they're about £200 per disc from alpina.

Would you mind a floating setup? Theres a guy here in the UK who makes a bell which can fit several different disc sizes and one of them is suitable for this setup. If 300mm.de don't sell any more i think thats the route i'll be taking

ITs how it should be Mick, could be a lambda sensor or MAF but normally you get a loss in performance, rougher running, hessitation under load from these two i must confess i ran...

so can you e46 owners get 350 miles to a tank plus?

i'll be honest my e36 when switch-tronic struggled to get decent mpg. Since converting to manual, i normally get 320 miles minimum absolute worst. Best has been 420.

please don't think its limited to M3's only its happened thoughtout the engine range.

Hence the 318i comment as they can barely muster 150lbs of torque, which is hardly going to rip the floor out.......but it can!

no but alpinas are valued much higher in europe. e36's command well over £6,000 and they're bottom of the tree as the older stuff is big dollars

e46 b3s are like 9-15 grand still and more

Dingy its a 5 speed ya? iirc those boxes use ATF, but there will be a sticker on the box telling you which type of oil to use could be 80/90 also

Best to get it in the air and have a look.
