Gotcha. Mines not an M3. Just has M3 performance package and accessories. Its the 330ci ZHP package with the M54b30 motor. I appreciate your offer to help.

I do need to get the rear subframe reinforced. I need to get it on the lift to see what it looks like back there.


Decided to get the original shorty knob that it originally came with. The long neck wasnt doing it for me. The shorty feels so good in my fingers. Love it :headbang:

Let me know how that works out :lol:



Nice. What brand and wheels/tire specs?

Is there a build thread somewhere?

Look up Spec E46 rules and i believe in this trim minus aero, the car complies with since it does race in Spec e46. There is no build thread on the car (since the series in Nor Cal is super competitive) , but let me tell you its pretty cool inside in its full endurance trim. The tires are 255 Toyo RRs i think.

3 months later, and here I am with another e46. This one is all stock 2001 330ci 5 speed manual. Picked her up the other day. Found a dry day to take a pic of her

Gotta love CELs. And the code it came up with was so vague, that I decided to start with the most obvious one. The DISA was making a rattle snake noise at idle, and would go away when I unplugged it. I knew I needed to replace it. With the new one installed, the rattle snake is no longer in my intake manifold and purrs. I had reset the CEL and drove around for a bit. Unfortunately the CEL came back :angryred:

On to my adventure...

If you need to know, its the part attached to the manifold behind the oil dip stick






What a mess and the filter needs to be replaced






What I had to remove






Old and cruddy. New and improved
The old one had enough play to cause it to rattle when air was flowing through the flapper






Look at all that crud inside the manifold :shock:
