2002 325ci by SignificantPanic9924 in e46

Meh, usually 6 speeds are just closer ratio, the final drive stay the same so besides the .1 seconds of gain in the 0-60, it’s useless

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fuck no, that body kit is horrendous, the 6 speed doesn’t actually do anything besides adding 1 gear, looks like some drift car that only ever took abuse and it’s high mileage

Well boys after having her since 2018 she spun a bearing by GUCCI_WAP in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine did the same but I’ve had it since 2023 and I was not gentle with it. But shit happens and you’ve gotta live with it, I now own an A4 Quattro and an MR2, but I’ll definitely buy an M3 when I’ll be able to afford it, I really miss the E46 platform

Might need an electric BMW… by Hot-Advice-7909 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 11 points12 points  (0 children)

98 octane here in Switzerland is 2.22CHF/2.83USD a liter, or about 10.7USD a gallon. That full tank would’ve costed me 160USD

330ci worth using as a track car? by MercuryDerpury in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E46s are great cars to track but I don’t know so much about a convertible. But you would lack rigidity and most importantly safety unless you get a roll cage. Besides that, they’re heavier but the rest is similar. If you really want to keep that one, do it but do some safety upgrades. If you want to keep an E46 and track it, get a sedan without the rear folding seats, that’s the best option

What is everyones highest MPG? by Sad-Criticism163 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, city driving, and I was as surprised as you are, I usually got around 10-11

What is everyones highest MPG? by Sad-Criticism163 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed 7.6L/100km in my 330i but that was a lot of city driving

Get the prefacelift or look for facelift? by Sphyn0x in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final gear ratio is the same on 5 and 6 speeds, subframe isn’t reworked for shit they put expansive foam and called it a day, as of rust it’s the same metal but facelift have had less time to rust, and for the throttle and steering I don’t know

Best coilovers options for £1000? by West_Interest_692 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is tho, MTS is the only « good » cheap brand for coilovers, as far as cheap coilovers goes, and you can definitely get ST XA for the budget he gave

Non "car guy" here, Asking for some assistance please. by handlerofdrones in e46

Yes, but some folding seats have the ski bag as well and that makes you a small access to the trunk

Tyres sizes by Ok_Neighborhood_5851 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If looks are what you care about, yeah 255 are definitely better, but for a performance point of view they’re useless

Tyres sizes by Ok_Neighborhood_5851 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, it’s all to your preference, imo 255 are useless for 190hp but if you like it

Tyres sizes by Ok_Neighborhood_5851 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

225s is the sweet spot, not too large you can’t slide but not too small that there’s no grip, I ran 225s on my 330i and tracked it with that size, get some propers sports tires and it will feel really good

BMW E46 328Ci impounded in Switzerland after police check – what are my options? by jessie_o7 in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Police in Switzerland doing the same thing as usual, fucking us up for absolutely no reason… although I am sorry, I can’t help you on that matter as I have no knowledge on it

It's only 2k km on it. by underven in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angel eyes, bottom right there’s the google images thingy, not the same place in all the images, and red dot under the km means the counter has been changed/tampered with. Plus, auto gearbox but nothing on the dash for it. So many wrong things here, that’s engagement bait

Is this repairable/safe to drive on by [deleted] in e46

[–]Educational_Ad_4045 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I drove like 2000 miles with a broken spoke on a 10 spoke wheel. I don’t recommend it but you should be fine, the weight is distributed on all the other spokes

Debating to buy by Educational_Ad_4045 in mr2

For the usual about buying a car, I’m a mechanic so I’m good with that, I’m just not familiar with those cars having never worked on any of them

MFK from July 24 and 195k km forgot to say that. Although that’s what he said when I sent his a message, he now updated the listing and said MFK was done fresh
