Well shoot... after installing the driveshaft it hit the fan.
I didn't know that I had to adjust the pressure plate when I installed a new clutch.
Now it is grinding gears when I try to out it into R. It goes into 1 now and then.
Taking it to the dealership to finish the job.

Gotta pull the trans.
Wait so you installed a new clutch and pressure plate or clutch disc? If you did a whole new clutch and pressure plate you need to run through the clutch break in procedure and clutch wear point test plan as well. If you did just a clutch disc then they clutch plate would need to be reset as with all e46s its a self adjusting clutch so you need to special tool to turb back the springs when isntalling. Eitherway unfortunately this is what happens in the enthusiast world when guys think they can work on it all themselves on vehicles/systems they know nothing about. Hate to see it but I see it often.

Alright if your not going to do anything with this just use AAA and tow it down to me. I will get is started for you no problem.

Need some E46 M3 injectors tested and rebuilt. Anyone know of a place local or at least in the midwest?

You will need to tow it to concours and have them bleed the system along with the clutch adaptation as you installed a new clutch. If the smg isn't in neutral it won't start. Also the hood needs to be closed or it won't start either.

Did it overheat or anything? Coolant in oil? I could help but would need to be towed to my shop in IL.

As much as I'm thankful you didn't have kumrow do the work. Doing it in your garage without a lift will be so much of a pain in the ass. Dropping the subframe is really needed to get in there. But good luck to you. We just installed a pair of Hexon r550s in a e90 335i and long with motiv port injection. The power is insane even at only 15psi.

To me being a e36 it's not worth it to even fix honestly. I'd put full coverage on it wait till spring, claim on insurance which they will for surely total it and take what you can get. Otherwise scrape it. If it was a low mileage m3 then that would be another story.
-
$1050 is an awesome price if they are doing the labor of removing the subframe and such. Lowest I've seen from a good bodyshop is $2k

Oh my god! It's this real!? I don't believe it! 4 years after talking to you saying you were about 4 months out, it's finally open!

Usually o-ring and MLS isn't recommended as it's a metal layered gasket. O-ring and factory gasket is what people do it O-ringing. Do you know how much you would be milling down? With low compression pistons MLS usually isn't needed. Unless you think your going to be increasing the compression that much which I wouldn't think the issue would be. Eitherway run e85 and you won't have an issue. If you think your pistons or rods have issues send them out to get analized. They can tell you with doing an xray on them. Better be safe then sorry.

This was my thought on buying one. Now that I know that I will be switching to getting on the list for a m4 gts. That for sure will make money if I can still get on the list for only $10k over msrp.I like how the one guy said he might cancel his deposit and wait now because of this haha

Don't worry, I took pat's place for faulty N54 injectors. Cyl 5 & 6 leak pretty bad. Gonna be doing a refresh with all index 12's this weekend.
Don't forget to get them coded to the vehicle afterwords.

Kumrow...o boy. As far as the m3 arms just get the Turner kit. It includes all 4 rear arms you need.
-
Last question being who is doing the work?
-
What I am saying is the coils/shocks is what will regulate a harsher ride. The solid rear bushings and such mostly just make road and differential noise louder. If it were me I'd do solid aluminum subframe bushings with the Mfactory diff bushings as that will cut down on most of the noise. Also do all m3 control arms in the rear at a minimum. I have the GC camber arms for more adjustability. I'd keep sway bars till the end after you drive it and see what you like. For a e90 set up a lot of people for track wise at least do the e90 m3 front sway bar and remove the stock rear sway bar completely and run nothing. But again this depends what coils you run. I run JRZ rs pro's with remote resvoirs so it's a couple steps up from your kw cs.
-
There is a reason anyone that mods a m3 suspension upgrades to different bushings. It's funny seeing normal e90 customer say ya im Upgrading to m3 bushings to stif fen up the car they are a big difference. Then talking to a e90 m3 owner saying his rear end drivability sucks with stock bushings. I have solid rear subframe bushings and poly differential bushings algon with a diff brace. This is on a e92 335i with wavetrac lsd. All rear suspension arms are m3 along with both upper and lower front control arms. It is no harsher then stock. Just a little diff noise can be heard that's all. The solid buswings and such don't really add to harshness that's more of the shocks/springs doing. Also with any suspension sway bars is the last thing you change and that is only to fine tune the suspension. I'd start with the coilovers, a track alignment and see were you stand from there.
-
Which rear subframe bushings did you go with? I hope they aren't m3. It's not worth the upgrade. Also make sure to get some diff bushings as well.

I have what you need. But am located in Lake in the hills IL

When the time comes, I'll need some upgrade twins and an LSD installed in my N54.
We are an authorized Wavetrac dealer and have done almost a dozen upgraded twins from RB, Varga and Helix. So we have you covered when your ready!

There is a certain way to go about 99Designs though. Do a little research on how you can market your "request" so it gets picked up by good designers.
I wouldn't let this current set of logos get you too frustrated. To be honest, he gave you a lot of decent options. The results are on par with average in this industry, but the price seems a little high. If 99Designs falls thru, I'd be happy to take a stab at designing a logo and business card. I just can't print the business cards. Good luck!
Do you have any informations regarding boosting my request to good designers?

I speak the truth whether you want to hear it or not. This wasn't a call out to him individually, saying he cant work on cars right. This was to the bmw community as a whole. Its one thing to work on e30s and e36s but once you get into a technical system like smg or such you need to know whay your doing as you can cause serious damage if you dont. Hell if he would have drove it for awhile he could have done serious damage to the transmission.
