BMW Individual / OEM+ Journal
So, it's been awhile since I've really had a journal thread. This is my 3rd E46 M3 (previous - '06 Silver Gray/Black ZCP/6MT and '02 Steel Gray/Imola Red Convertible 6MT). I had an E39 M5 for 5 years and E90 M3 previously as well, along with a handle full of X5 vehicles ('06 4.8iS LeMans Blue and '02 4.6iS Black Sapphire Metallic and currently a 2011 35d Black Sapphire Metallic - journal here:https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1715451). Always found myself going back to the E46 M3 platform in my head and recently acquired this gem. After missing out on a few over the years, I was fortunate to stumble upon this and timing was perfect. Car came with records back to 2004, original window sticker and some OEM+ modifications.

01.01.21: A few items to take care of
Maintenance: [X] Cabin Filter replacement @ 83k [ ] Oil Service @ 84k [ ] Spark Plug Service @ 84k [ ] Guibo Replacement [ ] E-Brake Adjustment [ ] VANOS hub inspection (preventative) [ ] Rob Bearing Replacement @ 100k (preventative) [ ] Rear Differential Service @ 100k (preventative) OEM+ Modifications: [X] Armrest Delete [ ] ///M Trunk Mat [ ] Perforated Steering Wheel [ ] Add Blue-bus module for BT capabilities [ ] ZCP Brake Retrofit [ ] New OE Shift Knob (broomstick) [X] Remove aftermarket head unit [ ] Remove Gruppe M Intake System [ ] CSL Front Wheels 19x8.5 (36112282650) [ ] CSL Trunk [ ] CSL Rear Diffuser [ ] CSL Airbox (Ultimate Goal) First order of business (besides buying up some maintenance items), was to remove the old school Dynavin D99 head-unit. Luckily, car came with the original business radio and HVAC trim pieces that were mint so I decided to go back to OEM status. Eventually, I'd like to add BlueBus for BT capabilities - I believe it's backordered until at least February. Taking apart everything takes some time, but I have fairly familiar with these so it took no time at all. Removing a everything, I started to notice this vehicle was wired up for a chase! Definitely a laser jammer was installed, and it's hardwired for a radar as well. I removed the laser jammer as I see no real use for it, even though the install was done very well. Removed the phone holder, not sure why this was ever installed. Also took out the OEM armrest and went with a armrest delete retrofit. I always find myself putting up the armrest and not using it, most of the time just getting in the way. Installed OEM armrest delete for a cleaner look. In addition, sold the Gruppe M intake system that was installed in the vehicle and put it back to stock airbox for now. CSL Airbox or BUST!

01.13.2021 - Nothing Special
Haven't driven the M much since we got a little dusting over last few days. When I removed the old head unit, I broke the center vent trying to take it out ![]() ![]() In addition, put a pre-order in for BlueBus since they are still backordered. Picked up a ZCP front brake carrier set for retrofit in the near future. Will be doing ZCP rotors all around! Lastly, had a FutureClassic slap sticker created.

01.22.21 - Putting VANOS Bulletproof parts listing together.
M won't really be driven much over next few weeks so it's not an immediate service. I think I have summed up the courage to do this myself. I had someone do this service on my previous ZCP and watched the entire thing. The only part that gives me pause is timing and reinserting those spindles
