paulo 66 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 Hi there, Does anyone know of a damaged e46 M3 with good running gear that might be for sale? I need engine, 6-speed gearbox, driveshaft, engine bay parts and front loom, so I figure that a complete car will be a more economical way to go. I have an otherwise complete e46 M3 that was a factory 6-speed manual that I need to put these bits into in order to make it a runner. It looks like the cheapest option is to bring in a lightly damaged car from Japan, (possibly LHD?) but before I go down that path I thought i'd see if there was anything available in NZ. Would prefer manual to SMG in order to minimise further cost / complexities. Many thanks Paul 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hans - have you narrowed down your search to any particular suppliers in the UK? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
