2003 BMW M3
The Build
Overview
With the rod bearings, subframe reinforcement, and VANOS all addressed, this LCI E46 M3 is well-sorted and is ready to hit the track. A Recaro racing seat has been fitted and it has gained some improved cooling to keep the temperatures in check in demanding conditions, and TC Kline double adjustable coilovers make the handling more predictable. It has seen a long list of work to help keep it running strong, and we think it could serve as a great companion for attacking the canyons and hitting the track on the weekends.
