Thumbs up for a guy who has spare Recaros sittin' around.👍😆

A wise man once said, "not modifying your car is like not shagging your bird to keep her fresh for the next bloke." - bugger resale values, I approve of this.

"Life's too short to worry about resale values." Good quote. Let the mods begin.👍 Hey Danny.🙋 Do what makes you happy, man. You'll definitely get more joy out of driving the M3 while you're sitting in it, not on it. The Pole Position is a nice addition, in my opinion. Plus the seat swap saved a few kilos. Good to see the car gods and Mother Nature approved as well.😉 BTW, I noticed you more active in the comments section, which is impressive, considering how many you get per video.👏 Thanks for taking the time to do this, mate.👊 Cheers!

Keep up with these videos mate, loving it!

This is a true car enthusiast kudos to you bro.

A different seat makes the world of difference to a car. I had PPs in my old 996, superb.

i love the random tyler instrumentals in every video! keep it up

That m3 tho❤️. Nice vid man, keep it up

Looks Great Dan

Nice work dude. The seat looks class, and I totally agree with the sitting on as opposed to sitting in. The seating position is so important, I'm glad it worked out. And just remember who's car it is, you do what you wanna pal. 👍

You said exactly what i say, sitting in the car rather than on it. I have leather pp's, i feel sooo connected with the car. Mega!

Love it. Amber corners and black OEM 19" inch wheels and you've got yourself a winner :) Love the trailer for the next video :)

I'm thinking about getting bucket seats for my e46 m3! Your video definitely persuaded me more haha

I completely get it bought my new car a few weeks ago and was in standard mode as soon as you start to change things it becomes your own car not a generic one on the road so keep on going lad 😁

Liking before even watching because Recaro Pole Positions are the best

Nice video dude!!

Danny 😂 I comment on a lot of your videos about how funny they are honestly you have me in stitches all the time 😂😂 "let's see how heavy this seat is, ahh fuckin hell" 😂😂

And so it begins ....

Cool M3....like the background....

I've come to love that E46 boot sound

A BMW Good video. LOL appreciate the recommendation on the rear wing spoiler. I ended up making one from the Prelude that I had on to the factory ek9 spoiler. Turns out it works out great. Trying to learn how to fabricate and do most of the parts and work myself

DannyDC2 You have good taste in cars

Really nice

Hey Danny! I was wondering what mounts and brackets you used. You said you used a Recaro Side Mount and OMP brackets, but which ones specifically, if you recall? Thanks a lot! Looks great!

thanks for the video! Quick question - how did you connect the ABS sensor plug so that the ABS is still operational? Cheers

Get the standard 18's mate. I ran them on my estoril e46 with coilovers and they were a lot more comfortable, and with the drop and spacers the look awesome. Go for 4 rears, badass. 👌🏼

Awesome Danny, you've answered a question on which I was asking for ages. If the e36 omp base would fit a e46 m3. And thankfully it does👍 can finally fit in my bride seats into my m3

Get it turned into a track monster! Some coilovers and nice 18s would be a great start 👌

That title makes me happy

I need to come find these roads! Look awesome

the narrower seat is FIA, the wider one is ABE/TUV(roadlegal)

hi did you get any lights on the dash from unplugging the drivers seat, and is it much lower ?

First mod I did to my otherwise stock S2k was a Recaro SPG. You're just so much more attached to the car that you can really enjoy the stock setup. I've done a few track days now with stock suspension as it felt so good and fun to exploit (vids on my channel...). Maybe throw some good pads in there to take the temps and see what you think as is?

Don't forget the subframe jobby before you do any serious track work in it.

you should get some rims next, those Recaro's look great

I had the same issue with that exact Recaro trying to fit it in to my EP3, had to give up in the end, glad I wasn't just being a mong!

Only you dan will remove a seat and not hoover before placing in new seat 💺 haha fuck re sale enjoy it 🤙🏼

Impact gun is sold out, now look what you've done Dan! lol

I have a set of staggered oem 18's with decent tyres for track use and they are great. I find the standard seats really unsupportive too so may look into an aftermarket seat myself. Do what you want with the car bud, life is indeed too short! Enjoy it for what it was intended.

Not to mention the weight savings... Definitely tyres + wheels next - no-brainer. Also, consider getting the Bilstein B12 Sport shocks with eibach springs; they're not coilovers but they're exceptional. I have them on my 325i.

just be quite it will be fine love it

Nice video Danny and good tool that , Like your videos because they are honest and to the point, But much prefer the teg , that's just me , but I like watching your videos even if it's a BMW 👀

That's what he said!

Just go full track slag, best colour, best shape, look naughty as out in full beast mode😍

+1 on fitting OEM 18's. They look so much better and out of the E46 M3's I've seen, they must be the rarer option?

How would such seats be for a daily driver? On long road trips?

"Just be quite and go with it" 😂

Alright Dan, enjoying the vids...track action was good! Just wanted your opinion on a car...I own a peugeot 306 gti6 and i love it...think I've seen one in your older vids and wondered if you'd driven it and what your opinion is? M3 is sweet man!

The reason the seats are different is because ones a pole position and one is a furious. The furious is basically a wider version of the pole

Got those leccy seats in my Touring, better fit in there. Would have done the same for the M3 as they are far heavy and sitting lower with the car too. Yep would change to the factory 18's, not my cuppa those 19's. Those smoked front indicators though Dan, they need to go pronto ;)

Estoril! Best colour 💪🏻

Car looking sick dude am actually a fan of the 19s imo can't wait to see the engine coming out the teg you going down the same route as josh????

My try a Recaro In my Lancia. Im finding I'm sitting on instead of in too. Will have to do some research

46 and 36 seats fit each other - i have 330ci in my e36 and about to put my recaro on custom e36 rails into my mates 46 - all you have to do is enlarge the rear holes to fit 46 seats...

Sat on it, rather than IN it. Spot on.

you'll be tracking it soon!

4:01 thats what i always say, if its a bolt on and off thing its no but fucking deal, you can get the leatherseat back in later if you like and there will be no proof of there being a recaroseat at all!

I love the recaro pole postion seats looking to get me one for my old DA-9,used that is, fucking expensive brand new mate! Fucking BEEMER!(LOL!) is looking class mate! Cheers! ✌👍☝I bet it feels way better taking them corners now cuzz!🏁

The start of the next track car..mmm..M3...its a good idea to save the original seat.So good idea to take the original one out,and keep it.First part of weight reduction is done less 28kg seat!!As you said feels now more like a race car with that seat in,yes I would lower the M3 just a bit.Maybe do the left seat too to Recaro..so that you mates can join you and less 28kg..Thanks for replaying more om comments.

There's a cow in your boot! My opinion would be clear indicators (all round) smoked looks dirty. And some apex Rc8's and tint the windows and job done! Interesting sneak preview of the dc2!

Nice video! Do you have a locking arrangement on your regular seatbelt? :)

If it was mine i would do wheels + tires, good brake pads + brake fluid, springs, induction and exhaust. All by this order. But it's not mine so.. Yeah.. Ha! Really liked the seat changing, i bet it drives better now.

Alright Dan, I have an ep3 with dc5 recaros and absolutely love the way the seats feel in the ep3, I've just bought e46 330ci as a second car and want to do the same by fitting a recaro seat init, any help on seat rail for fitting and which recaro would you buy. Thanks man

Strategically placing the seat in front of a massive dent in the arch. Is that new? Or there before?

The OEM 18s are great if you find them, the 19s don't feel right. Also look into getting an eventuri intake sounds great.

Liking all the Tyler the Creator creeping into these videos

definitely go down to 18" wheels

Japan Schale means Japan bucket/case. In english its bucketseat and in german its called schalensitz

drifting is cool and all but I would much rather see track battles. Either way channel is sick and I would watch regardless.

why are you taking out the k20? Are you gonna put a b18 back inside? Would love to see that.

Should defo get the new PS4's on those rims mate..I've got them on the rear of my M3 cabrio and the car is like a fkin gokart now! Once the fronts shed a few more mm of tread I'm gonna throw the brand new PS4(S) on the front as well. Standard brakes and suspension on mine too, and like you I've thought about coilovers but the stock ride is fine for me. Think at most I'll maybe throw on some eibach springs to ground it out a little. Our roads are crap up here so no need to go any lower than the 20f/10r drop on the eibachs! Unless your thinking of track mode I would leave the brakes as they are. Only heavy street use (twat mode more like) would make the OEM setup suffer from heavy fade. Enjoy!

Danny, is that a CG-Lock on your belt? I have one, never fitted it though. Worth fitting in your opinion?

Ahh Dan is that a supermarket trolley ding on the rear arch?

Buy a CSL air box, transforms the sounds and throttle response

I see you've found the Pateley to Grassington road...have you tried the run out to Hawes yet? (It's even better I assure you)

I know it's not an m3 but I have a clubsport e46. And it's had a few things done to it, like coilovers, 18inch BMW cls wheels etc and it handles brilliantly and the ride is really good. Just thought you might of wanted some feed back from a similar car with the mods you want to do to yours

OEM 18s for sure, will look mega

dan... for q and a you may do?-have you noticed that your trying to make the teg more driveable on the road..and you dont want to go too far on the m3 so that you can still drive that on the road yet i reckon youll still do quite a bit to it.. you may end up with 2 nice road and track cars? rather than the 1 for each purpose (out n out track teg, drift e36 n m3 daily)

Looks awesome man. I really want to put a bucket in my Mini Cooper s as the Oem seats are not good at all.

I would love it if you did a track day in the m3.

Interior going in the DC2, engine coming out the DC2, and interior starting to come out of the M3.............. I smell M3 track car coming!

Hi DannyDC2 famous KZfaqr. Recaro is good mod but when are you going to supercharger your M3?

My trunk does the exact same sound

I think you should get aftermarket wheels tho 😎

Them bolts need to be 10.9 grade at least, just because they are a safety item. Great video as always though :).

Quality vid man! Whats the tune at the end?

Yeh I get it but should of got a leather one keep it sort of the same I think, I would lower it different wheels etc.

What's your thoughts on the GT86/BRZ and have you ever driven one?

Honestly I'm jealous of all the shit you have dude. I really badly want a drift car soon - what do you recommend for a starter drifter?

Bring back the horn they were playin at the beginning

How about lowering springs with the same spring rate for a similar ride ?

Momo wheel next like jacksons

Square Oem 18's look the best on the e46. 19's are gash

DannyDC2 Im quite lucky for good backroads/country roads as i live in the lake district but it allways pisses down here :(

surely if you dont swap both seats its gonna go in circles due to the weight difference from the standard sofa

For the q+a If your 3 current cars didn't exist what cars would you be driving ?

OEM 18s ftw. Don't some people run a square setup with 2 sets of the rear (wider) wheels? Might need to camber the front out a lot...😬👌

Chewbacca bootlid!

dan whats your waist and weight, Im looking at a set of pole positions but not sure if itll fit me
