I actually quite like it.

Was the work done by the dealership? If so, that is terrible workmanship, and will have you questioning what else they got wrong.

Spectacular result!

Yea, it became clear he had less and less patience for the keyboard warriors and armchair experts. It sucks when this happens.

The exhaust sounds great. Can I ask why you didnt remove the cats?

You could run a e46m3 complete rear end. Or use the e46 330i or e46 m3 hubs and brakes.

Moving the steering rack is not ideal. IMO I would be moving everything else before I moved the steering rack location. Awesome build tho

Solvent to breakdown/soak valves with carbon deposits

Great kiwi ingenuity there mate. I made a catch can out of a remote oil filter housing -
$30 per lifter multiplied by 24 and it starts getting expensive. Clean and rebuild them, and if any are not save-able just replace those ones. I'd only replace all with new if it was a full on race motor build, or money was no object.

Replaced the hedge hog on the e46 touring. I still maintain this is the worse job to do on an e46. I had put it off for nearly a year.

Lifters are pretty easy to rebuild and only cost you your time
-
Replacing the cvv and hoses is not too hard, just time consuming as the inlet manifold has to come off. Just take photos as you go and take your time.

Awesome ride. I think this might have been owned previously by a member on here - he was trying to combat belt slip from the supercharger. Kayne Barrie motorsport might be a good place to start with your manual swap.

Valve stem seal replacement cost is in the thousands. Honestly the n46 was one of the worst engines bmw ever made, and you should sell the car before you get attached.

Hedgehog can effect temp and speed and can be intermittent. -
E36 Heater Control Issues - Feet and Windscreen Only Blows Hot

Hedgehog is a common failure -
If it was a spark plug failing it would be an individual cylinder code, not all six. Most likely to be a vacuum leak. You can take out the fuel filter and test it. Also try a smoke test. Seeing as you have two cars that need smoke testing its proboably cheapest to buy a cheap smoke tester.

If you replace the seals it will be fine as the new seals are good. Only problem is its a very expensive job. cvv is crankcase ventilation valve. These either fail or get blocked over time, as do its associated hoses. Do the test Gaz mentioned above to see where you stand

Numbers 15 and 17 here; https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ET16-EUR-10-2002-E46-BMW-320i&diagId=11_2879 Also check secondary air pump hoses (if you have one), the dipstick tube oring, make sure the smaller of the two holes on the dipstick tube is not blocked, the 'F' connector on the intake boot, the throttle body gasket, the idle control valve gasket
