sounds like maybe it dropped a valve into the cylinders?? did the engine have a bit of a tick to it previously , could have a had a worn camshaft lobe which will cause the vlave to shut very fast and then the head of the valve will snap off eventually

if some one needs a spare . not mine . http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-360815063.htm

i would go this way , then go and see gavin at hi-velocity for a retune/remap etc http://store.vacmotorsports.com/miller----...chip-p2468.aspx http://www.millerperformancecars.com/catal...p;category_id=6 http://www.millerperformancecars.com/files...NIIIM%20MAF.pdf

replace the door handle mech ?

yes a larger amp driving the door speakers should help but dont to big , but you will have to get seperate crossovers (or amps with built in crossovers etc) so as not to send bass down to the tweeter and mids etc , as the factory amp has that all built in. here's a pic of the sub and the door speaker pods etc

will have a m3 interior up for sale soon . vader seats and door cards etc http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=34065

yukky old mans wood like this

rear parcel shelf speaker box is a small sub box with 2 or 4 5" subs in side it driven off a seperate chanel in the 10 chanel map in the boot . the box is mounted under the parcel tray with small hole for it to breath back up into the cabin . better to just diconect it and wire in a large amp with a seperate 10" or 12" sub box in the boot with the old box removed so the base can come up through the hole . and just upgrade the door speakers if you need to afterwards , but i think you will find them fine if they have not been damaged etc

have the console ,dash and door card wood trims in the black wood type. looks nice http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=358201326 021433600

rewire the ac fan and use a lower temp sensor on the radiator from a e36 318ti so the fan cuts in earlier . can shwo you how if you like

do the wiring at the amp end in the left side of the boot , unplug the amp and figure out which wires come from the deck and which go to each speaker , also remember to use crossovers etc so you dont blow up the mids and tweeters etc .
