bmw 330/bmw m3 aftermarket parts?

by Reed on December 13, 2009

okay the same aftermarket parts that could be used for the bmw m3(2001-2005)
could the same aftermarket parts be used for the bmw 330ci(2001-2005)?

the same parts could used as in cold air intakes and mufflers, but as in engine parts no, because the m3 has different motor internals as the 330ci

by Reed on December 9, 2009

Hey guys what BMW is it that has that hump on the right side of the hood? Is it a M series car or what? I cannot figure it out. I saw one out on the road, but now im not sure if it was a BMW or not.
Thanks

how much will a slight scratch on a new white bmw m3’s hood cost?

by Reed on December 9, 2009

and what should be used to buff it out?

Depending on the severity of the scratch, length, depth, you can try a few different approaches.

1. wax over it, it may be very shallow.

2. Get a good quality swirl remover/polish. Nothing too abrasive. Go to town with a cloth and be sure to rub only in one direction…front to back/back front or side to side. This will limit the number of swirls you will create.

3. Same polish with a random orbit or normal buffer. Be careful with this one, you can eat through a lot of layers very quickly.

4. Maybe step up to a slightly more abrasive polish.

5. Take it to a pro and have them try and/or repaint.

To have a detailer take out the scratch and only the scratch you are probably looking at around $50 maybe less. To have it repainted you are in the $150+ range if it’s the whole hood.

2008 BMW M3 exhaust? ?

by Reed on December 8, 2009

I want to put an aftermarket exhaust on my new BMW 2008 M3 convertible coupe. What kind will give it a deeper sound and make it sound mean?

Congrats on your E93, that’s a mean car you’ve got there.

Currently the only E93 exhaust I know of is the Active Autowerke system. It’ll run you about $2,700 for the whole system, plus assuming you want the software to let it run at it’s full potential it can be more. It’ll provide somewhere around +15hp more than stock, it weighs 12lbs less than the stock exhaust, and it gives it that beautiful Active Autowerke sound. It will probably void your warranty, though. I’d wait a few months for the price to go down and more options to come out, though.

What is the name of the original exhaust fitted to a 1998 bmw M3 Evolution coupe?

by Reed on December 8, 2009


go to www.realoem.com and type in either the last 7 of the VIN or else drill down through the menus by body, year, model, engine, transmission.. then go to the exhaust system category.

This site is great as it shows pictures and lists part numbers for everything on the car.
