🙏🏼🙏🏼

Ah I get it, thank you🙏🏼

I just don’t understand 😅 absolutely blind

I was considering it🫡

Thank you 🙏🏼 it’s pretty rare it’s sea green!

I know, I do have 2 other sets but I just haven’t got round to changing them

Naturally aspirated mate, didn’t bother

🤣

@@AJCars. beautyful e46 u got there btw. Here in germany, manual Coupés 325/328/330 are atleast 8k € and then they are pretty shait.10-12k for an ok one. Id like to own one but that kinda doesnt seem Worth it. I mean i can get a 335i e92/93 manual for that money. Car prices in the uk make so much more sense conpared to here.

@@loredanatafuro7826 yeah different countries have crazy car markets, I think UK is really cheap for the cars

Thanks, they’re called Dare LM or if you want a nicer similar set, bit more expensive, but they’re called BBS LM

Thank you!🙏🏼

I did a whole rundown video of the cost on a later video mate! Have a look🙏🏼

You can buy mine and have 2 if you like😅

@@AJCars.😅 interesting that about to change mine to msport bumpers and skirts and now got to see what they look like

@@declanedwards1827 now you know😅

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Well yes, of course if you only have a little bit of money spare I would do maintenance before doing any mods

Fabric and stitching, i just used spray glue to help it sit on the panel well👍🏻

Naturally aspirated so didn’t bother with engine mods

They’re discontinued mate sorry, they’re maxpeeding coilovers, they will have a new set

they're way worse than the standard ones dont do it

I think you’re right, m sport has a solid block at the bottom without the gap i got it wrong

@@AJCars. Sick car tho brother! I wasn't hating!! I had an E46 330d M Sport and an E92 335d M Sport and I miss the E46 more lol

@@thecreat0r 🙏🏼 next car will probably be E92 M3!

I think i was pretty accurate with the costs for repairs and paint from a body shop (for my area) and it is a pretty accurate run down of how much it will cost to get it to a position I have it in, i do not put the full labour cost at the end but i do explain it throughout the video so you can gauge an idea of what it will cost you, some people may not agree but the prices are what they are unfortunately

@@AJCars. Maybe I missed it but at the end I only saw the cost for the Car and the Mods (@ 10:07). Didn't see a estimated cost for bodywork and paint.

@@jdm2gdm no worries, yeah i did explain it as i went through it

I know. I have 2 coupe sets I just haven’t switched them yet

Thank you mate🙏🏼

Do ittt

@@AJCars. well damn now i have to, give me a week and ill be back 🙏

@@thebutteredcroissant I’ll be waiting for your response 🫵🏼

I did think about doing that🤝🏻

He’s the better Alex jones😓

I wish I had clout like that Alex jones 😓

Can’t think of it that way or I’ll cry😑🤣

It’s a pretty rare colour, sea green! Thank you 🙏🏼

If well serviced it doesn’t need oil a lot, I didn’t top mine up ever and it held, just serviced it yearly

Front is m3 and rear is M sport

Really depends on the model and engine you buy mate, most of them are pretty reliable if you keep up with servicing

I know it’s crazy cheap over here

Depends on the market. Compare the number of registrations in Finland with the UK and I think it will be at least a tenfold. More cars on the market (new and used) means cheap(er) prices. The UK loves Audi and BMW'S and therefor the market has plenty of those in all forms and shapes. I like the colour especially on this one but the UK is also known to have top spec cars come in the colour red where other markets (including here in the Netherlands) will always prefer black/silver/blue. I had a check and 560.000+ 3 series were sold in 2003 in the UK. I cannot find the correct data from 2003 in Finland but from 2011 onwards roughly 5000 units have been sold every year in Finland but it seems to me by looking at these numbers the market in the UK is about 100x bigger, hence the ''cheap'' prices.

@@IwillBwaiting Im surprised that there were that many units sold, wow

@@Juhnaaa the numbers might not all be correct and I am re-checking them. I think my first guess was better with a tenfold to the sales in Finland. More reliable figures show a total of new registered BMW's of 500.000 in 2003 and my guess is back then 2/3 of sales were at least a 3 series in any shape or form, so 330.000 at least? Back then there were not so many different models like nowadays and the total of 500k was 10% of total car sales in the uk (5.2 million) those numbers ARE correct. 2003 was a good year for BMW in the UK.

@@Juhnaaa I myself am looking for a model like this one to prep and take to the German ring. Prices here are stupendous also:(

Appreciate that man! Thank you

19” 9.5j front 10.5j rear et35 and tyres 215/35/19

19” 9.5j front 10.5j rear et35 215/35/19

@AJCars. wow, didn't imagine the non M could fit a 19x10.5 et35 in the rear! I'm fixing mine and hoping to find the perfect 18inch wheel setup to fit 265 tires on the rears.

@@martsmarts well they wouldn’t usually fit but I’ve cut down the rear arches about 2 inches so it gives it more clearance and doesn’t catch

@AJCars. I see.. I'm planning to roll and pull mine. And hoping an 18x9.5 et35 will be perfect for track

@@martsmarts yeah that should be a perfect fit I recon, maybe some coilovers to help the height

Air tank🤝🏻

Apologies, I’ll do better🤝🏻

Thank you!🙏🏼

I’m not entirely sure, I bought the car with the hydro but I imagine it would cost a lot to have it fitted!

@@AJCars. so you made a statement without the necessary research? Come on man

@@km6832 what was the comment?

Mate this guys a good CZcamsr😂 Lay off a bit

It’s a 323ci SE it has 108000 on the clock sits at about 170bhp and I don’t know the owners

@@AJCars. It looks perfect. Here where I live, they cost about 10k. Have you worked on cars before you started working in a body shop?

@@derbene3475 no mate, I learnt everything there so I’m pretty new to it myself, I think if I was to sell it I would get around 4k for it

I went for 5% mate pretty dark but can just about see through it

I know, I have a 2 sets of coupe ones I just haven’t put them in yet🤣

@@AJCars. Then you're good to go. Just wanted to let you know as it happened to me 🤣

@@YulCmr yeah I wasn’t best pleased when I noticed water was getting in through the gaps 😑

How so🤣

@@AJCars. google "alex jones frogs" and tell me what your thoughts are

​@@AJCars. He's joking about the other Alex Jones, the far right American conspiracy theorist who claimed the Sandy Hook school shooting was a setup.

Accent too😆

crazy to think alex jones drives an e46

Yeah I appreciate that mate! It took a little while but it’s nice now👍🏻 and it’s a 323ci mate

No mate, it’s pretty silent until you plant it

No problem mate tried to be as specific as possible! And honestly I’m not sure it’s been a while since I installed it now you’d have to just look closely at the wiring in the video
