Cookie Monster Build ... LSB E46
This site is what got me started on my first BMW build so, I'll continue the tradition ...
Although this build is not an E90 or any of your current BMW chassis it is still a BMW and most importantly its in Hawaii. My newest project is a 2004 Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3. I bought the car a few months back and have been slacking ... No more slacking time to get these parts out of the house and on the car. The car has high miles so the first thing that I wanted to work on was giving the motor a fresh tune up. Took it to A&A to get the valves adjusted, spark plugs changed, and flushed out all the liquids including the rear diff. Here is a pic of the car as she sits now ... I’ll be updating this thread as I get more things done.

Next on the list was to tighten everything up. The E46 are known to have subframe problems such as cracking so I decided to address that first.
We will be using HPF subframe plates with AKG Bushing. While the car is up in the air I decied to change out the FCAB and RTAB too. I wanted this project to really pop so I’ll be doing and blue and yellow theme ... Here are a few pics of the powder coated subframe and AKG bushings.

If I move back to Oahu, I can't imagine how much money I have to put down again for it to be "legal" there. Cousins telling me I have to pay for a permit for a lowered car? What else is there? Cat-less allowed, muffler delete's? Shipping to Hi should be a little bit extra isn't it? But I do miss home.

Okay okay ... Just for you
Staying on the topic of making the car tight ... I decided to change out the stock shocks, struts and springs. I got a great deal on some KW V2s so i'll be running those. Still on the fence on springs and camber plates.
