So far I have my eyes on 3 E46's, all of them are Coupe...

    So, it's in great shape, and I paid very little for it, I'm quite happy with it. The previous owner was an actual little old lady who mostly drove around suburbs. Engine was factory recalled with 50K miles, now it's at 161K and running well. The good: no leaks! nothing is dripping anywhere, the...

    Hey everyone, I'm happy to finally post after being only a reader on this forum for more than a year. It all started when my friend @Inlajnsiksbenzin bought his first E46 323i.

    Hi. Pretty new here! Myself and I'm sure many others out there have been dying to find any tunes or anything for the MS42 (preferably for a 328i with an m52b28tu.🤣) maybe with some burbles or pops, I can't find anything to play with, (the MS4X exhaust mods didn't work for me for some reason.)...

    I have a 2000 328i auto and I recently got a 2004 320i manual. I was looking to swap my engine into the manual car. Is it a direct fit or would I need to get other parts for a 328i? If so what parts would I need? Let me know. Thanks
