Dare I ask what this is going to stand you cost wise? Would have been a hell of a lot cheaper just to go and buy an 05+ 4.6l GT Mustang
Aprox £11k It may have been cheaper to buy something else but whatever I bought would have had tired suspension/brakes etc & would have been the same as everybody else's I love E46's this is my 3rd one, I had a 56 reg 120d MSport & hated it so did the maths & realised for similar money I could have the car I really wanted ManOpener said:
Cracking car. One question- I always though that the M3 rear had a wider track than the 3xx one? Doesn't appear that way from the images...
Nope they are the same it's the rear wheel offset that's different, mine has 20mm spacers at the rears to make the wheels fill the archesmig25_foxbat2003 said:
That is wicked - I love the standard-ish look. Really really cool project. That badge will confuse some Americans though, as it's technically a 345ci engine...!
Ahh your not first to mention this BUT it's a German car fixed in Birmingham so 3 cause its 3 series, 57 cause it's a 5.7l, C cause it's a coupe & I cause it's injected stuff the yanks

What sort of bhp is it putting out?
It's not been mapped yet so it's 'only' revving to 6100rpm instead of 7000rpm but when it's sorted it should no it had better make 400+bhpM5cheaper Tom said:
Would it not have been to get an E39 M5? They rock side to side as well mate.
I don't know?? I don't think so, also M5 lumps are probably much harder & dearer to tuneTonberry said:
So when are you adding the supercharger?
I'm not!!! I wasn't even going to put a cam in it but bowed to peer pressure! I wanted a car that was really nice to drive & has that factory feel rather than a monster I'm scared to let the better half drive.fishman said:
Wicked project m8! So what sort of BHP is this actually producing? I assume its around the 350bhp mark.....whats the next step? supercharging?
