Each car has pros and cons.. If you sold an E46 M3, you could certainly build a "faster" E36 M3 turbo.. but it will lack in many areas the E46 M3 excels in. You will lose some comfort and refinement going back to an E36. If you're simply looking for a faster car, its a good idea. HPF offers a kit for you though. :stickoutt

Very big change.

You will be going from a fairly decently quick car, that is great for daily commuting, into something that is more raw and fun to drive, but as comfortable or have all of the same creature comforts.

Totally depends on the kit.

But yes, if you go big... Turbo E36 M3 is so much cooler.

Build your own. Since you have a M3 i am sure many would help you out. YOu have all the resources right here on the forum. But they will be much more resourceful if you had a E36

I would do both. Keep your eyes peeled for a cheap E36 M3. Keep your eyes peeled for a nice turbo kit for the same. Mix well. Add gas. Have fun.

This way you have a damn cool DD that will get you anywhere while your work on your turbo car.

boy Will you be depressed....One ride ina stockish E46 vs a trubo E36M3...You will not want an E46...

On the track I have had a few students with E46 cars. They just feel huge compared to an E36...

I have a few friends who can afford a new E92M3 if they wanted one..But they like the E36 better, they have THREE. Two daily drivers and a track toy..

I think the E36 chassis M3's have just the right amoutn of go and updated handlign/ride unlike the E30M3 or E90/92's which have grown into full bore GT spec cars unlike the E30/E36 cars...

Buy a E36 TT S2, upgrade the brakes and suspension had have fun!!

There are so many different areas to touch upon regarding this question! If your looking to purchase a bolt on kit for a decent price without having to sell your organs, the E36 M3 is your choice! Although expensive to build, the E46 M3 is another beast in itself! The S54 is a monster when F/I is introduced, that is why your seeing so many Horse Power Freak references! Whatever you do, DO NOT spend your money on something that truely shows inpatience! That A/A NA nonsense will not make you happy nor will you ever be able to compair it to a F/I setup! Save your money, either build something custom, bolt on kit, or sell the E46 M3 and purchase an E36 M3, turbo that.

DON'T DO THE N/A MODS! Especially when everyone is telling you not to. I just hate when people come on here, ask everyones advice and then don't take it. You are obviously smart enough to ask what to do in the first place so make sure you listen that's all. ( I'm not saying this in a d*ck head way, I hate trying to express myself in type ) P.S. That means don't get the exhaust, intake, and chip. I did along with TONS of other that regret wasting money on 25 HP that you can't really feel.

A guy in my town builds some sr20 nissans and stuff and he said he would do a custom turbo on my E46, build the intake box and all, but i don't see alot of guys doing custom set ups on a E46 how come ? is it risky, I can't loose to one more kid in a jap or dsm turbo car haha, then i guess im looking at a clutch and so forth, i thought about NOS also

You are so impatient! Listen to the people here! There is a lot of experience here and learn from our mistakes! Do it right or don't do it at all!


Cheapest would be NOS. There is a guy over on e46fanatics.com and he is beating supercharged e46 m3 guys with NOS only. He has made up to 480whp!

Go that route if you can't afford the HPF kit until you save up the $16,000 or you can finance the $16,000. This way you keep the e46 m3 which has a much better motor.

Here is the link to the video where he blows away a supercharged e46 m3. (http://videos.streetfire.net/video/93312cd9-7dc9-43d4-a813-99960068385d.htm)

Here is his contact profile on e46fanatics.com (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/member.php?u=35500)

if you must mod and you can't afford to mod the e46, you should have gotten an e30 and gone crazy.

If you are close to NJ you are welcome to take a ride in a turbocharged E36 to see what you are missing. If you still want to keep your E46 and have the $$ to turbo that we can also talk about your options.

ill chime in. Back in 05 i was contemplating this question (b/c my area is literally filled with e46 m3s and I like to have something different from everyone else).. I couldve sold my e46 and build an uber-FI e36 m3. I weighed my pros and cons. To me, i decided that the REALLY high HP cars with the ridiculous builds had some reliability issues. Hte FI cars that seem to be reliable and bulletproof seem to have much less hp relative to these other crazy builds. Because of this, i figured in order to do this right, i would have to get a second car anyway. Because of this, I decided to keep my e46 and buy a cheap e36 to do a moderate F/I build (nothing too crazy).

if you bought a car and plan to street race, the e46 m3 was a POOR choice...next time one of them laughs at you for losing, you can feel free to laugh at the quality of their car. THe e46 m3 is such a well-made quality car that is made to be sporty, practical, and luxurious. I'll put money on the fact that most of the cars that beat you lack in all those categories but speed.

;) i had the car entirely repainted and added a lot of accessories (oem rear spoiler, authentic ACS roof spoiler, authentic RD class II adjustable splitter, 97+ nose panel, CF vorsteiner vented hood, etc) just to name a few things :).. I also did a lot of maintenance items, like replaced all the rubber trims, interior gaskets, metal window trims, etc. I went to see it the other day.. I'll just say it has come a LONG way from when i bought it. I have dumped way too much money into this thing. Wait until you see it though, i think youll be impressed.

09-10-2007, 09:57 PM
N2O the crap out of it. If you really think about it, comparing costs and the amount of time that you will actually spend trying to go as fast as possible, it's not a bad idea. Yeah a turbo is there all the time but how much of that time will you be trying to go as fast as possible? Plus it is instant which will win a lot of races in itself.

IMO since your car is your DD.

i would either do all the N/a mods/ gears for your current e46.

or wait and save 7-10g and go supercharger.

or buy a daily beater e30 or something and then turbo an e36 m3.

or buy a c5 z06 or sc'ed cobra.

Maybe not close to the $16,000 for the HPF turbo kit, but money that could of been saved to spend towards that amount! Don't be impatient bro, you will regret it!

I highly doubt he can wait. I don't think he has $4000 saved up. Of course I want him to go HPF but he needs something now or he is going to do something bad due to impatience. Impatience can be trouble...right now I have it and I am thinking crazy things like going with a Mechtech tune to get my car at least driveable. :eek: :rofl:

NOS baby!

Cam, you out of all people are allowed to be impatient:D! Whatever the case may be, your build will be finished, just a little longer! I don't know why you just didn't go with the Mechtech software to begin with :embarrasm;):D:help!

Keep the M3 its a better car, newer and will be more reliable. Get a second car as a fun car to play with.

But out of choosing the two, I'd take the M3 each and every time. Its quick enough for a daily driver, theres only so fast you can go on the street. And there aren't heaps of fast E36 M3 turbos around anyway. Your best bet if you wanted FI and only have access to one car would just be to save and do the HPF kit.

That said, I did 4.10 gears and KW coilovers in my M3 and I love it, its easily fast enough for the street and heaps of fun.

Good point yet it only shows that you should not go custom and you should go with what has worked for many people before. Otherwise you end up with a pretty pile of shit.

If I were you, I would just wait and save your money. You couldn't have got the e46 that long ago because your only 18, so if you wait until your like 21-22 get the turbo kit and it will be like having another new car. haha, my way of looking at it.

EDIT: By reading some of your other thread, and seeing how you only got the car in may, i don't think you should sell it / build a car with more power. I may be wrong but according to your threads youve broken a handful of items on the car by launching/ doing burnouts, and with the added power you would most likley break more items.

I'm with you there. No reason to let a dip (or something dumb) in the road ruin your life at 190mph. It is the acceleration that I love and it sounds like you love it too. Getting to 100 as quickly as possible, now that is good stuff.

Yes going fast can be dangerous. Driving at all can be dangerous. You have to get in the car and remember that you're taking on a serious responsibility every time you drive. On top of that you're surrounded by people cruising around in 2 ton cars and suv's when half of them shouldn't even have drivers licenses and are talking on the phone and to their kids in the back seat at the same time. There are many variables involved in driving on the road. You have to remember to control the ones within you're control, and at the same time constantly be ready for something to go wrong on the end of the variables that you can't control. I'd never recommend flying around at double the speed limit, but I think a very competent and situationally aware driver going faster than usual can still be safer than an incompetent and oblivious driver going the speed limit. At the end of the day though it's up to you (and sometimes the cops) to decide just how capable you are at handling these responsibilities. I'm not trying to lecture, just posting my feelings on driving.

sorry, I had to reword it so I understood. Yea, but I already read your thread over in the e46m3 section and I come over here just to find the same thread. It gets annoying.

3) you've obviously never seen what a Swedish tuner can do with a volvo:

Now that is a VOLVO right there! :rofl:

Oh man that is sick! I love near the end when he is in the streets and just sliding back and forth smoking anything in his path, then when there is a car behind him he burns the tires sliding and there is a massive backfire! I want to be a fly on the inside window of the car behind him right there listening to that guy going HOLY :censored:! Simply awesome! :buttrock

To the OP:

And I cannot stress this enough... please don't mod your M3 or buy an E36 M3 and turbo it.. Spend the cash you have burning a hole in your pocket on HPDE's. They may save your life and make you realize how vulnerable you actually are out there. Be safe, don't end up in the newspaper tomorrow please.


If you weren't as young as you are, I would say sell it and turbo an E36 M3.. although I'm quite biased. :stickoutt
