The E46 M3 Journal

Thanks guys! It's soo good to have it back. The body shop is booked up but I should have it back next week. Getting new plastic parts to replace the broken ones where needed on the underside. Excited to get this back to 100%
I feel the loss of compression was gradual as the car smelled super rich for the longest time. It was dumping fuel to make up for the drop of compression. I feel it was just beat on super hard from day 1. I know I was everything but kind to that motor.
Next phase is a new coil over set up. I like the low look but I need a quality but sporty ride. What is a good choice? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

KW Street Comforts have been getting great reviews but I don't think they're available on the e46 M3 yet. ST's are a great choice and have a rebate going on right now. The XTA is a fully adjustable version of their ST X. BC get's great reviews as well and are more budget minded than the ST's while still being fully adjustable. Only issue with BC is they are all custom so it typically takes 3-4 weeks to get a set.

I feel like most custom rate coilovers take 3/4 weeks, I Could be wrong. I have fortunes coming for the e30 because Enjuku/BC shipped my shit to Texas.
I went thru endless autosport & got custom rates. He was one of the cheapest vendors I could get a hold of for fortunes

Hallway Pat and I are talking and we are thinking the XTA's are the way to go.

Stopped by the body shop today. The car was in the spray booth after getting the broken trunk latch mounting points welded, prepped and painted.
Front bumper is almost ready for paint.

Angel eyes. Got these for $20 and I hope they are the yellow style and not the bright white led ones. I fell in love with the angel eyes on my buddy's dad's 2001 e39 m5 that we used to drive around in high school.
Now which car do I put them on? 325ix or the m3?

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...
