Sorry Im being a tit, just skim read, saw the comment by ed about the prolines so thought youd put them on. As for the wheels just saw the pic and assumed . . . note to self to actually read in future! Lol. MY BAD.
Cheap to run iirc. M3 money.
Spent more time of the road than on it?
Thought you were going down the sensible route? ie. selling it.
i reckon the only e46 m3 that will be a classic will be the csl.A friend has just started specialising in m3's and has recently purchased 2 cars, he paid £7k for an 03 manual car in black with nav and 19's on 59k!!!!!!!
There is also an 04 for sale which has only done 19k for £16,000, future classic?
Spent some money this morning, after the headgasket being changed, i thought it wise to give it a full service. Was done on 89k, but tbh, im an untrustworthy sod, so thought i'd do it all again anyways, not the biggest expense in the world for piece of mind:
Engine: 8L of Castrol Edge 10W-60 for BMW M Models & Genuine BMW oil filter
Gearbox: 2L of Fuchs Titan Sintofluid SAE 75W-80 MTF
Diff: 2L of Castrol Syntrax Limited 75W80 140 & 1L of Redline LSD Friction Modifier
Microfilter: UFI Carbon Pollen filter
Spark Plugs: 6 x NGK DCPR8EKP's
Fuel Filter: Genuine BMW
About to order 2 new front Kumho KU31's (to match the rears) in 225/40/19 fitment as well.
Happy Christmas Emm Fwee.
I was thinking of doing the diff and box oil on the 320d, have you done it before?
Nah, didnt get round to doing the 320d, its easy enough though apparently ...
Only issue i have is that its cold outside, & tbh, im a bit of a wimp lol.
i reckon the only e46 m3 that will be a classic will be the csl.
does your friend have a garage in leeds? if so where is it as i moght be tempted with another e46 m3 real soon
CSL or CS might be.
Have you changed the bulb and the lens? If so, could you not have kept the original lens and changed to a silver bulb?
Depos/Silvervisions fitted at lunchtime. To be honest, not so sure if want?
Standard, complete with fried eggs:
Depos, with Silvervisions:
Obviously, it does help that the indicators are clean, & the rest of the car is under 3 months worth of dirt, but im not sure if they look right
Better.

They look uber aftermarket those indicators mate. Not wanting.
Standard with Silvervisions so much better. I'd rather have Orange bulbs than those ones.
Have to agree with Gally here Dave, either go black grills with depos or chrome bits with standard indicator lenses. I much prefer the standard brighter parts to gangster tinted s**te, I wont sugar coat it for you! Lol
I think im in agreement tbh. They look totally different on my car to others for some reason - perhaps its the colour?
Will try standard indicators with Silvervisions tonight then ....
Nick are you going to Panel Wise tonight? You & Ollie can laugh as i attempt to replace the current engine oil with the bodily fluid of a freshly culled Unicorn? (Might as well be for the cost of the sodding stuff)
