WIBIMMERS

I've accumulated a pile of stock parts as i've modified my 2002 M3 and i'd like to see them put to use instead of collecting dust.   Stock exhaust manifolds/headers (taken off @ ~92k) miles-$350 Stock muffler (taken off @ ~92k) miles-$50, local sale only at this time Stock front struts+springs  (taken off @ ~90k) miles-$150 Stock rear springs (taken off @ ~90k) miles-$50 Stock rear shocks (taken off @ ~90k)-$40 Stock rear camber arms- $30 Shipping not included in prices [image: IMG\_5110.JPG] [image: IMG\_5137.JPG] [image: IMG\_5138.JPG]

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]

S54 is at 103k miles and had the bearings replaced with WPC! Everything looked pretty normal wear wise for this mileage, and crank was in great shape.  [image: IMG\_0527.JPG]

Looking for a e46 328 4bolt rear manual driveshaft for a 5spd zf conversion I am doing. If anyone knows where to locate one or any other options for swapping a 5spd zf into a 325, please let me know. This is the last major part I need to get my car moving.

Do you do any other leather work? Like center consoles, glove boxes or door cards??

Rekpoint said: IDK if its just me... But these would have looked pretty damn good on your new wagon! You aren't wrong haha, didn't necessarily want to sell them but I needed room in the garage and the freed-up funds means more e30 parts!

Welcome!! Add some more pix. We would love to hear/see more!

Its time for an UPDATE! Holy shit has the past month been a stressful but rewarding in the end, so thats why I have been slacking on updates here haha For starters the street tuning went well. There's still some touch ups the tuner wants to make which I'm fine with but the car rips pretty well! 20210526_200253.mp4 Here is the completed version for now. I made some delete panels for the rear diffuser, it turned out good enough lol. [image: 20210526\_211751.jpg] [image: 20210526\_212232.jpg] And with the tune being safe to drift on that meant it was time for some testing at DD80 at USAIR. [image: 20210530\_083412.jpg] The car did well, stayed cool the whole day even though it was not super hot out. The power difference is definitely noticeable although I still can't run 3rd. (Might have to consider playing with a different diff, but it does not hinder driving at all) [image: FB\_IMG\_1623329968985.jpg] [image: 670A6059.jpg] [image: 20210530\_164310.jpg] 20210530_161118.mp4 The bumper fell off and got scratched to shit so that's lame but oh well lol. [image: 20210605\_185350.jpg] The biggest issue that arose was the clutch was slipping once the car cooled down at the end of the day, not surprised that it glazed over lol. The current clutch was a FX "HD" kit with a single mass flywheel. Now began the headaches.... We unloaded the car on Thursday and put it on the lift. Pulled the trans and installed a brand new FX stage 2 kit (e36 style without the self adjusting pressure plate). [image: 20210603\_192145.jpg] While that went smoothly and the car was back on the ground and driving that Thursday night there was a vibration between 2k and up in almost every gear. I ended up bringing the car home from the shop anyways. I then decided I was not okay with that vibration, so I jacked the car up and pulled the trans out on the following Saturday.  [image: 20210605\_124313.jpg] I replaced the pilot bearing as I was ignorant and didn't do it the first time at the shop. I checked and retorqued everything without finding any true smoking guns. I drove the car Saturday and Sunday and the vibrations still persisted. So Monday night I went back up to the shop and snagged Sam's old FX stage 4 kit since we know it is tried and true.  Then on Tuesday I pulled the trans again and threw in the stage 4 kit. At this point I'm getting way to fast at this job lol had everything taken apart and back together in about 3 hours and 15 min hahaha [image: 20210608\_195328.jpg] [image: 20210608\_211153.jpg] I then test drove the car on Wednesday and the vibrations were gone thankfully! I also should have mentioned that the vibrations happened when free revving so thats how I knew it was clucth/flywheel related. Now the reason there was such a big rush to get this clutch situation solved is because we had a big event coming up at the Milwaukee Mile hosted by Track Day Direct. In final preparations for the Milwaukee Mile event I added some seems legit garage axle spacers. [image: 20210611\_121529.jpg] [image: 20210611\_121536.jpg] Now on to the fun! We made it!  [image: 20210612\_090633.jpg] The track was FAST and took quite a few runs to get the balls up to really send it. This was my first time drifting using 3rd gear and eventually I figured out how to set myself up to get back into second for the final turn, she didn't seem to have enough to let it eat in 3rd on the last turn but I would like to try again next time we are here. Here are some photos! There was a night session as well and I will share a few photos when they become available!

I really struggled on turn 1 and had to straighten and re-initiate into turn to but when I did that she absolutely ATEEE and thats where the speed came in! Super fun! received_499992047905259.mp4 received_499992047905259.mp4 received_318451406669939.mp4 received_681255366018396.mp4 And here is proably my favorite clip I have seen so far. VID_23610504_061746_537.mp4 All in all it was a great event. I learned alot and was able to put on a show too.  [image: IMG\_9232.jpg] I do have a few things I want to address before the next event hopefully. But summer and this season is off to a hell of a fun start!

Ok boys.. I believe I solved the problem today. I was thinking last night about when the issue occurred. This started happening about halfway though the first day of a 2 day event. Now, Friday night when I arrived we swapped the valve cover that was on the car to a spare that I had that was uncracked, the existing one was cracked. So the uncracked one was on the car for the entire event. Now when i was cleaning the uncracked one the previous week I removed the baffle that is under the outlet on the VC that goes to the catch can. I didnt think anything of it considering the system had a catch can in it rather than the CCV. With that being said my logic thought that maybe the large open gap now allowed oil being thrown around in the head to be sucked into the catch can tubes easier due to the engine vacuum being drawn through the catch can. I made one last attempt to solve this today and re-installed the cracked valve cover that still had a baffle in it. Started the car and instantly it smoked less. Drove the car a few miles and once I was back home blipped the throttle a few times and nowhere near as much smoke came out. Let the car sit for 20ish minuates and started it and almost no smoke came out, and I did this multiple times throughout the night and the smoking on start up has ceased and same with when the throttle is blipped. I will attach a photo of the valve cover with the baffle that I removed. So for anyone that was interested in the outcome, I saved myself alot of time by not having to do valve seals. lol [image: 20170827\_171330.jpg]

wasnt m3 said: Not sure on swapping internal parts but you can swap in the halogen lights, no problem. They have the same main plug.  Thanks for the reply! I actually just found a entire bi-xenon assembly for the side I needed on eBay for $125 shipped!

Jdesign said: I use to live in Milwaukee and I have a ton of friends in the "Dubya-BEE" area. Ahh Okok, and not gonna lie that took me a second to figure out haha.

I looked into purchasing a kit, but wasn't sure which one I needed. Price ranges from around 40 bucks to 300...I would imagine there is a certain dye needed for an oil leak, as opposed to an A/C leak...?

Here's a link to a 325 to 330 swap thread. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=938967

I was curious if any of you can or know someone that can remove small minor dents and scratches for cheap. Not looking to spend much at all, just hoping they can be fixed real quick. They are very minor things, but they are fair enough to be bothersome to search for a helper. Located around the Milwaukee area.

Welcome!

I've had my 2001 330i for a bit over a year now. Bought from a repair place in Marion that didn't do the best of work. Only things I've had to do so far have been pump leak on washer fluid resevoir, lower hose coolant temp sensor, thermostat and front control arms. The torque of engine is great- an all around fun car.
