Just saying whats up. Names Matt. Just got rid of my built/GT35R STI, for a 2005 M3. Heres a few pics..

 

oh, and I definately dont know ANYTHING about modding these.. Ive gone thru single turbo MKIV supras, GT40R R33 skyline, built cobra, built evo, built SRT-4 and my latest STI, But.... BMW's im definately NEW to. So recommended modifications would be a plus!

 

Congrats on the new ride...Are you looking for performance? handling? or cosmetic stuff?

 

judging by his list of previous cars, i would say he is looking for performance upgrades

 

well, more or less good websites.. Maybe an upgrade path... tuning? im not sure how these react to mods or which mods work best. Also maybe some appearance..

Im not doing any kind of forced induction with this car. I thought about maybe going with HPF, but i really dont think its worth the money..

 

Its not easy to get power with those cars....Of course theres the basic Bolt ons but there wont be a night and day difference like some of the turbo cars you had in the past.

E46fanatics.com, M3forums.com, Bimmerforums.com, Floridagerman.com are all good site to check out and look for group buy ect. If your looking for a lighting upgrade (HIDS) ect I would check out DDMtuning.com, Jlevis is another good one, active autowereks is another and Lutzperformance is a local distributor for them.

 

cool! thanks!

 

as a former Subaru guy.... Welcome

 

Hey welcome to the BMW world! if you want to see pretty much where bolt ons will take you we are finishing up an 04 M3 with active autowerke headers,exhaust, race software, AFE intake, and supersprint mid section. Car made 275whp with just intake/exahaust and 307rwhp after the headers/race software and midsection. I am also looking for one more person for a rediculously good deal on an AA supercharger kit for the E46 M3 if your interested PM Me or contact me in any of the ways below. I can also give you some pointers on what works best with these cars as far as mods.

 

Try to get at least the front brake kit from the european E46 M3, drilled rotors ftw

You should be patient with the engine temperatur before you floor it, M corp engines are like glass.
