On TRACK - Can a humble E46 M3 keep up with the M2 👀 ???
What happens when the E46 M3 meets its spiritual successor, the M2 on track? One was born in the late 90s, whilst the production for the M2 started around 18 years later. Is the M2 quicker? If so, by how much!?

NIGHTMARE! E46 M3 Underside Refurb

Check out all the things we did to it over a period of 8 months. This is the Piston Lab E46 M3 with a build date of November 2002. It has around 115,000 Miles on the clock. After spending its entire life in the UK, things are quite tired. What started out as a refresh of all the front arms and bushes, quickly escalated into a much bigger project. All genuine BMW parts were purchased from: www.a...
Epic e-Kart battles at Bankstown Entertainment Park

The Piston Lab crew in Australia head out to The Entertainment Park in Bankstown to try out their track. Cool little track with some very responsive and zippy e-Karts. We had some epic battles and had fun filtering through traffic. Although the speed is nothing like the stuff we do on the racetrack, the adrenalin hit is all the same, the close quarters wheel to wheel racing really get you pumpe...

Thanks to @analogue_thrills (Instagram handle), I got the opportunity to drive this Group A rally homologation special. Built to celebrate Colin McRae's maiden and only WRC championship win.

There is a lot of hype around the Defender and the price has gone through the roof. But what if you wanted something a bit more classy, a bit less agriculture?

Did Vanlife ruin the North Coast 500!?

The North Coast 500 (NC500) is one of the most epic drives on Earth, but was my decision to drive a camper van instead of the M3 or the Alpina a bad one? Did I ruin this whole trip?

Thanks for the info. It definitely solved my center caps rattling.
Glad it helped. I found it will loosen over time.
@@DWI_Community indeed, but at least now i know what to do thanks to you. It's an easy fix
Trying to figure out if these are approved for use with the Sportster CS seats. I found this warning text: "Please note: These harnesses are designed to be used in stock seats that have passed a seat back strength test. Quick Fit harnesses are not approved for use with any fixed back or aftermarket seats with the following exceptions: The Cobra Nogaro and Recaro Pole Position ABE are approved for use with QuickFIt harnesses in already approved vehicles. " Have you found any info saying otherwise?
@@tdottme no further information. Although the Sportster CS in my car is an OEM seat from a Megane RS Trophy. It's also the M Performance seat in the E9x generation cars.
I love my 1994 LWB with 297K on the original 4.2 and transmission. It's been my daily mule in the mountains for 10 years, all climates, all conditions, all elevations, all terrain, conquered with ease. Never stuck, never worried about getting stuck. Yes it will have mechanical issues, but I'm a mechanic, so I have had good "luck" with it.
@@burtron455 nice man, those LWB cars are very rare. Where are you based?
Hate I’m just now seeing this after I ordered another cap for $200 US, if it works, I will return 👍🏾
In addition to this. We found if you add 1 loop of painter's tap on the L shaped piece attached to the lock, it will be even better
Is it still available for rent on Nordschleife?
Sadly we sold it last winter. It's now with the new owner and still being driven on the Ring. Not as a rental though
Does the motor sound comes with standard ? insane

Yeah. now these are widely demanded by European investors/collectors/restoration giants, Aspen residents of course... used to be able to beat these offroading cheap in Usa... now a fella cant find abandoned/rotted/no title roach project for under $3500!! I know a guy breaking them, from USA, shipping the valuable interiors/burl/dash/ drivelines to breakers in Europe/England now making a fortune! All cheap parts classics are getting hoarded by wealthy Classic owners for parts now.... AAAAAARRRRGGGGG
Yeah so many once undesired and cheap classics are now unobtainium money
Need vid of you actually doing it
💪💪💪🚗🚗👍👍🔥🔥🔥👊👊
What an asshole driver. Ever heard of something called the speed limit?
This guy is a very bad passenger 😳
Well done; great car, glad you seeing a dream fulfilled. Now, drive the livin' @#$% out of it.
Thanks mate, love the positive comment! Dream come true for sure.
Great cars. I had a Speed Yellow 996.1 GT3 CS for many years and was the best car I've owned by some margin. Had a Manthey K400 upgrade, Mk 2 brakes, Cup Steering wheel and was set up for track by a well known Porsche UK specialist. Really miss that car.
Sounds like quite a build! What did you replace it with?
How is Deadweight battery holding after these years and do you charge it with alternator or use something to not burn battery or alternator?
Still on the same battery after all these years. It's never needed anything other than the alternator (which the battery is specifically designed for). I've actually just shipped the car to Australia and it even started after a 3 month boat ride 😅 pleasantly surprised!
@@DWI_Community Alternator? Do you need new one or special alternator to charge battery? I have factory alternator 180A and I’m worried about burning it or battery. So what kind of alternator did you buy?
@@pawelludew291 standard alternator. All their batteries are made to work with standard alternators. Zero mods. All the electronic parameters are handled by the battery management system inside.
@@DWI_Community How did you code or register lifepo4 battery?
@@pawelludew291 don't need to. They're designed to work with standard charge profile. Also F3x does not have lithium option anyways so coding is pointless
Back when I was younger I had a couple of Scoobys N Reg Sti 555 limited Roof vent in blue. N Reg Sti RA v2 white estate Both cars were excellent 👌 to drive, fast quick cars & sound was awesome. Man I miss them days

What did you smoke today?
my 2001 SF5 forester GT - I put a ej207 sti ra jdm short block in - fully reco heads = wow so smooth and a great little engine , only TDO4 turbo with 440cc injectors - running in = 7,500kl only - 5 oil changes and new STI filter .
Sounds like a great conversion. Those 2.0L are so much more robust than the 2.5L engines
More capable off road than a defender, I've owned 3 RRC, well looked after they are decent. Remember, this was the flagship of the LR fleet hence more money was spent on development and more money was spent on quality of components than lower members of the LR family 👍
100% mate
Defenders has shorter overhang so they are way better offroad. I have driven both in competion trial and there is no doubt that the Defender is better ;)
@@robertdrum6857 they don't have a shorter overhang than a Bobtail and they don't have a 3.9 V8. I've thrashed Defenders and RRCs around off road and a bobbed RRC eat defenders for breakfast, every morning ;-) Check out Devon 4x4 Rainforest Challenge 👍
It's design really is timeless (like the original Mini), and there is a market for the 3-door RR if someone was to start building them. The trouble is that they would be silly money. I was lucky enough to have a 3-door Vogue RR converted to automatic.
Prices of the 3 door has 🚀
From 91 to 05 I was responsible for foundry tooling approval dimensional reports and Engineering deviation reports of the Landrover Aluminium V8 block and head , also Storm TD5 Aluminium head but not block.

Lovely leisurely cruse through the ring!
Best road for cruising with mates!
The car is home bro!

what exhaust is this it has a really nice note
Owner said its a Group A rally car exhaust- can't remember if it were a replica or genuine. Absolutely howls!
What size of tires mounts with speedlines?
215/40/17 Weird to look at how small they are with modern eyes!
Mine doesn't make that sound. Did you have make some change ?
No changes, it's completely stock. However the microphone is mounted on rear bumper near exhaust exit. Sounds much quieter inside the car
Rose among thorns!
Version 1 type ra’ came in white or red actually
Yes but this one is a Version 2 👌

you did not READ !
Hey what color is ur e46 m3?
Mystic blue?
Topaz Blue 💙
@@DWI_Community thanks man
Nice video!
Thank you sir!
Great work lads! Nice setup! That battery is impressive too!
Thanks man 🙌
Did you charge that battery was it connected all that time ? I have the bigger one dies after a few months if stood. Car sounded amazing going past on the track motorsport rasp underrated noise. Im gonna be doing underside upgrades come summer in my garden with possibly a mobile welder for bad spots if any then the Vince brace /epoxy if isn’t too bad previous owner hd the subframe bushings done but that’s as far he went . let’s see in two minds about ‘upgrading’ to a e92 m3 but I’m not a fan of them even though they are great cars also.
We had the negative disconnected to stop the parasitic drain. Zero maintenance otherwise. If it was the lead acid battery, it probably would have died in that time!
Driven both E92 and E46 extensively on this channel... E92 is a easier car go drive to doubt, feels more modern and capable, great V8 noises. However, E46 is harder to drive, requires more thinking and user input to go fast, which is a nice challenge in this modern world!
Oh yeah, and both cars are money pits 😅😅😅
@@DWI_Community yeah I hadthe e92 also the f80 too big for me. if I lived in Europe or USA I’d defo be sticking with the e92 but here in the U.K. I’m good with my humble e46 m3 roadcar on these small roads and high fuel prices 👍🏻 enjoy
Brilliant job, I want to try doing this to mine
Yeah thanks buddy. If you're in the UK, worth taking bits off and having a look. Tackle the rust before it takes hold. It was a fun project to do with mates
Wow, that battery..! 😮💪
It weighs only 4kgs! I still can't get over that 👀
Loving it dude. ❤I‘ve been working on UK E46 before and the weather in the UK is killing those cars. 😮
They are very fond of salt! Definitely need to apply under car protection yearly!
What a journey! Let's do it again!
What are we building next!?!?
Nice one!
Thanks mate 🙌
Prodrive used Renault blue 242 on the early cars. But, I think the 555 edition was 53c.
Oh interesting, are you saying this darker blue is a Renault colour?
actually re-read. Given that this is a 555 edition, it's 53c?
@@DWI_Community The Prodrive built Group A rally cars were the Renault color.
Sick car....thanks for sharing guys
We love this car. Thanks for watching!
Looks great fun!
Haha it was! You can't race this close on a track day!
Porsche panamera 4.0V8 D
I should clarify "at time of release" which is 2013 this car topped out at 175mph. Yes the Porsche Panamera 4.0 V8 Ds hit the market in 2017 and has a top speed of 177mph. ALPINA D5s 2017 also hits 177mph All a bit theoretical, even on the Autobahn!
I have e46 316i . what engine should I move on?
Tough one, but the S65 is glorious and is oversized for that chassis which means extra fun!
it won the dakar rally
Really? Didn't know that... proper pedigree 👌
@@DWI_Community sure, as if it were made for it
It won in 1979 and 1981( i think it was) before the competitors took over by factory sponsored cars. Shame that land rover never sponsed the dakar rally.
@@robertdrum6857Maybe, but during my safaris to Tunisia and Libya my standard Toyota was way above any Range Rover.
the RRC in the video got a hood closing problem...
You sure it's not just the panel gap? Good ol' RRC build quality 😅
Just bought one of these, holy shit they fly
Congrats man! that constant pull of torque is pretty addictive isn't it? And because it's properly engineered by Alpina along with all the cooling, it will do it all day.
🙂
If only we got to do a video of HellBoy...
The road going 996.1 GT3 was NOT built at Porsche Motorsport in Weissach. It is a common mistake people make. I wrote Porsche an email to clearify and the told me only track cars are built at Weissach. All street legal GT3' are built in Zuffenhausen like the other models.
Oh that's really interesting and first I've ever heard of it!
@@DWI_Community It surprised me too. But when you start digging in history it becomes clear 🙂
@@sbuskov good work getting that info from Porsche. What made you start digging?
@@DWI_Community I own an '04 .2 GT3 Clubsport and just wanted know as much as I could about the model. I noticed mixed information regarding which plant built the 996.1's so decided to ask Porsche themselves 😅
