your accent is fantastic :D ,vrey underrated channel

I honestly don't care about a couple of hp left or right, the sound of those open intakes is just amazing. I'm on the fence about purchasing a GruppeM for my E46 330i, but they're a bit unobtainable here in mainland Europe.

Every one of these guys from downundah makes me want to move. I want to hang out at this dudes shop and just talk.

that Aussie sun hasn't been kind.

Loving your videos! Keep it up :)

Just got a 323ci to start a project buy it for pretty cheap drive it home left her parked 4 days and boom no reverse motor on or off no reverse 💀💀💀💀

Great video and solid tips. I spent month searching for the correct E46. any car with personal modification and "performance mods" i skipped and last week just bought an e46. I'm gonna throw shit tons of money at it. cause imma keep it forever !! :D such a great car.

Really helpful channel waiting on your return. Plus you were getting more views as in comparison to older videos meaning you were starting to gain traction.

Hi there great video help. So a single mass steel flywheel for everyday driving would offer better drivability less chatter etc if Im hearing right Thanks in advance

no issues with vanos is the 2.5l right do you have custom tune ?

MR.... I LIKE YOUR STYLE

It's not cheaper considering you have to buy the whole kit for this swap, and then god knows where to buy replacement clutch disks for your specific kit...

do you know if a worn out vanos will cause massive misfires at low rpms? like if you goose the throttle at low rpms, it instantly misfires, from around 1500 to 2500rpms, but if you let off throttle and goose it again it stops..

Best explanation ever

Another great video Michael. You were able to clearly articulate a concept and demonstrate a process that many just turn into a confusing mess. I was worried whether my VANOS unit was at risk as my beloved E46 M3 Convertible is approaching 200,000 Km, but after this, I know what to listen for. I am undertaking many of the more basic maintenance tasks, but the BMer is booked in to Sourthern BMW in Melbourne early next month for rod bearings and engine mounts and a full health check. I will then progress the resulting work list as I plan to keep the street legal race car till I drop off the perch and then they can bury me in it…….. Love your work!!! Love learning about E46. Thank you.

Boring old (78) long retired pom mechanic here; too many years in the trade who did time on Alfa, Jaguar, and Ferrari in UK and Canada. Worked with many Oz and NZ mechanics over the years who were all great. Now I'm the proud owner of a mint X5 3.0 2005 (209k kms) with a vibration problem which is definitely drive shaft related. However, the fix also boils down to a question of technique. Hitting wrenches (ok, spanners) with a hammer and inter-linking wrenches for more leverage are definite no-no's and can result on tools flying across the shop floor and opening up of wrench jaws. Not at all recommended. Boring old pom mechanic....

I don't think I've ever seen a filter comparison where Hengst didn't end up on the highest top. Top three filter manufacturers in my eyes are: no.1 Hengst, no.2 Mahle, no.3 Mann Filters. (However, I experience Mann a bit like a falling star. I no longer have 100% faith in their quality. Hengst is in a different league in comparison).

Really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. By chance, I have a Turner power pulley pack and belts about to be delivered. Thanks for the great advice - once again.

Thank you for this great channel. I have the brass bleed screw and magnetic sump and diff plug bolts. I plan to implement your other recommendations. Great to see another Aussie E46 lover, who seems very knowledgeable indeed. Keep up the great work. I am a fan and have subscribed to your channel. I am looking into the Stuart water pump as it was not clear if they have a model for the 2003 BMW E46 M3 Convertible? I have just started conducting work on my E46 and look forward to learning much more from your channel. Thank you.

i have a leave from the vanos cover after replacing the valve cover gasket. any idea what that could be?

The later in generations of the engines in BMWs not only have variable valve timing, but also variable valve lift

A lot of the link seem not working please have a look. My is 325ci 2005 :) 200k thank you

man really did walk away

I was looking for the dipstick tube, but searching my persons left me empty handed.

Omfgosh you talk so fucking much. " here is how to check if your disa valve works ... goes off fucking course begins blabbing. Doesnt show physically how to check

come back soon :(

i like you and your information,thanks for uploading...much love mate

I was always taught that if you bleed on a job it's a job well done ;) .... badass :)

My 330ci is garaged during winter months and continuously drips oil even though I haven't started the car in 5 months. Ive never addressed the oil pan gasket, the CCV or Dip stick o ring. Logic tells me the leak would have to be below the oil level. Is the passenger side of the oil pan gasket below the oil level where the pan meets the block? Could the dipstick o ring be my likely culprit?

G'day mate which supersprint system did you go with , trying to decide which , aftermarket replacement to go with

As usual, another excellent presentation with all the info and none of the time-wasting nonsense. Thank you! I went on the Rock Auto website and as you went through each item I found them available with multiple suppliers for each part and the prices are fair. I have used Rock Auto for the past couple of years and they are top notch with quick delivery times. They service the US and, maybe, Canada. Overseas orders may be possible, I really don't know but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Happy the first thing you said was brakes, cause I needa get my brakes done & get a new abs sensor lol

Damn sexy rims.. i throwed also an eye on apex. ♥

I really want to install them on my E46, but everything I'm reading says spacers are not legal in any state in Australia. It says your rego and insurance will all be void, meaning you are liable for all and any damages in any crash situation and are basically driving an unregistered car. Anyone have any info to the contrary?

If I do Billstein b8 can you recommend good springs to lower on ?

Don't cut the MAF sensor line. All you have to do is remove the plastic box all the wires route, cover all the wires that are then exposed, and you get much more length and it helps make it possible without splicing stuff.

👍

This man acts like I have 20k in my bank... I love these quality mods, but damn I'll have to save a lot of money for at least 1 of these mods (apart from the nut and wire lol) Much love from Texas, I usually come back to this exact video to remind myself of what I want to upgrade.

Hello. Buddy, how much Power u got with all upgrades, before installing SC

Just a question, but why u didnt use a Manual, for tighteting force and also dynorachet?

What jacks do you use ?

If I could double like I would 👍
