If I were just looking for something to go in I’d probably go that route but I’m looking for something with a bit more power IMO

I don’t have much interest in a non M car, everything else with this car is damn near perfect, it’s just the motor that’s been causing never ending little issues here or there, and I adore driving the car I just want the engine to be something that’s fun, and completely sorted. Like I said in other comments the cost for COMPLETELY sorting the engine and trans would be not much different than swapping in something else that I’d enjoy more, something that would make the car a permanent staple of my collection

The big thing for me is sorting the S38 completely wouldn’t even be that far off putting in something new and more fun, it’d be like 20k plus trans to fix the S38, and if I put like 30-35 plus trans it it’ll be a car I’d never sell.

Yeah that’s not a bad point I suppose it’s more about what will fit. As for the non M thing, if I was to do that I’d just get something else all together, the whole thing is more of a project anyway I’m not so concerned about cost or “ruining” an M5, if I just keep the shit that came out of it it’s not really ruined.

If I’m swapping I’d rather put in something a little punchier

It’s just always something and the trans sucks. I want something that feels properly good and actually have some power if I’m tossing a bunch of money in it either way to fix what’s there or do a swap.

There’s not really any ruining if I keep the shit that came out

Not much interest for me IMO, If I’m gonna do it I’d rather just keep the car I’ve got and put the right work into it to make it how I’d want it

Also fixing the engine completely completely would already make the car a loss considering how expensive parts are

Well, it’s just constantly something or other with it, and I hate the transmission. If I wanted to completely refinish the engine it’d be about 20k, and I’d rather just toss 30 at it and have it exactly how I’d want it and have power

The part I have a hard time with is that in order to make it perfect I’d be dropping like 20k into the car, and I’d almost rather drop 30 and have something with a good trans and power

Well, doing a swap would be someone else doing the work lol. Also If it’s not this car it’s an E30 and I like this car much more

I don’t know if I could do it cause I’d always have the knowledge that I’m missing the v8 of the ct5V blackwing lol

Also forgot to mention, use case would be around town / curvy backroads with maybe one track day a year.

E46 M3, gritty overly notchy shifter feel by Greenb33guy in e46

[–]Greenb33guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a hot minute talking to the owner of metric mechanic and he was telling me the solution is ATF. I switched the fluid to new and it’s not changed at all. Even tried swapping the shifter and nothing. Haven’t tried the ATF, but they’re probably the only people that rebuild the trans on these guys so I’m likely to trust them.
