@@41956 that even better

Yeah thanks

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated!🙂

@@Sixty4motorsport Just so u know. You came up in my “suggestions”! That’s great! Hope more people find your channel the same way.

😀@@sillen3000 Thanks for the feedback, extremely helpful and great to know.

I know what you're saying about oiling. If you do it correctly it is NOT a 5 minute job, more like a few hours to let the element dry properly and to allow time for oil to evenly soak around the element. That being said K & N, for example, suggest that it only needs to be done once or twice per year.

Great Point. My E46 like most has a sunroof so I am planning at this stage of removing and installing a delete panel. So many things I have to do!!

Keep an eye out. I have a complete vid coming soon on intakes.🙄

It's something I will have to work on...

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah done front and rear strut tower reinforcement plates, and strut brace. Never had a problem with cracking a set of drilled rotors though, but like the suggestion about the 330 brakes👍

K&N CAI is a downgrade from the stock airbox, the only aftermarket intake I would ever even think about replacing the stock airbox with for my daily would be the Dinan one.

Does that mean I have to ditch the 5 stack CD player? Guess I'll put it next to the Tape Deck!😀

@@Sixty4motorsport unfourtunately yes but it’s worth it👌

I also have a 325i sedan, It's a nice fun first car. My suggestion is, do a lot research, search for common issues and get ready to work on it, if u don't want to spend a lot of money taking it to a shop. Also, keep in mind that you'll have to do preventative maintenance since it's a 20 year old bmw.

Great first car, keep following your dreams!😇

@@mr_-ken_9609 thanks man I will keep this is mind

@@Sixty4motorsport thank you this video made me want to get one even more

I’m also looking for one my dad says he’ll help me buy it as long as I pay for the gas and mods

I don't know....but it might be a cool build project?🤔

I think it would make a really cool build. I've always wanted an R32 GTR sedan, and plan to build one because they were also never manufactured as a sedan.

Thank you number 1000, and that you to the other 999 that have liked my video. Yeah!😎

@@Sixty4motorsport always! And thankyou for the videos! I actually have an 03 bmw 325i e46. It is not the M version but ive been doing a bit of research and i have my motor all torn apart and i want to get it to push 500HP and ive seen alot of people say it is not possible! Could you please help me with a guide on where to start to get it up there? Idk where t9 find the parts i need to get the horsepower i want. Money is not an issue i just cant find what i need anything helps 🙏

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate your input. Can I just respond? (Actually not a question; sorry!) Re tyres (we spell with a 'y' in Aus), I deliberately did not mention the tyre choice because I find it to be really personal. For example, I have run Bridgestones on numerous cars over the years and not once found them to my liking, (even though a few of my mates recommend them). Since I made this vid, I have installed Hankook RS4's despite the fact I have never had these before. So trying something new. Re - the cone filter / MAF probs. In over 40 years of using oiled filters on numerous cars and motorbikes, I have never had an issue with the oil from the filter causing problems with other components in the intake. If you have used so much oil on the filter that it is be sucked into the MAF, it is not a filter problem but rather an oil application problem and the oil has not been used according to the instructions. So the 'NOOB' mistake is applying too much oil to the filter, and not choosing an oiled unit. I once again thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment and raise your concerns. All the best Michael Taylor

Yes, I understand. Hopefully soon I can make some videos showing more.

Downpipe/decat and softwaretuning

Anyways. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Lol nothing like an m3 in anyway at all

Hi Juan, Thanks for the question. I have little to experience with the AWD E46. I can say this though - There is lowering, and there is LOWERING.I would think that if you were installing a lowering kit from a reputable company like Bilstein, H & R etc, that you should have no problem. If you were wanting to lower more than the 'Off the Shelf' suspension kits then you are going to run into issues with altering the roll height too much which is going to have an adverse effect on you suspension geometry, which could be the cause of the feedback or reviews that you've read about axle issues. I would speak directly with the people who know best, and contact on the suspension companies like Bilstein and talk to them about what you want to do. They should be able to advise you about any other modifications that you may have to make in order to get the set up you want. I am always wary about Forums and the like because the bad reviews you see could be the result of poor installation, or other pre existing suspension problems that were on the car before they installed the new suspension. Hope this helps, and could luck with your build, love to hear how you go. Michael Taylor

Drive faster? No seriously, depends how much faster? Quicker than stock or "suck your head to the head rest" fast. Other than your standard headers, exhaust and intake mods, you can change diff ratio's, or go forced induction.

Should be!

Great question - thank you! I have installed after market pod filters on to various cars over the years and while you can install without doing a tune, re tuning the engine after installing any aftermarket accessory like filter, exhaust, etc. will be beneficial.

@@Sixty4motorsport Thank you !

Pretty much the Non M variants. 320, 325 330.😬

3.38 differential

turbo probably, ecu tune idk

Turbo or supercharge

Start with maintenance. Get all that sorted while you think about what you want!

@@Sixty4motorsport advise. My expiration tank exploded. Car overheated and the hot air was blowing cold just before it overheated. Do I just replace water pump and thermostat

An M3 engine can be used, but the prices of those are insane! Just get a m54b28 or something similar. ECU and engine from the M3 will be too expensive for it to be worth it, rather just buy a new car then

This guy is just giving us bulshit. Starting with this intake. Fist of all, it is not taking air just throughout that small flat side ,but more from the top right side of the front of the air box. Second, if you will switch to pod filter, you will need a soft tune, cose you will run so f ..king lean. All this gay people start making videos, about changing things to your car ,that have very little idea, about what they say. :( :( :(

The oil in the aftermarket filter can make the Mass Air Flow sensor dirty so iam not really convinced in upgrade the airfilter. Ill keep it stock version. But thanks for the video anyway, kind regards stefan

@@zfloz9895 soft tune 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 running lean 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 nobody knows what they are talking about... Yall need to shut up

Sure, why not. Best way through Facebook messenger. @sixty4motorsport

Yep. The E46 BMW has a 325I model variant which relates to the engine size. If you search Wikipedia BMW E46, it gives an accurate break down of all the model variants that were produced and the corresponding engine sizes.

Thanks for the question. The Intake I show in this vid is the Magnum FORCE Pro 5R Stage 2 Air Intake System. You can check the specifications and options at ECS Tuning, which is where I bought mine.

@@Sixty4motorsport thank you so much

If you go to the Supersprint website, enter your cars details and it will list the options available. It will even tell you what connects to what. Supersprint sell in the individual sections so you'll want a front, mid and rear.

@@Sixty4motorsport thanks I’ll take a look 👍

Damn 🥲

Have you heard of the Gruppe M intake for the e46? I thinks that's a valid option as well

@@ericgutierrez812 ya it's cool and pretty- but performance increase is negligible, on stock engines of course. I was talking to a 40 year bmw tech for 30 minutes about this subject. he trained in germany and owns his own porshe/ bmw shop that's considered one of the best in the country.

Possible ICV needs cleaning... or a bad coil/spark.

Get a code reader

Interesting.....

Yeah it was me. But there is a legit context to that video.

If you follow the correct procedure you will NOT have any MAF probs.
