Great video, but ...I really wish I'd seen it before I did mine last week. Why..? Because I didn't think about marking the two ends before I split the splined joint. I now have a very small, but noticeable to me at least, vibration at around 30mph on hard acceleration. I have mine running most of the time in RWD only by removing the feed to the transfer box motor when its powered down and the clutches are relaxed, if I switch back to awd it's hardly noticeable with less drive to the back. I guess I'm going to have to either live with it, take the prop off again and pay to have it balanced, or try rotating the splined join until I get lucky. But thanks for the video and it was an enjoyable presentation.

Which is the right way side to fit the dual mass clutch plate.

I own a BMW X3 E83 2005 with the M54 engine. Your dissertation about the DISA valve was most helpful for me. Please more on the BMW. - John Wright Boulder Co. USA

At what point of BMW, long term, ownership do you just throw in the towel and say " No more BMW's Ever again!😒😒"?

Is he dead?

Comments said it for me 😁

I installed a steel single mass flywheel on my E46 330Ci weighing 5,5kg (or about 12lbs) with a sprung clutch and it was the worst decision ever. Can't recommend it unless you put it on a track car. The noise the gearbox makes under load is insane. Some engine/transmission combinations can't deal with this modification as well as others. VALEO makes SMFs that are probably suitable for daily driving but are just as heavy as the stock DMF.

I know I'm late to the party, but I'd say a must do is to get front and rear strut reinforcement plates. The rears crack (even with grandma driving) which will need rewelding. Easier and cheaper to just avoid it And the fronts don't seem to crack but there is a silly amount of flex. Cheap things to install that will help the longevity of the chassis :)

Just wanna double check that with the ground control rsm u didn’t have to switch to the old washers

Well done m8 !!!

SO. MANY. EDITS.

Thank you for usefull video sir.

Great explanation 💪💪💪

Bro is so underrated

Well done

Hello to u, was u concerned when putting sway bar upgrade because I've heard they can rip out the fixing ? As I'm writing this I realised Turner Motorsport do test some of v parts they sell, also I think they design some parts or at least come up with new ideas for parts. I'd like to know how u r getting on with ur suspension because my E46 330ci is 2006 model & still got original suspension it's only done 92,000 saying that it's still a lot of miles on one set of shocks. All v best to u like ur video the best from what I've seen. Look forward to hearing how ur suspension handles. Victor O'Gorman United Kingdom.

Hey great job, @sixty4motorsport well articulated, please help me with this error, vanos inlet camshaft, end position not reached, vanos exhaust camshaft, end position not reached, camshaft signal inlet, oxygen sensor voltage before catalysator bank 2… please help 🙏

Can i order to you all of the items for air intake upgrade sir?

your accent is fantastic :D ,vrey underrated channel

I honestly don't care about a couple of hp left or right, the sound of those open intakes is just amazing. I'm on the fence about purchasing a GruppeM for my E46 330i, but they're a bit unobtainable here in mainland Europe.

Every one of these guys from downundah makes me want to move. I want to hang out at this dudes shop and just talk.

that Aussie sun hasn't been kind.

Loving your videos! Keep it up :)

great video. thank you

Just got a 323ci to start a project buy it for pretty cheap drive it home left her parked 4 days and boom no reverse motor on or off no reverse 💀💀💀💀

Great video and solid tips. I spent month searching for the correct E46. any car with personal modification and "performance mods" i skipped and last week just bought an e46. I'm gonna throw shit tons of money at it. cause imma keep it forever !! :D such a great car.

love your vids mate. great channel.

Bananas 🍌 😂

Really helpful channel waiting on your return. Plus you were getting more views as in comparison to older videos meaning you were starting to gain traction.

Hi there great video help. So a single mass steel flywheel for everyday driving would offer better drivability less chatter etc if Im hearing right Thanks in advance

no issues with vanos is the 2.5l right do you have custom tune ?

MR.... I LIKE YOUR STYLE

It's not cheaper considering you have to buy the whole kit for this swap, and then god knows where to buy replacement clutch disks for your specific kit...

do you know if a worn out vanos will cause massive misfires at low rpms? like if you goose the throttle at low rpms, it instantly misfires, from around 1500 to 2500rpms, but if you let off throttle and goose it again it stops..

Best explanation ever

Another great video Michael. You were able to clearly articulate a concept and demonstrate a process that many just turn into a confusing mess. I was worried whether my VANOS unit was at risk as my beloved E46 M3 Convertible is approaching 200,000 Km, but after this, I know what to listen for. I am undertaking many of the more basic maintenance tasks, but the BMer is booked in to Sourthern BMW in Melbourne early next month for rod bearings and engine mounts and a full health check. I will then progress the resulting work list as I plan to keep the street legal race car till I drop off the perch and then they can bury me in it…….. Love your work!!! Love learning about E46. Thank you.

Boring old (78) long retired pom mechanic here; too many years in the trade who did time on Alfa, Jaguar, and Ferrari in UK and Canada. Worked with many Oz and NZ mechanics over the years who were all great. Now I'm the proud owner of a mint X5 3.0 2005 (209k kms) with a vibration problem which is definitely drive shaft related. However, the fix also boils down to a question of technique. Hitting wrenches (ok, spanners) with a hammer and inter-linking wrenches for more leverage are definite no-no's and can result on tools flying across the shop floor and opening up of wrench jaws. Not at all recommended. Boring old pom mechanic....

I don't think I've ever seen a filter comparison where Hengst didn't end up on the highest top. Top three filter manufacturers in my eyes are: no.1 Hengst, no.2 Mahle, no.3 Mann Filters. (However, I experience Mann a bit like a falling star. I no longer have 100% faith in their quality. Hengst is in a different league in comparison).

Really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. By chance, I have a Turner power pulley pack and belts about to be delivered. Thanks for the great advice - once again.

Thank you for this great channel. I have the brass bleed screw and magnetic sump and diff plug bolts. I plan to implement your other recommendations. Great to see another Aussie E46 lover, who seems very knowledgeable indeed. Keep up the great work. I am a fan and have subscribed to your channel. I am looking into the Stuart water pump as it was not clear if they have a model for the 2003 BMW E46 M3 Convertible? I have just started conducting work on my E46 and look forward to learning much more from your channel. Thank you.

i have a leave from the vanos cover after replacing the valve cover gasket. any idea what that could be?

The later in generations of the engines in BMWs not only have variable valve timing, but also variable valve lift

A lot of the link seem not working please have a look. My is 325ci 2005 :) 200k thank you

man really did walk away

I was looking for the dipstick tube, but searching my persons left me empty handed.
