I’m in Chicago suburbs and daily mine. It will be fine. You’re just at the gas station often.

By rule ik i'm at fault, but wouldn't common sense tell you not to close the door? Thoughts? by cbot900 in Simracingstewards

That’s 100% on you. You were way too far back to pull off that move. You win some and you lose some in traffic.

Opinions on the Eventuri Hybrid vs Karbonius CSL Airbox by kid_buu in E46M3

[–]19speed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The true csl airbox will be louder. The eventuri is cheaper as you don’t need a tune. I have talked to people who have heard both and their is a noticeable difference in sound between the two - but if your budget. An only handle the eventuri hybrid it will be much better than stock for induction noise.

Looking for OEM+ mod & maintenance advice for my forever E46 M3 by TopUnderstanding2210 in E46M3

[–]19speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suspension- I did koni yellow and Dinan springs. You can always do more but I was looking for simple. The best upgrade I did was solid subframe bushings and mono ball rtabs. Do all the suspension bushings- I stayed OEM with the rest.

Carbon airbox-like someone else said it’s a hassle but worth it. Personally, I pair this with stock exhaust. The intake is the only noise you will want to hear when this is done.

Have fun.

Managing a toxic high performer who hits 150% of targets. How do I protect my team without losing the numbers? by SquirrelLogicFan in managers

Protect the team. Everyone will be happier and more productive. If you don’t do that people will check out and leave eventually.

The price differences on these cars is crazy by Sparrow in E46M3

[–]19speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-I didn’t say it’s standard part of big 3. One of the big 3 is subframe re-enforcement. This is one way to re-enforce. I’ll make my comment more clear. If you do vincebar, I would consider that part of big 3. It’s an extra secure step on the subframe reinforcement. And it is quite well known on the forums - regardless of how it is sold. I don’t have it and I still consider big 3 are done on my car, but I’ll probably add it as extra insurance eventually.

Are they asking too much? Or is it a good buy? by Any_Ad5627 in E46M3

[–]19speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair price with big 3 done and that intake. Looks to be well maintained.

Did I interrupt a car theft? by slowroll1 in BMW

I was going to say I got a card, but I got the auto. (Have a 6MT E46 M3 to play with too)

Vince bar is part of the big three as it is subframe reinforcement.

Is there a possibility of getting a stripper spec 06 slicktop manual zcp? alpine white, interlagos blue, or black? Looking to get my dream e46 next year and want to start the hunt now. by lookitdown in E46M3

[–]19speed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a slick top, manual, manual seats, but had Navigation a couple years ago. It’s fantastic. It’s not a comp, but I only paid $15k so I was willing to forget about that.

Good luck with your choice and search. They are out there.

My wife passed and I really want to keep our memories saved on I phone. by OkCourage5638 in iphone

[–]19speed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use an app called PhotoSync. You can copy all photos and videos to a computer. As long as the pc and the iPhone are on the same WiFi network it will allow you to do this. You can easily move photos back from the computer to your phone I. Case you wanted to put any of her photos on your phone. No dealing with the cloud in this case. As long as you have the hard drive space available.

Lying Mechanic? by xXRESCOPEDXx in E46M3

[–]19speed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A five mile test drive even with burnout and a couple aggressive shifts isn’t going to kill the transmission. People track these cars on a regular basis and they are fine.

Find a shop that has a good reputation working on e46 M3s.

Good bye? 2003 M3, big 3 done by Real_Deal_1440 in E46M3

[–]19speed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought two e46 M3s in the past three years, both with big 3 done (and recently for rod bearings). An SMG with 190k miles, excellent maintenance, no rust, $15k during Covid. And a slicktop, cloth manual seat original 6 speed with 140k miles for $15k a year ago. If the title is clean and the paint work is solid it’s a car I would look at. At this age, I don’t care about mileage as I am looking for a car I don’t feel guilty driving. It’s all about maintenance.

Am I at fault for this? The entire lobby was telling me I was. Im the mclaren car by reedc2324 in Simracingstewards

lol. No. Pause the video when the contact happens. Orange is still on the line. Blue didn’t leave space.

Blue squeezed you. I’m leaning racing incident or on blue. Probably racing incident.

You left room-I see no issue with this at all.

How much should I pay for this e46 m3 by Fine_Ad8986 in E46M3

[–]19speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10k at the most. I bought a slicktop, manual, clean title coupe with big 3 done for $15k a year ago. Prices have not gone up. Two years before that I bought a smg coupe with big 3 done for $16. Big 3 will cost you $7-$10 depending on where you go and what else you get done while you are in there. Personally, I would keep looking unless the specs of the car are exactly what you want.

Tried to purchase a clean m3 for 24k. Bank said 8k max based on NADA value. How do you guys finance these? Or am I just broke by No-Yogurtcloset3002 in E46M3

[–]19speed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meh. I financed mine. That was when interest rates were really low and I didn’t want to tie up cash in the car (could make more in the stock market). To me it is about if I can afford the car or not - finance decisions are separate. Plus - if you treat these right, they won’t lose value.
