Two big crashes into Jersey granite will do that

Messaged a friend about it. Turns out his boss used to own it and it was in 2 massive crashes and pulled straight on a jig.

Nice £12-14k car that

I know the car.

Don't be tempted. It was a tarted up hound when it left the island maybe 5 years ago and I doubt it has got any better since

Out of interest, how far out where they on the data sheet supplied by injector tune?

Richard if you were't a bellend/troll you might get some answers.

Rav is your man from the Birmz massive

It looks like it's never going to fit, but it does. You need to raise the box up a bit to get it on the mounts. Tell the garage if one came out, one can go back in

Well it's now going in for a heavily insurance subsidised full respray. The paint isn't great so instead of having a patchwork quilt of repairs etc, it's all getting done.

Thank you Mr Taxi Driver

P1ss off my thread rich318i. Another useless comment.

So I've had the car back from Dan's a few weeks now. Anyone who is thinking of an e46 m3 I highly recommend taking it to Dan. He even made me a coffee when I picked it up :D So here are the cracks Dan found: http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/ross_jsy/8FD12526-2B72-4F66-B5B3-836775DD5274_zpsup3q...

It's a fair old job. Battery tray/boot pockets are different.

At the end of the day, you would spend a lot of money and effort and have a mongrel on your hands.

You can grind down the sump so it clears the m20 flywheel.

But I would personally machine the flywheel. Good chance to lighten to 6kg as well.

It's just springs and shocks.

I would go for Bilstein b6's (b8's would be a little on the firm side imo) on a cab with eibach's or H&R's. And m3 lollipop bushes are worthwhile while you are at it.

Why do you want to adjust the camber/castor on a cab

I've probably drilled more of those out than I've successfully removed them

OP in banned troll rich318 who used to ask the same boring questions about b30's before getting a life ban. Wouldn't waste your time posting in this

Rav is being a little b1tch because I bought reps. They weren't cheap, that's for sure. I can't believe how light the whole set up is, especially given their size. Seems to be a lot of over priced turds out there. I viewed 2 a while back and they were both utter dogs. This one isn't spotless, but th...

Hurry up Dan, I'm getting excited to install these :D http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/ross_jsy/5F9611E1-140D-4053-9B8C-978253D1489B_zpsdhtly16s.jpg Also bought a carbon airbox for it this evening. The ECU will be getting converted to full CSL spec and a MAP sensor used, non of this Alpha N li...

These should stop it. Second picture is the disc sat in an e30 BBS

Please stop calling it a date. I've told you multiple times now, we are NOT sharing a hotel room, especially after your behaviour in the hot tub when you stayed at mine!

They do go a lot better than a 320i. They aren't fast by any stretch of the imagination but are certainly fun.

320's do suit cabs though

Cheers Barry, that's what I meant by pump. F00k paying BMW £2,500+ for one when it seems the pumps don't really fail, just the motor. After doing some reading, apparently it's very common and caused by the temp sensor sitting so close to the exhaust/engine and picking up a false reading. Wiring a re...

Very nice. I keep having the urge to get rid of my E46 330i and buy myself an M3. Where do you for a long drive in Jersey? There's some fantastic driving roads over here. Also the road network is very dense so it's easy to spend an afternoon driving around and not seeing the same road twice. Buy on...

If I sent that to Dan, my bill is going to at least double!

Gert has enough suspicious stains to worry about without the added hassle of coffee spills

Gaz are shite. BC's seem good for the money. My mate has used them for 2 years and loves them. Still look new whereas Gaz look titanic spec after 6 months

All e46's. The more powerful models seem to suffer the worst but it can afflict a 316i.

I've been chatting to Dan about him reinforcing it as can be seen in this thread:

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=267504

So been on the frag hunt today. Picked up a boot lid as the paint on mine isn't great, a spoiler as it was de-optioned from factory and it looks a bit too 330i from the back, non corroded roof rails, head unit with no dead pixels and a non-bled rear view mirror with the red dome in tact. He also has...

Every home should have one

Cheers Barry, very helpful! Today I finished polishing and waxed it: http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/ross_jsy/5958C1A2-6274-4F6E-849C-65FCDC3ADF40_zpszobrrne9.jpg All clean bar the interior: http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/ross_jsy/6B0178C3-97E6-4C5D-B514-98DF1F4DAE19_zpsfkafmfia.jpg A...

It leaves a bit to be desired, but the Haynes manual 1948 with a maroon cover would be worth investing in Great Scott! What foresight of the chaps at Haynes must have had to write that :D Welcome Luke, I can't think of an easier engine to do the timing belt on than an m20, great way to learn some s...

(Double post)

Going to turn this into a bit of an ownership thread and keep it update with work done etc. So today I went and bought a load of cleaning products and a pressure washer. The car was filthy, especially after taking it out last night for a long drive. http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd7/ross_jsy/98...

So spoke to my tame parts guy up at the local BMW dealer, I've ordered front and rear BMW badges, a rear m3 badge, dealer plates, the little flip up lid ahead of the gearstick that gets scratched to shit, and the lower plastic part of the steering wheel under the horn as it's looking worn. I've also...

DanThe should be able to offer some advice

No idea, username of drakesmith? But apparently I'm second guessing you and I'm a tit
