Flipping a Disgusting E46 325i - MONEYPIT MISTAKE
We bought this E46 back in August of 2023 and sold it about a month later. This project was so annoying I didn't feel like editing any of the footage until now lol, enjoy.

    Awesome video! I myself own a 530i manual with upgraded suspension and love it. Only complaint I would have, is the differential :/ They only came with open diffs which sucks because there will be always be 1 wheel spinning speeding out of a corner. (Not really sure yet what I should do about it.. Was looking at some E39 M5 diffs but these are really costly so thats pretty much a no for me now. Feel free to give me some tips maybe)

    The 530d LCI performs almost as well as the 530i (the 530i shades the 530d by a second or even fractions of a second), the acceleration from 40 mph is even better on the 530d, and the 530d has seriously better fuel economy. Unfortunately it was never available in the USA, the USA didn't do diesel cars in those days.

    Ok, I hope this question doesn't sound dumb...How do you get both of your front jack pads on jack stands? I mean if you jack the car up at the jack pad, how do you replace it with the jack stand? I'm pretty probably missing something simple, but I can't figure it out! Great video!

    • @SamAbraham
      @SamAbraham 18 днів тому

      I raise the car from the front central jacking point, you'll see it on a cross brace below the oil pan. If your car is too low for that (mine is now), I use one of my jacks to raise a car from the side, then slide my larger jack under the central point to raise it higher before adding the stands. If you only have one jack, then parking the car with both front wheels on a couple 2x4s should do the trick

I would go louder but I'm not consistently going out the track, and I daily my S63. plus after owning a G37X with a Tomei single exit to the y pipe, no cats removed mind you and that shit had so much drone, and was loud enough you could literally hear my ass coming from a mile and a half away after a while the drone was getting to me a bit and was a little annoying.

      Some chassis do require you to drop the subframe though I don't believe that is true on the W204, which is almost exactly the same underneath as the 207.
