Lets see your e46 m3 thread

[M3dragon]

been a fan of this car all through adolescence into adulthood. I ended up going to sac state and always hoped that I would see it around or at the local cars and coffee. Unfortunately I never did. Glad to see that you still have it.

If still local let me know which cars and coffee you are going to and will see if I can make it. Hope to make it to a EuroSunday here again soon.

Finally installed my Karbonius CSL airbox. Bought it in January 2022… Now still need to find time to install the Schricks 280/272 cams and BMW Motorsport 4.44 pinion ring! At least, the car will remain low mileage, didn’t drive it this year…

I think recognize that airbox....

Slicktop in Socal???

Slicktop E46 & slicktop E90

lol, for me the 50lb weight loss wasn't worth not having the sunroof...

I love cruising along the 101 with the top back and the windows down

I see why most guys don't care, but for us Cali guy the sunroof is money

I think I've opened my sunroof once just to see if it worked

[Tbonem3]

Never opened my e36's sunroof in 6 years in Socal. Had a slicktop e82 as well. Windows down is enough for me. I do see the allure of a vert, top down, with an airbox installed. I see no benefit to a moonroof/sunroof, personally. Only drawbacks (less headroom, more weight, more complexity/cost/failure, another possible way for UV to damage interior.

I love the way the car looks when the sunroof is “tilted” and I pretty much ALWAYS have the tilt going.

To me, that outweighs any benefit of the CF/slick roofs

[EthanolTurbo]

E46 M3 and E90 M3 desperately need slicktops because they are so porky.

[Slideways]

Sunroof gives you a perfectly good excuse to get a carbon roof

Also no wind noise with a slick top.

My sunroof decided when it wanted to open and close, as if it had free will, rain or shine. I'd be cruising down the highway and it would fully open on it's own. Or tilt. Or go from tilt to fully open and back again.

I yanked the fuse after chasing the issue for a while (new switches, traced wires for pinching, etc.). That was janky. So the only logical decision was to cut the roof out and put carbon in its place.
