    I have detailed both in the past and spent considerable time with both. Both really nice cars! The black CSL has my heart out of the two. 

    Unreal! You know how this dealership got a hold of them? Trade ins? Went hunting for them?

    Yours will be an exciting auction. Not many 05's in NZ. 

    Interesting fact! 
    Per NZTA - There we’re 13 NZ New 2005 E46 M3s ever bought into the country.

    https://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/resources/motor-vehicle-registration-statistics/docs/2005.pdf

    Of those I don’t know how many are coupes but I’d go with 5 or 6.

    And how many would still be on the road today? Good chance not all 5/6 have survived this long for whatever reason.

    So what are peoples thoughts on the e46 M3s with 200,000kms or more ? Sellable or keep at that point ?

    Mine will get there in the next year to 18 months. No major jobs done as yet. But driven 60kms per day and BMW serviced.

    Putting money aside for bearing refresh and thinking either about subframe goop or the usual welded reinforcements

    I’m about to sell mine with 220,000km on the clock, I don’t know if it’s going to sell quickly or if the KMs mean that much to a buyer, full service history 05 NZ New M3

     

    About to find out!

    Spotted this E46 M3 today at the lights at Northcross on the North Shore. 

    Pretty sure it belongs to a forum member (I think his name is Jed), had distinctive vents on the bonnet, a CSL front bumper, and CSL wheels from memory.

    Could I use either of the 2 pipes pictured as an equivalent or have I got the wrong section?

    From agency power, still sitting in my closet from when we did the CSL air box install, never seen day light since lol.

    Finally got there! At long last as! Will try post some more photos and possibly a sound test over the weekend.

    Back yesterday and out the same night for my first drive and one I'm sure ill remember for the rest of my days. Induction sound to die for! How it was meant to be.

    I cant thank @HELLBM and @M3_Power enough for there time, knowledge and putting up with me and my impatience, just a young fella with a vision but no idea how to achieve it - without them it wouldn't have been possible.

    Hi All,

    Selling some parts that have come of my E46 M3, all parts are painted Gun Metal/Dark Grey, Pictures for reference.

    Bonnet: Comes with stock silver Grills. No Badge. $700

    Diffuser:  $100

    Trunk: Doesn’t come with badge or trunk handle (In red) above the number plate, Has "Lip" on top. $100

    Stock Air intake: Just the elbow, K&N air filter (almost new, worth approx $100), filter housing- Doesn’t not include MAF. $150 (will have the manifold available after my CSL air intake has been installed)

    Have a K&N air filter set up also but that's running in my car will be available for purchase once out, Message me if interested. Looking for offers between $600-700, would cost about $1100 to land here in NZ.

    Cheers,

    Jed.

    Acquired taste for some perhaps, But i think it's gorgeous.

    Disappears off to daydream about what it would sound/drive like with the P60B40

    Agreed! May not be for some, but am keeping the original bonnet so I can put it back to stock if i so choose to :)

    Car looks killer man, keep up the good work!

    IMO, I would have left the bonnet unpainted.....that's just me tho ?

    Can definitely appreciate that! :)  Reasons for painting it, 1. Didnt want one panel a different colour. 2. Thought painting it and leaving the vents would make them stand out more and go with the "Grey and Black" theme

    OMG LOL FTW. ? ? ? 

    Oh, and please consider posting pics along the way rather than adding them all to the first post, if they're all put there the page ends up taking too many resources to load. Up to you, it's not a rule.

    Edit: yay, we've got proper emojis now.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm still new to all this so don't know the "right way" to do this ? ill get there LOL
