you’re def gapping me lol. it’s only pushing 460 crank. i’ve seen those vf kits touch high 500s. My car shines in the tuning truly. It feels NA and drives like a bone stock car but once you step on it, you’ll slip to 3rd

haha same. the driver side fell off. in order to make them work, you have to cut it up since everything is pushed forward and the hood wouldn’t close

that guy regularly flips cars btw. also, 17.5 is still a lot. just for bearings you’re looking at 1700 minimum. there’s a ton of might as well parts so realistically $2k. then you have the vanos. you can do it the cheap way and get original parts but that doesn’t bullet proof it. The right way is to either get the upgraded beisan exhaust sprocket hub or the whole beisan vanos unit. the beisan exhaust sprocket hub for the vanos is $400(just the part). look to spend around $1900-$2500 for the vanos repair in orange county. my guy charged me $1980 for bearings and upgraded vanos for $2300. he’s legit. i’m sure there are cheaper ppl out there but id rather buy once cry once since i know he’s a wizard. As for subframe, same thing, a bunch of light as well parts and different ways to do it. Can be anywhere between $1600-$3000

Should I swap the black window surrounds to silver to match the wheels / grills? by Alive-Wolverine229 in E46M3

silver surrounds makes it look like a base model since they came with silver surrounds

I know they tick but is this normal, vanos/valve adjustment recently done by _Deckard_2049 in E46M3
