I have an E46 330i and the only performance item I have is the Signature Motoring performance CAI for about $160. The performance kit adds around 13.5HP on the dyno, sounds freaking great, and installs in under 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
-13.5 HP increase
-Lifetime filter
-SOUND AWESOME
-30 min. install time
Aside from the power gain, the SOUND is amazing at higher RPM but sounds normal in regular driving. I’m thinking about added high-flow exhaust next.
Ok - Ovi... He didn't say M3 wheels. He said M wheels and the sport package coupe comes with M sport wheels, however the wheels on this car were not stock with the car, Style 68 wheels were, which are M-Sport 5 spoke design and very light.
For those considering these cars - Auto's with ZF transimissions from 2002 after don't have no-reverse problems. Those with GM transmission do have some issue with no-reverse but it's easily fixable and not a catastrophic failure.
@legt8est1234 i havent had that problem yet, nor has anyone else i know driving one, not yet anyway......but what people needs to realize is that no matter the make of the car, trannys, front ends, rear ends, sensors, water pumps, etc etc are not what any company is known for making. youre gonna have to replace these on any car. The main thing they are known for is motor....raw motor. how long will it last before it dies. which on any car, most people trade off before they even get that far
These, and many other BMW's, have had (or probably will have) problems with the automatic transmission, mainly that they will not go in reverse. It's quite disappointing, especially since BMW won't even accept responsibility for this.
The interior is perfect. I don't see one tear of cigg burn...nothing. The wheels and tint really set it apart from the other ones out there. For 15k this will sell fast. The Ci has posi-traction which really makes it better then a reg 3 series. It's like a M3 with out the insane insurance rates.
nothing like a 2 door BMW
