Shirk's E46 M3 Build List
Ahh I finally found an E46 M3 after a multi-year hunt! Granted it was the cheapest, highest milage (192K) coupe with a true manual in the country but it was a great deal due to needing literally all the major maintenance. I picked this up as a COVID fire sale special where the guy needed to off load it for some quick cash.
Immediately did subframe reinforcement, rod bearings, vanos and fluids all around before starting in on any modifications.
It's true what they say... you either buy a 10-15K E46 M3 and put 15K into it or buy a 30K finished one right off the bat and enjoy it.
