E46 330 Track Car Advice

[GreenLightMS]

Hi All,

New to this forum and was looking at some help and advice for buying a 330 E46 car to run on track days. I've got a budget of around £4K and would appreciate any pointers in what to look out for in terms of mileage, mods etc. Are there any things to avoid?

Any pointers on suspension, brakes and tyre upgrades would be useful too.

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys, some fantastic advice there.

I think I'll be looking for something pretty standard to start with instead of something that's already had work done. How do the higher mileage engines cope with track use?

I'll give the mentioned threads a browse as well. Cheers

I've been looking into the rear subframe problems with the E46. Is it mainly an M3 problem or is it the same on all models?

Also, when looking for cracks etc. is it the frame itself that cracks, or around the mounting points? There seems to be several reinforcement kits out there which seem reasonably priced but i'd want a pro to do the work. Does anyone have any experience of the cost of installation by a garage?

thanks
