I've since moved up to an E87 130i which is quite a bit of fun, but I missed the E46 platform and just bought myself a cheap E46 320i 2.2 Touring. Should receive a B30 at some point in the future :)

I have the same spring as you and recently combined them with Bilstein B8's, those are designed for lowered cars. Your car will feel/handle a lot better with those shocks (i have a 325ci e46). A good thing to do is to also buy reinforcement plates/pieces for the top bits of the suspension for extra strenght

@Bemfa_ 2 ай бұрын

Yes, this would be the right combination. I bought the car with these springs already on them and just left it like it was. This is definitely on the list!

@@Bemfa_ Have you already taken a look at your subframe? Does your car have foldable rear seats? if it has then the chance is big you will get cracks in the body above the rear subframe/div. Might be an idea to check it, weld some plates in and while youre at it put some powerflex bushings in instead of rubber. i added a racing diffs 25% progressive lock dif in the standard oem dif so now its a sort of LSD

@Bemfa_ 2 ай бұрын

@@josephsu95 I know about the subframe issues. I did take a look under the car - seems fine for now (although most of the time you can't see the cracks due to undercoating). I was planning to weld the plates and add poly bushings in the rear but tbh I rather focus on my E30 project. E46 is my daily at the end of the day and I don't drift or track it, so for normal street use it should be fine. If it lasted 23 years, then it should last for a couple of more years of my ownership haha.

Awesome video, love these E46 showcases. Curious , how many liters per 100 km does it spend on the open road and in the city?

@Bemfa_ 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! It’s exactly 8L/100km on the highway, about 9 on open roads, 10-11 in the city. I have about 9.2 combined on average. But… this car is super sensitive when it comes to consumption! You can drive like a grandma and you can probably get 6l average on open roads, but if you just go full throttle out of every corner then expect the number to double 😆

@@markgoudsblom Having had both chassis and engines in quick succession (E46 330Ci and E87 130i, both manual and M-Sport), the E87 with the N52 is just so much quicker. N52s just like M54s are very sensible in terms of VANOS and DISA, when I got my 130i it didn't feel any quicker than the 330Ci despite having 40 hp more and weighing about the same. I did a bunch of preventative maintenance to it and that woke it up massively! There's a few videos of it on my channel. IMO the N52 is very close in character to the E36's S50 Euro, while the M54 is definitely more tame. The E92 will be a lot more expensive to run, parts are more expensive and there's more of them. The E92 is much quicker both in a straight line and in the corners too, the E46 has more character. The E92 feels like a modern BMW, the E46 feels like an old BMW. Definitely a big difference. Drive both and make your decision!
