The E46 looks much more robust than the E36 IMHO. I would put in the Signature Motoring performance intake kit for only around $150 and gain up to 13HP on the stock output for the 330i and a bit less for the 325 and 328. I highly recommend this item, see my youtube channel for the action video on it.
Nothing is integrated its an m3 with an m5 power train and ecu, they kept the stock m3 cluster so they didnt have to redo a whole new custom dash to fit the m5 cluster
... ah.. wasnt sure how integrated the components are. I think the E39 cluster would fit ok though. The interior is similar. I'd be surprised if they kept the OEM ecu though. Do you know this for certain?
I don't thin you know shit. Integrating the E39 ECU would cause the cluster to light up like an Christmas tree. The cluster more than a simple tach and speedo on the E46 and E39s.
Ok my friend i duno shit hehe i only have an m3 with an m5 engine and i got the m5 cluster aswell but decided to keep the m3 cluter so it looks stock and everything works fine no xmass tree and my ecu is the m5 one, the ecu has to be for the motor u put it cant be any other way ..good day
@E30m3EvoVIIIMR laf... e30 cluster isn't an e46 cluster... I am well aware you can take the M5 ECU and an E30 cluster and have no xmas tree. not hard. but thats not what Hartge did, nor was that what my comment was about.
@jasonhutchcraft look at the power curves, a peaky Tq curve and a low RPM redline. 400HP out of 6.2L, ya, its nothing to write home about. Any dullard can make that happen.
This model still looks great,i think im gonna buy me a lottery ticket today.

-Installs in round 45min.
-Guaranteed HP increase
-Induction sound to die for
-Awesome fit/finish.
See my video of how it sounds AND performs!

hmm... they integrated the stock E46M3 cluster and didn't just grab the E39M5 cluster.

it would fit but probably not a perfect fit and the ecu is for the m5 motor ofcourse

anyone know if its possible to fit a chevy 6.2 L ls3 engine into a m3 e46. cus thatd be sick. especially if it was was fitted with twin turbos
EPIK562 2 years ago
why would you put such a pos engine in this car?
krapfeaster 2 years ago
WTF?

The LS3 is NOT a pos engine. You are clearly out of your mind.
