I know how you feel Stef, I’ve got a rattle in my e46 that is driving me nuts. I only hear it at certain times, and even had my buddy who’s familiar with BMW drive it to try and hear it. Only response was, huh, that’s weird, no idea what that is from.

Well, sh*t. Mainly just wanted the car for a project/drift car. Thanks for all the info, guess I better delve into maintenance and prepping for codes.

Wow, that’s a little ridiculous for a battery swap. Why does the battery need to be registered? It shouldn’t be like swapping a mother board on a PC and reloading windows and having to register for that Windows key.

Thanks for the info. The PO had most of the cooling system replaced recently (according to the receipts), so I should be good there for a bit.

Wait, really, it’s not that easy? Recently picked up an e46 and am learning stuff about it, but haven’t heard about matching a battery to the car.

So, potential drift car in 10 years...

Ramp van, or in this case truck

Lol, nice reference, thanks for the laugh.

I know it’s not the same, but at first glance of the Stevenson Motorsports banner on the side of the car made me think of the F&F supra

I hear you on getting one again later when they drop in price, and congrats on the low mile BMW.

Ok glad to hear I’m not totally crazy. If (that shifter tho) was put at the end of the sentence, I’d totally agree with Doesn’t Drive a BMW that it was a compliment. potatoe po-tot-oe

Great idea for an old car and clever use of the discount tool bin.

Doh, I think you are right, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I read it wrong, or too fast, or it just went over my head or something.

Holy crap, you actually like the BMW shifter over the FR-S???

Love the sound, thanks for the video. Next time they run the 787B they should have a camera in the engine bay for both sound and view the intake runners.

Thank you both for this, stars awarded always for the 787B

Thank you for this.

Well I hope you get to feeling better soon, but it’s good for us as we get more posts from you.

Thank you for this, I always loved the wide body race version of the 1st gen.

Great article Kat! Thank you so much for the great pictures and write ups, I really enjoy all that you post. My next big trip in a couple years will be to Japan, so looking forward to it and learning more about the culture.
