E46 Daily/Track build

Jbonly21 · 08-23-2022, 12:12 AM

Hi guys, this is my 03 E46 M3 with 125k miles. I bought it back in March, it's my daily but I will like to get it track capable to give my F80 a break.

These are what I have done so far.

Borla exhaust
KW V2 coilovers

What tracks do you visit? I just returned from Ozarks which was a blast. Videos don’t do justice on elevation change and it flows so well. Definitely have to do a visit again. Below is a 360 video of my run…

I am trying to do all the tracks in SoCal, right now I run my F80. Having a family and my work, I don't go to the track as much as I would like to. I haven't to the E46 yet, hope to have it track ready by the end of the year.

Got the car coded today, decided to put it on the Dyno to get a base run before engine mods and she made a health 300 Hp.

Did I meet you at autoclub speedway a few months ago? I was in tiag e46 with mag blue te37’s. You seem familiar, but if I didn’t, nice build keep it up.

Mind sharing your wheel/tire specs? Looks aggressive and I like it!

18x10 et25 275/35 in the front and 18x11 et44 315/30 with 20 mm spacers in the rear.

Yup that was you! You got something stuck in your rotor didn’t you?

Dang! 18x11! Any rubbing?

Let me know the next track day you go to. Trying to head out soon.

Haha yeah, unfortunately it does rub on hard cornering, I am planning on buying 2 more 10’s and running 10 squares. I will let you know for sure, probably in a month.

The build has come along really well! Nicely done!
