Gave my E46 M3 some love - Forgstar/BBK (pics)

Thought I would share my M3 with the F30 guys... orig owner back in 2004.

It was time to clean her up a bit and make some modifications...

Eventuri intake
Forgestar F14s
StopsTechs
Go back to stock exhaust - larger tips of course


Still one of my favorite cars to drive.

Thanks guys.

Love the brakes.. Thing stops on a dime.

Weight reduction in rotation mass was quite noticeable. Very happy with the results.

Wonder if the E46s m3s will ever start to appreciate in value. I would imagine it's getting close to hitting rock bottom? Either-way, never selling her!

Very nice, especially the brakes. 6 pistons in the front - correct?

4 I believe!

ST-40s front and rear - that's one of the recommend setup for this car per stop tech..

Yup.

Vividly remember walking into the back of the dealership and it had plastic covers on the seats...

It's not worth much but emotionally it means a lot to me. I made the choice many years ago to keep it forever.

Really helps that I have a heated man cave "big ass storage unit" 5 minutes my house that can hold 8-9 cars. So it's never in the way and it's safe and always out of elements.

Only seen rain a handful of times lol

It's a classic car for me.
