First E46 M3!
New to the club, but not the M club. Made the switch from two E92 M3's previously and decided to give this a try! Looking forward to many smiles per gallon

First oil change on the new-to-me M3 was done today, went with Total Quarts 10W60. Also took the first sample of oil to send off to Blackstone for analysis so we will see how that goes, wish me luck!
Everything else looked great minus a small oil leak from the CPV (ordering CPV with viton o-ring tonight).

Installed ZHP knob and alcantara shift boot!
(both genuine BMW) Still waiting on my Autocross SSK from AutoSolutions to finish being built but this knob alone was a big upgrade from the stock broom stick. I wanted to wait and do it all at once, but then decided if I do this now I'll get a chance to appreciate the difference the zhp knob can make on its own. Very pleased with this mod!

Update:
Having had the M3 for a couple weeks now, I finally set a aside a day to thoroughly drive it at varying rates of speed from very slow to slightly aggressively and listen for any weird noises or quirks. As I had hoped it seems very solid overall, however I did notice upon hard acceleration and shifting aggressively at higher rpms - you can feel/hear a dull clunk right as you disengage the clutch and shift gears. One other thing I noticed is as the rpm's are falling, only at the 2k rpm mark do you feel a slight vibration. From what I have gathered I firmly believe this could just be a matter of needing to refresh the flex disc (guibo) and driveshaft center support. I went ahead and ordered a new all OEM Guibo, driveshaft center support and center support bearing along with new nuts and bolts. Brand new transmission mounts will also be ordered (even though my current mounts are in good shape, I figure this would be a good time to refresh them). Anyway, the car is running amazing and is a blast to drive even if I'm just doing the speed limit in town, there's just something so engaging about it. Hope y'all had a good weekend 🤙🏽

She's a beauty my man, enjoy it.
I myself just snagged a 2003 Carbon Black super clean 110k example. It's in the shop for a SMG -> 6SPD swap right now, all back to OEM. Planning on doing OEM+ to this car, I want to daily drive this as the F82 CS gets some rest. Refreshing this car is going to be really fun, I get to start using all my tools again! Have fun and be safe.

Thanks WestBankM4 !
Hell yeah, enjoy yours as well. Likewise, it's been nice having a project again to keep me busy during the pandemic. Look forward to seeing some pics of yours and progress too! 😎

Fresh all weather BMW floor mats installed. Not the coolest mod but definitely an important one when living in the PNW 🌲🍁

It's not a massive clunk it's honestly very minor, but either way it's best to sort it now rather than ignoring it and having a real issue later.

Hello and congratulations!😁
In the first photo looks kinda of like Cooper Mtn. area 🤔 I'm over in Bethany and used to shoot over Cooper Mtn. when worked in Tualatin. I have E92 M3, and like you hope to add an E46 - just not for awhile, as I have kids heading to college soon. But alas, I will eventually get one. Or go off and be cra-cra and get an E60 M5 😂 Very nice car sir! Cheers, Merlin

Either one will be bada**! I know many people are a skeptical about the e60 M5's but you know what, if you have the funds and the knowledge to tackle some diy's I say go for it! I too once debated getting one in the past but never pulled the trigger as they were never serious thoughts. It would definitely be worthwhile to experience owning/driving one! If you're ever in the area and want to cruise or meet up, give me a shout 🤙🏽
