E46 M3 - Gallery

[JsyM3]

It's always interesting to see what people have done to their cars. (Often the rarest ones are those that remain unmolested!!)

So post up your pics with a summary of your mods (if any) so we can all appreciate your efforts and create a gallery for the lovely E46 M3.

I know it's poor form to start a gallery without a photo but mine will follow after it's had a good going over this weekend

Wheels refurbished in a light shade of shadow chrome. That is the only exterior mod...I like the OEM look.
Most of the money I have spent on the car has been mechanical (engine oil change, gearbox oil, diff oil, bushes etc). SSK short shift kit with weighted M performance gear knob and steering wheel redone by Royal Steering Wheels.

CSL wheels / boot.

Front splitter??
Are you running spacers with the CSL's? - OEM or reps?

Looks stunning but I'm not sure I could live with such a bold colour. Much happier in my Silver Grey

It doesn't look that blue most of the time, but when it's clean and the sun is out I think it looks great.

15mm spacers all round on reps from m3cutters. Not sure what the splitter is, I didn't put it on - about to take it off as it's rather worn.

Oh, it's lowered on hartge springs too.

Less blue:

Standard other than APs and AST coilovers



Very much not standard

Terrible thread.... Love the e46 m3 so I now need to go look in the classifieds lol

Eibach springs, 330 Clubsport gear knob, facelift LED rear lights and a GSR airbox. Other than that it's OEM poverty spec on 18s, no sun roof. No fluff and no added weight

Haha, I came across this video whilst using Youtube to convince myself to pull the trigger on buying my M3 back in January.
Thankfully I live near a 300 yrd tunnel so I get to enjoy that aspect of M3 ownership on a daily basis!

I'm convinced it's how the chaps at M would want it too

Here's my old poverty spec M3 exiting the hairpin at Bedford autodrome. My only modifications were a bit of weight removal from the back of the car and a more aggressive geo set-up:

The nicest one here so far imo - really don't like the 'cutters specials (CSL reps, smoked lights, black kidney grills etc).

Not many OEM ones left I reckon.
