After the one found in the Z3, Z8 and E46 M3 -

Trying to get one of my loans back from BMW at the moment - maybe I need to start charging rental 😅😅😅 they’ve had it for over a year now, I wonder if they’ve lost it!

Good used condition E46 M3 Vanos unit. For S54B32 engine I was told it came off an engine with around 70k km before it was converted to fixed cam timing for racing. Have had it for numerous years and kept as a spare. Was intending on doing a rebuild to it but never got around to it. Includes oil pump disc and vanos MCU No pressure regulator valve $800 0212810155

Armstrong in East Tamaki can cut them it’s considered a 4 side cut so expect to pay 4x the cost of a normal key. I have blanks and chips if you need them.

A no options CSL is 1385kg corner weight scale checked. Your aircon and radio versions are around 1405kg. 1570kg is actually the BMW quoted number and I have seen them on scales much heavier (over 1600kg) The amount of bespoke items that went into making the e46 M3 CSL light is mind blowing and till this day we are still discovering items that weren’t listed correctly in the ETK or official documents that were implemented to shave a few kgs here and there.

Common misconception 1570kg - 1385kg it’s 185kg weight savings. The M4 CSL is merely one via marketing, I am more interested when the real deal CSL Hommage is released with all of its genuine weight saving strategy and manual gearbox and rear wheel drive. Just a shame it’s so limited and so expensive. And when you have to resort to this type of marketing to sell a car a manufacturer really has lost the plot on what Motorsport stands for🤷🏻♂️ IMG_3012.MOV

Porsche 992 GT3 - 1418kg This is not a CSL - I rest my case.

Brand new BMW Tyre pressure sensors. Fit multiple cars I believe from 1 series all the way to X cars. Had to get one for my X6 but ended up buying a set. No longer have the car but have 3 sensors left. All brand new not used. $50 each

Watch the vanos work videos from fayboys garage on youtube from about 3 years ago Perhaps the best videos I have seen for these work better than Beisan’s instructions Also you want to check the pin needle bearing for the oil pump disc - people think the failure is the result of disc and hub tolerance issues - not 100% true.

Genuine used M3 CSL battery. Few years old. See photos for detail $100 brand new they are $350?

Why would carbon roof be an issue?

I like to think of the smg gearbox as an unfinished manual gearbox because that’s essentially what it is. The bell housing is slightly different in terms of machining for certain additional components but the main gearbox is the same sans a gear position sensor (not needed for conversion) and different tension springs for gear indent (again you can keep the smg ones) and you need to add bell housing detents (holes already there) it’s just drilling through. You can fit a manual gearbox to a smg car snd vice versa. They are identical just finished differently.
