Check your RTABs

Sounds like it needs some work. Check the RSM's and RTABs as well. The diff does have a clunk when driving slow and taking turns (like figure 8 move), but you've got other sounds there as well. I...

Just had my seal replace this summer. If the leak is on the same side as the exhaust, it's a PITA. I had mine done at Turner Motorsport. Great work while you wait.

As I said, it's perfectly normal. To put yourself at ease, make sure your fluids are full (should be up to bottom of upper diff fluid hole) and seals are not leaking. At low speeds doing figure 8's...

hmmmm... The e46 is less sophisticated and much more raw. That is the appeal. The e9x is more sterile. Clearly 'better' is relative with regards to these cars.

Absolutely normal. The limited slip diff has adjusting mechanical bits in it and they (like the valve train) are loud sometimes. Are you using aftermarket diff fluid?

I've been daily driving my 02 ///M3 for years now. It does get expensive with winter tires and more miles. That's why we buy these cars though isn't it?

3. why are you attracted physically/emotionally to the M3?: The muscular lines and the rawness of the operation. It's mechanical music. It also has a great 'look'.
