    m3 e46 is my dream car too man, i drive an automatic 328i e90 07’ Naturally Aspirated around 200 hp do you think i should go to a 325i ci or 330 coupe or save up for the m3 ? i know how to drive manual, i know how to slide my 328i pretty well but i want to be able to stay in first or second without it jumping gears for me, what do you guys think ?

    @@ayethatskj9932 If you don't want to save up for the m3, definitely go for the 330. I have a 01 330ci right now and I love it. The m3's have a few more necessary maintenance things you have to take care of compared to the 330, but definitely worth it if you can afford it or know how to work on theses cars.

    As a person that has come from a 330 to an e46 m3, you need to get one. Two entirely different cars. I could never go back. The e46 m3 is a car everyone must drive. There are no modern BMW's that can EVER compare to the rawness and the driver's experience of an e46 m3

    Very informative video. I ask you to consider showing completely the upgade you talk about. For example, on the second car you mentioned that he swapped out something on the center console that changed the location of the switches, yet had an O.E.M look. I've owned an e46 before and I'm looking to get another. I would lean O.E.M with mods, so I would have liked to see what that change was.

    You don’t ‘need’ to run the alpha n tune on a CSL install, the correct way is the CSL clone map with a map sensor and AIT sensor. Alpha N is a default map that the car resorts to when it has no MAF….its the cheap way of having a CSL style intake. It’s rough as compared to the CSL tune. If your car is 2003> you most likely have the MSS54HP ecu so can flash the CSL tune if it’s pre face lift you get the ecu MSS54 cloned to the CSL ecu and run the correct software
