The track build continues with the BMW E46 330i 6-speed Touring. The last time we went to the Nürburgring, the engine oil was cooking so the first order of business is to install an oil cooler, as well as upgrade the front end to M3, brakes, spindles, wheel bearings, control arms, upgraded sway bars, etc... and then test it on the track!

Thank you for doing what you do and you've earned a loyal viewer. My wife is doing well now and kicked cancers ass btw!

As someone who is also engaged in car repair, what I see is not a fan who simply loves BMW, but a fan of cars. You have passion so you have a persistent attitude! I respect you!

I like to wrap my antiroll bars in Teflon tape, it prevent the squeaks and reduces friction. Also I would check if the 330i master and m3 master cylinder are the same, I believe they are different, and if the pistons are different you might not get the right brake balance and your pedal might have a longer throw.

Sreten, i was so happy to see a new video, i was having withdraw. You are always so happy working on these car's, and your enthusiasm helps motivate me to keep pushing myself on my project. I have progressive MS, and it's causing muscle wasting on my entire left side, and i have to keep moving, because i don't want to be in a wheelchair. I get aggravated because i have nearly no feeling in my left hand, and trying to do something that requires two hands makes me want to lose my mind sometimes lol. I love working on this old 50's army jeep, and everything i do takes. about 4 or 5 time's longer to get it done than it used to, but i am thankful that i can still do it. I like all the changes you are making, it cracked me up when you put the oil cooler on and said nice while laughing. Seeing an aluminum radiator in a BMW that you are working on seems strange, because you are always trying to make the car's completely oem, and are so detailed in the the thing's you do. Now that you are driving on the track, safety and good handling of the vehicle are what matter. You seem like your driving skills have improved, and you seem more confident, but when you build a car yourself, and know it's been done right, it makes a difference. G-d bless.

Sreten few years ago: "Noo! Gotta keep it oem! Parts from BMW only or OEM!" Sreten now: **Cutting plastics, using zipties **#gruzstyle** and installing one thousand mods to his wagon** I absolutely love it that you started modyfing those cars! This is best part of owning car that suit YOUR needs and not worrying what purists has to say. Also really nice you find Gauge.S useful - this is what I wanted people to use it on their OEM+ daily/track day cars! Hope we will manage do get overlay done for next video!
