    no not cracked , if would be cracked ,probably would be one M3 less on the road :hehe!: rubber was fully off , probably rusty piston was pushed in with last brake pad change and after sliding out pushed the rubber out as well :wink:

    great work Valdas How do you find it in comparison to the E36? Is the e36 purely a track car now?

    now they are really two different cars :wink: track and road car . e36 very stiff ,hard and sharp ,not the one u would like to drive every day , only if every day is a race day :hehe!: but I like my driving licence more :hehe!::hehe!::hehe!:
    that's why I didn't use any powerflex or other stuff to make E46 too hard or stiff on the road

    Really looks great mate. The subtle changes make all the difference. Where did you get the exhaust tips?
