Gruppe M was cool but got around to installing this unit!
A bit of a hassle to take apart and clean out but finally...
After a thorough search, I decided to go with Mahle filters as they were available at Rock Auto.
But question, how on earth do you get the filter out the housing!? Looks like there are 5 screws...

Thank you, super late to the party but finally made it haha

Thank you.
As someone with very little experience, I would agree. The E46 is very approachable to work on but yeah, I had my Indy do the rear wheel bearings haha I didn’t want those problems!

After 3 different orders, 2 cancellations and 1 lost package I finally received my Bosch alternator. I had the oval connector in my car which has proven quite difficult to find. Ultimately was able...
Yep still have the factory single DIN headunit and playing music through bluebus

Completed the bavsound install today.
Thoughts: definitely a plug and play kit but took some finagling to get the additional wiring tucked out of the way. Rears much easier than the fronts on a...
I’m just ignoring the gap for the moment haha
I’ll probably get around to checking the part number on it eventually. I’m hoping it’s a coupe part.

Updates: with the 6 speed swap came the mod bug.
Took advantage of the bavsound Black Friday sale and went ahead and impulse purchased a brand new Gruppe M intake from vivid racing. Super excited...
I ordered the correct part. Didn’t look to see if they sent me the correct part. I guess I should take it out and verify

Put in the aluminum M dead plate.
After the 6 speed swap, I believe my ZHP is finally worthy!

It doesn’t quite...
It is everything! The 6 speed and the VANOS refresh make this an entirely different car from the one I bought.
This was one of the first things I wanted to do when I first purchased the car! A 6 speed trans swap!
I had to drive up to DC to get it done but this is the only person I'd trust to do something...
I was initially against coilovers just because I didn't want the extra complication but I suppose I should reevaluate my reasoning.
What top mount are you running for camber adjustments?

Replaced the starter, injectors at 174xxx miles after she wouldn't start. It sat for about 2-3 months until I finally decided to just tow it to the Indy. DIY work under the intake manifold just...
She lives! After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back!
Things completed:
Rebuilt VANOS with OEM solenoids
G.A.S OEM DISA
Spark plugs with VCG
Coolant pipes under intake manifold
CCV system

Yeah not sure why there’s a fight but it seems purely cosmetic and I never really switch to the other options so no big deal.
Ah yes, the trim…It’s. So.expensive! Thankfully I only need one after...

Update:
Got the bluebus to work as intended and managed to clean up all the wiring mess I had with the iPod adapter. I used this tool to release the clips in the radio harness. ...
Well its been a bit of a headache getting everything working properly. Didn't realize my ZHP had the iPod adapter installed, which can really mess with things so I'm still working on getting that...
Yes! Biggest qualm with the E46 was the lack of Bluetooth functionality. If I get to experience what everyone else has, I will be a happy boy!...
Should be. I've had 2 wheels replaced now brand new OEMs and had them installed at a tire shop so they should be good to go.
I guess I could go and get everything rebalanced as that's not much...
Well feels pretty good so far but I getting a high frequency vibration at speed on the hwy. I'm thinking my wheel bearings are toast. I also have some cupping on my tires per the bmw tech but I'm not...
