear.
Getting a low pressure code from the SMG. Thinking the pump can't keep up when it is warm.
My luck is seriously bad. I've been doing a good job on the good karma angle to life and still getting $#% * around by these damn bimmers.
But when they work, all these headaches are worth it.

Step 4: Install S54 in e36
Step 5: Burnouts

This is too true.
I have had many instances where I have thought of getting out of the car-hobby all together from frustration of working on things and dwelling too much about the mountain of receipts that would exist if I didnt immediately throw them away.
When its back together and im driving, all is well in the world.

This has been in my living room for a month...
Not driving the M3 much due to the SMG pump loosing pressure (I think), just random beat runs around town which have been a blast. Waiting for time to install the new pump and coil overs.

Dunno if you have already but consider getting the reinforcements for the rear spring perch from rogue engineering. Can try garagistic at a lower price. http://www.rogueengineering.com/Rogue-Engineering-Rear-Spring-Perch-Reinforcement-E46_p_124.html
