Here is the list of parts:
- Subframe
- LSD Differential
- Driveshaft
- Halfshafts
- M3 Trailing Arms
- M3 Rotors
- M3 Calipers
- M3 Rear Sway bar
- Correct ABS speed sensors for your car
The control arms and camber arm are identical on the non-M but it is usually just easier to find a full subframe with everything attached.
ABS sensors:
You have an 2004 so you will need the ABS sensors with a blue plug from any other E46 except the 330i Manual. Hopefully your M3 swap will come with them.
Ebrake cables are identical from the non-M so you can just undo them from your existing arm and attach them to the M3 ebrakes.
When I did my swap, I replaced RTABS, Subframe/Diff bushings, Rotors, Drum Shoes, Brake pads and various misc bolts n pieces. I ended up at $2500 or so for the swap but it was almost a complete refresh of the rear end. I'm missing control arm bushings and diff rebuild.
IMO, if you just want a great LSD for track purposes, the aftermarket diffsonline or performancegearing is the way to go. I personally wanted the M3 rear end since I figure in the future I will do an S54 swap. With that in mind, I decided to make it M3 for simplicity.
Turns out my ARC-8s I bought used are bent. Bought them from a guy in bimmerforums.

How much to straighten? Not really the point, but just curious.

Anyone have an easier solution/DIY to the "cricket noise" from the Blower fan? Mine has been doing it more and more as it gets colder and colder and I'm running the heater more...

My brakes are all the sudden squeeking a touch when I come to a slow stop at lights and such.
Pads? Rotors? What are we talking about. Too lazy to google.
Dane come fix it for me
