lol I believe you :-) I think i'll limit my self to simpler stuff on my 318i. Then maybe in a couple of years when I'm 25 the insurance company will let me get a 330i or something Thanks all

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments :-) that answers what I was wondering :-) I just didn't know how much of the drivetrain was the same... from what you say not much Cheers

Thanks for you comment but not really what I was wanting to know... I wasn't actually wanting other people's opinions on what is and isn't a real car... I would however appreciate any comments on the the question I asked originally :-) Cheers

Hi all, I know that this is a pretty general question, but any comments are appreciated. I'm just wondering what is involved in swapping out an M43 (1.9L) and putting an M54 (2.2 or 2.5L) into an E46. What else would need to be changed apart from the engine? Will the transmission (auto) and suspension etc. hold up or are they different for the larger engined E46's? Cheers

G'day :-), I have an E46 318i 2000 (2002 face-lift) and I'm wondering what material the exhaust tip is on standard E46 318's. To my non-expert eyes it looks a bit like stainless though I would be surprised if it was. If anyone knows I'd greatly appreciate getting a reply (I've spent time on google and couldn't find anything). Cheers, Matt

Hi All, I'm interested in getting an E46 320i, I was wondering if anyone has any input/advice regarding this vehicle. I am pretty new to BMW's but I really like this car and would appreciate any feedback. Many Thanks, Karter16
