E46 M3

Remove backseats...forget to remove cup holder. That's a deduction of at least 50hp.

Some how I have never mangled myself working on a car. Out of all the stuff I have done, everything from changing a door to taking apart an engine, I have been lucky enough to come away with only bleeding knuckles.

On much thinner springs we have used heavy duty zip ties (the ones with the metal clasps) to keep it compressed, around 40 of them spaced around the spring. Once the spring is out we slowly cut the zip ties with a long knife until it springs back.

Pure porn. Absolute pure porn representing so many different specialty trades.

Did anyone else notice the lack of good commercials. There was ample CBS series promotions though.

I concur with your choice. Wonderful sounding and looking engine.

On a side note. The Kirkland police are very friendly to pedestrians. I got way too drunk one night and ended up walking a mile in the opposite direction from my house. Couldn't find my way home, tried to fall asleep on someones lawn. Cops were called and they called my friends to come get me and take me home even…

Around here (WA) any area with a higher than average income has dick cops. Medina (Bill Gates' neighborhood), Redmond, Kirkland waterfront, Bellevue (west of 405) all have dickish cops.

Here is my current wheel. Personal Neo-Actis. Such a beautiful wheel, nice stitching, soft as hell leather. It just feels so go in my hands.

The Euro E36 M3 steering wheel is sexy. Lucky for us there is a guy that recovers them. You can get a nice supple soft touch leather wheel complete with M tri-color stitching. This picture shows one with the E46 steering wheel controls retrofitted in it.

That movie is beyond ridiculous. I remember seeing that for the first time last year and all I could think of was holy shit.

In my experience it is hard to spot a gear head nowadays. Take myself for example. Everyone I have ever met would have never thought I was into cars/motorized things and have a fairly experienced background when it comes to fixing, building, creating. I don't live in grease and I don't dress in ratty clothes or have…

"Anit-squeeze" is anti-pinch feature.

Flipping my car and having my door open mid flip only to land on a protruding rock or unusually pointy dirt mound and have it blasted into my torso or face while glass is exploding all around me giving me minute cuts and gashes on my exposed extremities and facial region while gas is being hurled into the air and…

It's a pretty nice looking car. Obviously the rear end is done for the sake of aerodynamics. Looks like the isolated the exhaust pipes and you have a functional rear tray. I bet the whole underside of the car is covered in plastic coverings too.

They did this to the E30 M3 too. I remember it was in some terrible movie with Tupac and I laughed the whole time they had it on screen.

Shittiest movie I have seen in a very long time. I got so bored I sat through 5 minutes before I walked out.

The fact that the movie Drive was soooooo damn horrible in sooooo many ways should remove him from any lists in the future besides worst actor and worst movie. That movie was as bad as "Bug" (look that one up if you dont know). I understood what it was suppose to be but it was just terrible.

I once drew a fish in art class. Called the teacher over and asked her if it looked like a chode. She said she didnt know what a chode was. I still got an A. (look up chode if you dont know).
