Just bought an E46 M3 Cabriolet

Hey all,

Just sold my 08 plate ST-3 and bought myself an 02 plate M3 cabriolet for the summer-pick it up in a weeks time and cant wait

Make it loud, really loud because that straight 6 sounds fab (intake and exhaust!!!)

[huggyST]

any recommendations with exhausts? sounded good anyway tbh

Afraid I know next to nothing about them, but on a PH run at the weekend user M3 NOS's M3 sounded friggin brilliant, don't know what they've done to it, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it

Mate had a Scorpion backbox on his which sounded good.

Otherwise look at Eisenman, Supersprint etc.

o.k cool thanks

will the later spec rear led lights fit straight onto an 02 car?

[dan101smith]

Physically yes, but you may need a wiring adaptor - I'm not 100% sure on that one.

[huggyST]

ah o.k, i`ll look into it-thank you

I've just bought a 2002 M3 convertible too, pick it up on wednesday hopefully. Yes you can fit the led lights, as mentioned you need wiring adaptors (available from bmw) and you'll need to have the lights coded to the car at the dealers or at an indi.

Hi, you cannot beat the sound of a Magnaflow exhaust or even a Powerflow...ring StyleDynamix in Hayes for a quote, I have had a few of my cars done by them.

After market ie: non bmw LED lights work fine and come with everything you need. Try CA automotive or similair for them. Fitting BMW lights will be painfull to your wallet and they look no different to copies from what Ive seen/used in the past.

thanks for all the advise...just waiting for the car to be ready as having the wheels refurbished before pick up.

oh and typical that it has rained every day since i paid the deposit

you cant get after market LED's for the convertible as i found! try cooksferry they are oem bmw parts but alot cheaper! They also sell them on ebay, And yes you will need the car re-coded.
