Oh, I thought that they did. Have you had any expensive repairs or anything with your car after 100k miles. I was only wondering because i have heard from bmw owner that their cars usually start to have expensive repairs after 100k miles.
I was thinking about how nice this sounds then I suddenly realized you were getting on the parkway off North St. You live about 10 minutes away! Haha nice car..
sick sound and e46 m3 dude. got the same car but mustard yellow, carbon fibre intake and a/c schnizer exaust. But i like the sound of the csl airbox... kinda sounds like an integra type r but with way more power.
light weight, optimized for tire sizing, 8000 ton forged, BBK clearing, no spacers or rings required, 18". Styling is subjective, but from a functional perspective there is no better street setup.
So what is the total price of the exhaust? Because this is by far the best one ive heard. And I may get an E46 so thats why I would want to know! Thanks
awsome sound and look :-) so wat was it like to drive then compared too stock? must have been a big difference in throttle response and the way the power was delivered as a whole throughout the rpm range...and what were your final hp figures? please reply seriously thinking going down this route wen i get mine....
It sounds amazing. The exhaust is nice but the airbox (oncomming sounds) is really fantastic I like the address on the mailbox he passes too....343 (HP).... hehe!! Very nice!! Love this car
Gosh I wish I had a scorza muffler so I could do this setup. I just feel that with my top speed race muffler it'll be far too loud with headers. I do have ar20's however.
I've had two pictures of this Bimmer as my PC wallpaper for the pas few months as motivation for getting an E46 M3. Amazing to see the very same one in action.
Hey man, I really love your car, and I'm in the market for an E46. I was just wondering, what kind of headlights are those? I'm guessing the angel eyes are aftermarket. Either way, looks amazing
www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=224314 I've removed the angel eyes since this video, but the rest of the headlight setup is as is detailed there.
Perfect sound,this how standard e46 m3 should have sounded
This is the best sounding M3, period.
that really sounds great... love my e46 M3. anyone with one for sale?
Inspiration. Did you do all the work on this car yourself? Props on the valentine 1 integrated into the dash too.
Best induction sound in the world
depends what you're looking for.
Best lap times: SMG
more fun daily driver: 6mt
cheaper running cost: 6mt
can't drive stick: smg
Driven stick since 1973. But lost right leg in 2007: SMG
CSL software for the SMG.
@@deplorabledave1048 One legit is. a super legit reason to prefer SMG.
I knew these roads looked familiar. Back country Greenwich!

I want E46 M3 before I die. Of course I want something like an Audi R8 or Mercedes G-Class if I'm rich, but I want at least an E46 M3 6-speed...
they do have expensive repairs if you dont perform preventative maintenance. the unloader of this video has a thread for maintenance on m3forum . net
@Motorhead0007 Looks like another E46 M3. Kinda goes to show all the bolt on stuff even CSL intake doesn't really net much for power.
@st33fie just dont fuck around with it too much the first month or so, you'll be just fine :)
DROOL!!!!!!! Id rip the radio out and toss it out the window if mine sounded like that!!
what kind of rims is that? and size??? I really wanna know and really like them
The day i own a car this caliber is the day that the police took my licence
what was the camera car? it looked like it kept up pretty good with the m3.
what wheels are those ? 18x8.5f 9.5r what brand ?
Fuck I want that airbox! That sound is orgasmic!
yes. the vac csl airbox as used in this video.
car sounds good man.. what part of PA u in?
WHO ELSE SAW THE FLAME AT 1:53 ????
cars dont lose HP for high miles.
Sounds fantastic. I couldn't decide whether to do a rasp-delete until now. Thanks.
Wow, just love it! Great sounding M3! Is that a E39 M5 at the beginning of the video? 2 epic cars! +1
At the start of the video on startup there is a ticking noise, did you find out what it was? I have very similar ticking on my S54
Solid lifters. Aka, stock S54 behavior.
I was thinking about how nice this sounds then I suddenly realized you were getting on the parkway off North St. You live about 10 minutes away! Haha nice car..
@obioban oh ok, thanks a lot.
sick sound and e46 m3 dude. got the same car but mustard yellow, carbon fibre intake and a/c schnizer exaust. But i like the sound of the csl airbox... kinda sounds like an integra type r but with way more power.
So moral of the story.. Full exhaust and cdl intake ($5-6k?) barely beats an m3 with a cameraman /passenger!! Sick sound though :p
just had a pants explosion
@RTree613 There's a thread on M3forum. Do a search for threads started by obioban with subject containing "airbox". RUclips won't let me post a link.

@Tchleung CSL intake is probably the worst power/$ mod sold for this car.
Headers and a tune are your good power/$ mods, short of FI
@obioban you replied to the wrong person.
Btw, the car sounds great, I'm from the forum :)
it is smg or 6speed?
So what is the total price of the exhaust? Because this is by far the best one ive heard. And I may get an E46 so thats why I would want to know! Thanks

Good shit obioban.
Oh alright thanks
No there was not... though I don't actually have any parts of this exhaust/intake setup anymore :P
badass!!
It sounds amazing. The exhaust is nice but the airbox (oncomming sounds) is really fantastic
I like the address on the mailbox he passes too....343 (HP).... hehe!!
Very nice!! Love this car
are 6 speed better then the smg cos ive seen alot of ppl are complaining about the smg gear box
@obioban agreed!
Lol pwnt!! That's sick it sounds amazing. Is there any drone/resonance at cruising freeway speeds?
Gosh I wish I had a scorza muffler so I could do this setup. I just feel that with my top speed race muffler it'll be far too loud with headers. I do have ar20's however.
I think visually they do nothing for such a beautiful car imo of course
@cali311soca I meant the ECU software tune-- I have Evolve's software. Valve lifter shims I DIY :P
I've had two pictures of this Bimmer as my PC wallpaper for the pas few months as motivation for getting an E46 M3. Amazing to see the very same one in action.
@whygodrums10 Mine has 127K on it and runs just as great. These cars are built to last!
Are there CSL airboxes that don't require the MAF sensor deletion?
if god were to make a car with a beautiful sound this would be it!
the absolute best sounding NA E46 M I've heard thus far. Wow, just wow. The exhaust note of the E46 M is very underated
What angel eyes do you have? They look super bright and a good white color!
Also, did u have this car dyno'd? if so, how much power did it make?
@asifyouforgot
I've DIYed everything on the car other than the tune.
to this day this is still one of the best exhaust set ups for the e46m. the vast majority sound terrible. like really bad.
This thing is sick! Love the angels, csl trunk, and the sound. Very nice vid!
top notch work man! it sounds great and looks great. I never knew e46's could sound so beastly
Except the camera car was a full exahust/tuned/intaked M5 :)
Obi thats epic bro, was that an e39 m5 doing the camera work?
Hassan Eido It was. A non stock one :P
hahah epic stuff
Great video! but you need to do some downshifts man..
Wont be long now Obioban, just put my order in with Scoza
Except the camera car was a full exahust/tuned/intaked M5 :)
These things are amazing. What a fantastic sound, ITBs and exhaust.
@coinsagE46m3 good to know. my father just picked up an 06 ZHP
What setup do you have currently? Do you like it more?
about how much hp did your car lose at 100k miles?
Perfect...and i love that it haves just a tad bit of rasp that its not deleted all
They were EAS. These days I have none, took them out.
holy^%&s%^#& I ALMOST cried
when i saw it man
This is what I want my E46 M3 to sound like. Goddamn that's hot!
Where was this filmed? Absolutely beautiful! PS Best sounding e46 M3 I've heard!
Wow. There are so many opinions out. I really hope you answer this. What have you done as permanent fix for subframe and VANOS issues?
Subframe: BMW structural foam and reddish plates
Vanos: the full suite of Beisan s54 vanos products

Oh my I just need that exhaust and hedders for mine to sound like that😁
Dude them wheels r horrible
damn. 109k and its running that great?
How much did you pay for the CSL airbox?
Is there any drone? I know you were testing it in the video, but it's really hard to tell through speakers. Thanks
juryjury none
i ment that they break alot?
@RTree613 Malvern
at 1:54 shot some flames =)
Whats the percentage of tint?
Best looking e46 M3 ever
@pimpsahan55 6 speed
nice! what wheels are those? 17s?
18" RAC RG-63's
I love this car
@krapfeaster CSL rep
How do you like the JVT headers? Did they fit right on, or did you have to do some additional welding? The price is very enticing...lol.
They fit terribly, and had half the gains of then SS V1 stepped headers I have on the car now.
Well... I guess you get what you pay for then, right? Haha, thanks for the response. Love your car man.
i love this sound
1:54 FLAMES!
Awesome!
sounds absolutely great man! you got onto jalopnik with this video. I never knew an M3 could sound so super-car like
