WIBIMMERS

Welcome Dan! Did you get my message about the camber plates?

OP, not all E46s are affected by this change.   Pre-facelift BMWs 99-01 were mostly affected by the change, in early 2002 (not sure exactly when), BMW corrected the design flaw in the body/subframe.

It is definitely a concern for all e46s but truth be told, not all have been affected.  I have yet to see one facelifted E46 affected by the subframe cracking issue the pre-facelifted E46s have.

Edit:  If you want more details on this, pop over to forum.e46fanatics.com

Do some research to see if the e39 tools will work.  I have them all.  They are up in GB, but I could get them.

Nope, e39 is not compatible.

Not going that route.  Sorry.

All,

I am wondering if anyone has or has access to the subframe & differential bushing tools for an e46.   My differential bushings are starting to beg to be replaced (read: vibrations at high speeds).  I would like to do the work myself rather than pay a shop.

Does anyone have these?

Thanks!

Asphalt.

welcome.

great looking car, I'm a sucker for black bmw's

Thanks though I wish my ZHP was either silver or red.   But pickers can't be choosers.

Thought I'd fly the flag in the new member section.

I'm a long-time auto enthusiast with a particular affection (read affliction) for NSXs, early M-cars and Porsches.  I used to be quite active on a variety of car forums from 2003-2008, from nsxprime to bimmerforums and on and on.

Here are a few shots of the namesake M5.  I'll add photos of my other cars soon. 

Welcome!  Can't wait to see this when it is done at the shop.

Is this the gentleman I meet at Cars and Coffee in Lake Mills, with the super loud NSX? (The dude, who wagered his car was louder then the straight piped E28?)  If so, You definitely beat me on the loudness, and that tone was ungodly orgasmic. We heard you for miles!

Agreed!  It was awesome!!!

At least somebody's car attracts creepers.....

Not it.

Greetings all,

Thought I would join the board and say hello!
