This is Part 1 of my build breakdown of my E46 325i (330i conversion). I'm answering most of the frequently asked questions I receive on my Instagram page, relating to my engine swap, 6 speed manual transmission swap, interior swap and mods, and more!
Special thanks to my friend, Kyle Dionne (KDFilms) for shooting some of the B-Roll footage used in the video.

As a 330i touring owner, I did the swap from a 5 speed to a 6 speed manual, after i swapped out the final drive ratio from a 2.93 to a 3.23 ratio with a Gripper LSD The 6 speed and 3.23 mix gives you the same ratios as the E36 M3 Evo , it pulls well through the range while cruising on the motorway it'll regularly run at 2800rpm at 75mph, giving me on average around 35-40mpg.

@E46Knight Жыл бұрын

3.23 is the ideal ratio I’ve been looking for to pair with the 6 speed. They’ve been tough to find though, and whenever I have come across one, it was around the wrong time for me. But, if I do swap another B30 into this car (it’s currently down with a massive rod knock), a 3.23 diff will definitely be in it’s future.

@Sf_Mason Жыл бұрын

@@E46Knight I got mine built with the gripper internals and 2 diffs , one was a 2.93 from a 330i as the output shafts are different, and a Z4 diff for the ratio.

Maybe you can talk about that in another video and where one can buy those great rims. I got the same size, but they are the 666? but I am afraid they may not be the real thing. Let me know where could one buy original ones like the ones you got, pls. and get them shipped!!! for I am writing all the way from El Salvador. Take care and keep it up with your project.

@marlonbaird6070 Жыл бұрын

255 fit perfectly,just make sure ur offset is correct

@E46Knight Жыл бұрын

I did not do anything to my fenders. They’re still untouched. ET30-ET31 is the max offset to run with a 255 tire on a non-M body. Shaving the lip of the inner fender is recommended, but if you’re running coilovers, and the height that I’m running on my car, the only rubbing you’ll have is from major dips/rebounds in the road.

@E46Knight Жыл бұрын

I bought mine used, and I’d recommend buying it, but only if it was used. The price point of it new for the “gains” isn’t really noticeable. It’s a nice piece to look at, and knowing you have a bigger air filter inside the box is neat, but it’s really there for show. It’s definitely better than any cone (hot air intake) filter that people like to install on these cars, since this is still enclosed in a box like the factory airbox.

@E46Knight 9 ай бұрын

I masked my interior by sections & used the DupliColor spray can to spray the interior. Check out my 2019 highlight on my profile on Instagram to see detailed pictures on the job. I recommend taking your seats out to paint the carpet (I did this for my E46 convertible, where I didn’t on my sedan). Also, get a stiff brush to move the carpet fibers around between coats.
