5 Mods you loved / 5 Mods you didn't

[Tbonem3]

I would love a CSL sect 2 & 3, but can't pay so much for such a small upgrade.

[CachacoE46]

Best so far, 3M Crystalline 70 all around. Stock locking and a huge difference in heat rejection. Maybe it's only my car but heat inside is much higher than all other cars I've had.

can't really think of 5 but here are some that I liked and didnt like

best:
engine mounts
recaro seats
turner monoball rtab

worst:
rtd shifter
poly diff bushings

-spherical bearings rear upper & lower control arms

Noise from the bearings?

I lol'd at seibon, were they ever supposed to be any good? All these pseudo cf companies make me smh, everything is always a compromise. Buy it right and buy it once.

My buddy has a seibon hood and trunk I think on his e60 m5 and that shit is straight trash. Unfortunately none of my taste has rubbed off on him.

Yeah the sphericals were making noise/were loose with some play after 1 track event… and I could feel the loose/play while driving…

I bought the Seibon CSL trunk used for like 400$ and it was for a dedicated track car. I installed it and 10 minutes after I removed it from the car cause fitment was crap… and it was a dedicated track car LOL, can’t understand people with cheap replica parts on their street/show car…

[jet_dogg]

Which brand on those so we know to avoid LOL!

That makes sense if it's a track car but damn still after ten minutes hahaa.

All those parts are a waste of money no matter how cheap they appear to be at first glance whereas quality parts at 5x the cost are not, to me at least.

What kind of modified engine mounts did you go with that you liked a lot?

I think they were Rogue. But on a side note, the track I destroyed them on is an airport so track is concrete and really rough on tires/bushings/bearings/gears.

On the old m3, the vibra was nice. On my current, I’m running a new oem and that’s been nice too lol

[Altaran]

Best:
1. Öhlins TTX 46/40 custom suspension setup
2. AP Racing Brakes
3. Recaro PP Carbon Leather Seats
4. Carbon Airbox (duh)
5. Normal E46 Steering Rack swap with Bumpsteer corrected end rods

Worst:
1. ChaseBays steering hose kit (by far: leakage, bad heat dissipation. Their support is good, but that does not make up for a bad product)
2. 95A Urethane tranny mounts. Feels like the car is desintegrating when lifting of at 5k rpm.
3. Li-Ion Battery without BMS (one time out of power and its trash. Replaced with a BMS controlled Li-Ion bateery, no problems since)
4. Non dyno generic tune. Just does not feel 100%.
5. Empty, will find something in the time to come

looks awesome. Is that an e92 M3 steering wheel? Does that swap in?

just picked up my e46 and the stock wheel is thin and a little worse for wear. I ran a coby wheel wrapped e92 wheel on my e92 and it was great. Would be nice to run one on the e46 if it fits properly without much trouble.

ZCP wheel (for an E46 M3)
