E46MSport

Any BMW dealer. They will order it from Germany. And you need to pay upfront, plus present your proof of ownership.

Do these guys sell on trademe? I have the led tail lights in mine but some of the LEDs are out.

I wonder if they can repair if I take them in? Where are they??

not sure if this would fit yours.

They're in Mt. Wellington, Auckland. Same building as Redline Performance.

19 Industry Road, Penrose, Auckland ( we are right next to redline performance )

Thanks Steve, so you reckon grom or denison will do it?

What year is yours Dylan?

I've been out all day looking for some willing cars on some choice twisty roads.. No one wanted to play

yeah man... Dension or GROM or even Dice will do it. I think Dice is one of the forum's sponsor.

Hey Tristan - Yeah on the lowest setting though the gear change just seems dim witted and slow, I'll have a play around with the in between settings tomorrow.

I mean the tail lights to make it look like 2004+ spec.. I think it would freshen the rear up a bit!

Steve I'll get some pics up tomorrow, it looks like the standard business tape deck. There's a 10 cd stacker in the boot though.

Thanks Dylan!

Which do you recommend between the dice and denison? I saw a cable that simply plugs into the h/u that has an aux input?

The alarm sounds like a hassle hiding cables etc? I might just get the parts and let bmw do it! It is nz new though.

Thanks - is that visible when the door is open?

Cheers

in that case, you can put iPod integration unit which replaces the 10 disc stacker and control your iPod from the HU.

LED tailight is easy. there's a shop in Mt. Wellington AKL who sells those. check with them. I'm sure its plug n play unit.

So after much deliberation I got bored and just decided to pick a car. I decided to go for the E46 M3 because I always wanted one and I have previously had an S2000 and this seemed like it could be a step up.

So the car has FBSH and I got the inspection II put on credit for when I want to use it as part of the deal. I've ordered some VANOS parts to be fitted when it goes in for the inspection (thanks for the help on the previous thread guys). It looks really tidy and minimal marks on the car, the interior is in great condition, even the door handles are unmarked (which seemed to be an issue on most I looked at). I also got the car PPI'd and the subframe was good - few weeping seals though and the passenger mirror isn't working. The SMG pump was done 10k kms ago as well.

So onto the car, what I like;

- it's quicker than the S2, the engine power and delivery is beautiful!

- it gives me a lot more confidence than the S2 did in the bends at high speed

- The SMG blips on the downshift are sweet

- it's comfortable

- I quite like the noise

- great brakes

What i'd change;

- It's not as pin sharp as the S2 was in the steering dept

- Kind of missing the gearbox (but who wouldn't coming from the S2 box!)

- the exhaust note isn't loud enough for me

- the upshifting is harsh

- no aux for the radio

So i've got a few questions!

How do I get aux on this thing or ipod control? I don't know if it has a multichanger but i think i read you can replace it if it does? Can you please post pics of the stereo? I'm sure you can put AUX input such as GROM Audio or Dension.

Did these things come with an alarm as standard? The owner said it didn't? Few comes with OEM alarm, but all comes with OEM immobilizer

Anyone know what the issue with the passenger mirror might be? It was raining the other day and the drivers mirror was crystal clear but the passenger one wasn't so the heating element and motor doesn't seem to work.

Is it difficult to fit OEM LED lights to the E46? Are the aftermarket copies worth a look or not? LED lights as in park lights, etc? its not hard, but you have to buy the one designed for European cars, otherwise your bulb fail warning will lights up.

Are there any common mods / changes people generally do on the E46? Not specifically engine mods but just improvements.

Few phone pics;
