[@lstagere4672]

This is one of my favorite builds you have ever done! My first and current car is a 2004 325xi with a 5 speed. This build just keeps me dreaming what I could do with my E46 and I love that ♥️♥️

[@TheoXydias_PerlaCoffeeTrailer]

Thats like a childhood dream come true. That first car came out dope as hell. Also put a 316i badge on the back.

[@drew_callaway7164]

I remember the e46 being my dream car when I was watching the webisodes. And I remember the day you got the 335i and when I saw the white on red I fell in love. I love to see the e46 back!

[@alexrodriguezrx7]

Adam at the 10:02 mark check out the spark jump as soon as he let off. Facing the engine to the right of the valve cover, fuel rail, harness area. You can see the spark jump.

[@salahnaeem984]

The way the rpms just kept climbing and climbing looked soo cool

[@dingdong7986]

one of the best thing about an e46 m3 they scream also its crazy the amount of speed they are geared for i remember doin 135-140 in mine in 4th gear 3rd gear would do 90

I love Jordan because he looks and sounds like a scary New Yorker, but he is the most adorable and caring person.

[@ErenJaeger13]

yall and jordan have a real cool friendship, it's nice seeing you guys working together

[@biglefty08]

Adam go with the F10 M5 shifter, it's a clean OE upgrade from the stock baseball bat style shifter on the e46 🤙🏽 I got it on my M3 and it's stupid clean

[@MikeOrkid]

I was hoping to get one more drift hq video if the build before the big debut. Probably my favorite of all of your cars. It's simple and relatable to majority of us.

Sick build, love an s54 turbo. You've gotta deffo do the m3 arches and m3 rear bumper. Don't think I've ever seen a sedan with proper m3 conversion. Would look sick. Love you videos bro. With you on the crackle tune, can't stand that crap lol. When you've gotta a proper engine build like yours they sound sick anyway with natural bangs and flames. Will be sick when you turn the boost up.

[@rickarnoud5770]

Sick car adam love that! its a such a awesome feeling to own that exact car again, with all those good memories raging the shit out of it, and chillin at the mac donalds parking with the homies, we all have owned that one car, what a era iam getting old! I really miss that shit, now i have bigger priority's 2 child's to feed,a business to run... I did buy back my second car wich was an, boston grun automatic 97 e36 323is a while back, engine was toasted, so i did a manual swap, a stock m54b30 swap, running an decompression head gasket, and custom turbo setup thing reall fly's, i love it, iam never ever gonna sell it again!

[@von...]

I am so close to buying back my OG E46 325xi to do the same :) I blew the motor money shifting it when I was 17, so it already has a M54b30 swap that I got for the low-low back in the day. Hopefully the kid I sold it to didnt total it with all that *crazy* extra 30 hp haha. I still have his info & plan to hit him up after the winter.

Damn reminds me of my 2000 E46 323i (same Steel Grey ) I-had bought brand new waited 6 months for it to com fro Germany fully Dinan it as soon as I got it then need more power they didn’t make a four-door E46 ///M3 so i swapped the engine to 328 with the ZHP cams and super charged with a ASA Supercharger way back in 2004. It still runs today all I did was put bigger injectors a bigger pulley fuel pressure regulator and Apexi fuel controller and it runs phenomenal off the stock ECU.
