330, my version.

I must say, it looks 1000000 times better with out everything red.

Looks awesome, surprised with the power output though, my 2.8 m20 was making pretty much the same power as that on the same dyno.

Good gains from the headers though!

Yeah ashkan, I thought it would be like 200hp but maybe it might be the vanos seals needing a replace since it has done 200,000km now.

Tristan: These are 19x9.5 and 19x8.5 CSL reps. The headers I got are from wayne but needed alot of modifying to fit properly

A manual box would unleash some more power no doubt

Good power really for these Kms. Vanos will not be operating properly. Are you still on original cats? If so they will be shot!

Yeah still on original cats I believe! I think I can get them taken out now and just get Gavin to turn off the post cat sensors.

next on the list is probably a vanos seal replacement.

Eagle: It has an manual box already, 6 speed out of an E46 M3 done by Ray at HellBM

What a shame most of the pictures are gone, at least there are a couple in the second thread.

It looked really good back then, clean and original with tasteful mods.

Here you go.

This was about 60k worth of work (on top of the 45k I bought the car for) to get it to this point which when I got the car beack in 2003 was actually justifiable :) e46 M3s were still 120k. Unfortunately modding back then in NZ doing it properly wasn't cheap. Its much better these days.
