How To Modify | BMW E46

[@iceashes365]

No way I am thinking on getting an e46 and this banger drops

[@maestro4287]

It's a sign

[@caedmonattenhofer9784]

This is my first ever KZbin comment, just to tell you to do it. It sucks but it's awesome.

same haha

[@lilcrusio4392]

Noooooo way bro!!!!!!

[@vladimeister.]

I think that another thing all E46 owners should get is the BlueBus. Its the absolute best bluetooth solution for these cars and adds steering wheel controls to the OEM steering wheel buttons as well as displaying the current song playing on the head unit.

[@everythingissilver]

You’re a legend

[@Tony-dn8xu]

or u can spend $60 on crutchfield for an aftermarket head unit, which will make your songs sound more clear and crispy, along with fixing ur bluetooth issue. literally what I did and it was the simplest and cheapest way to do it.

[@Zionvvss]

@@Tony-dn8xuwhere at

[@AVMS777]

- Control arm bushings - Subframe bushings - coolant hoses - subframe bushings - vacuum lines - drivetrain bushing and support mounts - valve cover gasket -ofc your oil changes and general maintenance basically anything thats rubber should be replaced and serviced before upgrading/modding! lmk if im missing something

Love my 330. Turns a lot of heads and aged super well.

[@mikmorpheus]

Same with my 330CI and my 325 Limo ^^

[@LemuelMabry]

Recently purchased a 2000 328i and i love the car. Never owned BMW and i love them now.

[@jacobborozco3585]

I have one, too. How would you describe the handling?

[@MikeyBandz400]

Just got a 03 325i 2/3 days ago here in the bay area, Ca in mint condition which is a hard find, i am tge second owner with 120k miles, clean title, carfax, new tires,plugs and wires,radiator,hoses, intake hoses, thermostat, tires etc! Lets hust say for the last 2 days evay and amazon been my bestfriends lol black on black leather guts no rips man cant wait to work on the tuning upgrades and cosmetics

[@SirChad771]

I have a 99 323i M52TU -Alpine White with 71k, automatic and it was one owner and always babied and has all records from BMW from 1999. I always let it warm up and drive it like a grandma I'm happy with this, it will last forever.

[@nightshroud5656]

they need to put E46 is production again with few modern touches as the game publishers remaster the games, just a great car to drive

[@cadet2188]

the point is, no one would buy it. It would probably cost to much for car like e46, and there is no chance, that 20 years old m54 would pass eu emission test

[@LifeLongBruhGamer]

@@cadet2188he's saying for them to remaster it, touch up what felt old in it but still keep its original feel and appeal while meeting modern standards

[@Tony-dn8xu]

@@cadet2188 if people are paying $30k-$40k for a modern 330i, im sure people would spend less for a modern e46

[@sempre6296]

Got mine 2 months ago, underpowered 320i but fun af No regrets at all

[@trinty5339]

I have a 318ci and maybe 143hp are not that much but goddamn is this car fun to drive and that's what matters imo

[@TheRidik]

i got months ago 330d 150kw, nice ride

[@LiveET]

Just got my manual 325i for $2,750. There are absolutely no issues so far drives as fun as my f82!

[@jj481012]

I’ve owned both an E36 and E46 as a daily driver. I’d definitely go with the E46 if you can only pick one car for everything. It’s much more comfortable, the interior doesn’t fall apart (as badly as the E36), and it’s actually pretty quick compared to regular traffic (in 330ci spec). Obviously try to get a manual, but if you can only afford the auto it still handles amazing and the engine sounds glorious with the right exhaust. The car still puts a smile on my face after two years.

[@Hopsukka]

Dude... This car puts a smile on my face after 20 years. I still choose E46 over a typical modern car.

[@anthonyosorio7179]

What exhaust would you recommend?

[@jj481012]

@@anthonyosorio7179 my E36 had a magnaflow which sounded good. The E46 had a straight pipe when I bought it. Sounds a little bland, so if I was getting a new exhaust I’d get something closer to a magnaflow with a resonator

[@glennpotter8983]

I bought a pristine e46 recently 👌🏼I love that car

[@BMW.e46.Carplay]

[@dogman9558]

I have a 330xi with zhp cams and a 2005 330i. Both have 6 speeds. Make sure you check the vacuum and ccv! There's also an o ring on the dipstick and a line on the intake that are common areas for failure on these old cars.

[@curtisdickson6277]

Always had a soft spot for these. And wow do they still look hella good.

[@driver_18]

How perfect of a moment you guys are building up on this. Just got a 330ci 5spd manual and have been enjoying the build. Just might get some wheels from you guys soon!

[@fazer3dd]

I just got a 2005 330i and I’m so happy with it already the motor makes a lil sound sometimes but after all the research I’ve done it seems like the best choice possible for the price I paid for it $1000 cad

[@thisguyshorty]

Sadly my 323ci coupe E46 got more recognition than my current 135i E82. Still have an E46 in the stable though.

[@jdrifts5938]

I have 320ci since 1 and a half year. Underpowered but insane fun, especially in touges and some illegal stuff😂. If you want a fun car, this is perfect. If you want a daily, don't do it. Don't get me wrong, I daily mine & it never left me stranded, but its old, sealings are giving up, wind becomes louder, if you are on coils like me u feel every bump, its noisy af in there. So city/touge fun driver - perfect. Daily highway - ass

[@sheldonxwilliams]

Every E46 I owned, first thing I do is replace clutch fan with electric, change out coolant hoses with silicone, plastic expansion tank for aluminum and many more other things to ensure I'm not stranded lol

[@SageBailey-vu4bx]

About to get my first e46 330 on Monday honestly excited to build this car

[@sp3gg]

Love the vid 🔥🔥🔥 Chevy Volt video is gonna be !!!!!!!FIRE!!!!!!!!!!

[@FELIPE8226M]

Love my E46

[@albert-rn6wp]

I bought a manual 330i around April of last year. It had 118*** miles when I bought it. It’s still my daily driver up to this date. I’ve only had to replace the fuel pump. I bought the part used for $60 and put it myself. I love these cars. Don’t believe all the hype that bmw will break down always and cost you thousands to repair. The e46 is my favorite car I’ve had so far, just take care of it and it won’t fall apart on you, just like any other cars.

[@PieterPretorius-fx1jh]

Love my 320d 2001 251000 km on clock and still goes strong

[@Podcasts430]

I am so glad I bought mine last year prices about to go up

[@ovaca16]

Just bought an e46 last week and I find this oowee

[@BMW.e46.Carplay]

Before 3 weeks i got a e46 325i 2003 with low miles on it and no rust i think its time to upgrade this old bmw

[@cameronscotty3671]

2:45 is crazy work alex

[@NatVirgo]

First mods are subframe reinforcements and rod bearings 🗣️🔥

[@alexfrye3637]

If your e46 has suspension issues then you have a nicer Crown Victoria 6cyl. that’s hopefully manual. Not a 350z lol.

[@RealityRenegade-bv2ww]

Brah, that shyt was lame. You must be 12. What do YOU drive, lil dude?

[@Cody.Ledbetter]

Personally I love my 323i e46. Underpowered? yes. Does that mean you have to drive with your foot on the floor to have fun? also yes. But that's what makes it so fun!

[@nathanmuller2933]

I've got a shitbox e46. Starting my mods on it. Thanks for the tips

[@KindaKyle36]

All an E46 M3 needs is bigger brakes that don't affect the car's corner weight. Maybe wheels.
