New Car....Again...E46 M3

Only just realised those are my spacers you bought haha!

Cars looking great, I'm a massive fan of CSL's but prefer the ride on 18's.

Best of both worlds is a set of Apex's or BBS RC's.

*Goes back to check if I've slagged the spacer seller off on here*

No, we're all good :smile:
Mate I can't believe how much they cost you to post!

£18 ish to post them. Other option was like £13 second class, all because of the weight of the bolts.

Funny fact - those uprated bolts saved my life when my ex vandalised my old M3 and undone all the bolts but the locking one. Realised after I went round a roundabout.

Apex springs lower it more but I would go with Eibachs for comfort.

What I meant was alloy wise. The Apex Arc8 (BBS RC copy's/remanufacture) are the same style that BBS made the CSL's in but also a lot lighter and stronger too.

Sorry mate, I realised you meant the wheels after I'd posted. I'm holding out for a set of second hand eibachs before I bite the bullet and buy new.


You got any other bits lying about that you can sell me? 😂

I have CS/L front brakes, pads, calipers and carriers.
18x10 BBS CH's squares which are epic
Milltek cup racing exhaust with 100 cell
Immaculate black leather interior.
A pillar trims ideal for retrimming
Steering wheel controls and lower panel
2x Michelin Cup 265/35/18 tyres on 2.2mm tread
4x Trofeo R 265/35/18's new
2 x Recaro leather/alcantara CS's, recaro runners and macht seat adaptors. Bolt in option offered.

And probably a set of Bilstein Clubsport suspension freshly refurbished and serviced after I get Nitrons.

You still enjoying it James?

Watched Danny's video last night and its really made me want one! Found this on eBay; its an early one but looks great!

Yeah I'm really starting to gel with it now. It's only a weekend toy so it's not used much, but I love it when I do.
It would be a perfect daily if you can afford to be putting the miles on it. Not so much fuel costs, but obviously with the more mileage you do, the sooner the vanos/HG/SMG/subframe failures are going to start popping up. Having said that, they don't need to be the massive bills they once were.


That one you've linked, I think you could find better for that money. I paid less than that, and mines a facelift, with similar miles

Yeah that's expensive. I gave that for mine which is a year newer, 20k less miles, has just had an inspection 2 and VANOS rebuild and is rust free. "Full service history" is all very well, but if it's rolling up to being due an Inspection 2 you're probably in for at least a grand, so the detail of the history really matters.

You got a thread on yours mate?

They are going up slowly though aren't they? Also.. manual is more pricey isn't it?

They're creeping up very slowly for the decent ones. Manual Vs SMG prices seem to bare no correlation really
