    Wheeler Dealers E46 M3

    Didn't have time to watch it all, but was off-put immediately as they lauded the 2.3L engine....

    That was in reference to the E30 M3....

    Watched it last night & was fascinating to see how relatively easy it is to do the conversion seeing as the gearboxes are essentially identical. Not saying it's a cheap conversion, but you don't need the expense of the actual gearbox for a start. You can always try to recoup some money from the sale of the SMG pump afterwards too of course.

    The case for buying a broken SMG has gotten quite interesting...

    Was a great episode I thought, essentially the whole episode was about doing a manual conversion, but still found it interesting. That exhaust would have to go for me though.

    Vanos rebuild DIY looks quite do-able.

    He changed a couple of seals. That's very much NOT a vanos rebuild ��
