Exclamation Drivetrain maintenance & suspension upgrade time

Boys n Girls,

Here's the latest on my E46 M3. Ordered a lot of parts for the car

The problem was I was having knocking sounds coming from the back so we decided to put the car up and inspect the subframe. NO CRACKS. So inspected the drive shaft and the GUIBO was cracked big time and so were the diff bushings. So I decided to order the following parts to improve handling and drivetrain:

New Diff cover with OEM bushings
Front diff bush
Guibo
Drive shaft center bearing and bracket
Powerflex Subframe bushings (yellow compound)
TMS subframe reinforcement kit (might as well as the subframe is out)
E46 Strut tower reinforcement plates
Rogue Engineering rear spring perch's
MRTM Oil Filter cover
Ground Control Street/school Coilover kit (420/545) with camber plates and RSMs

The car will also be getting a refreshing paint job, it'll be JB like original but with SPECIAL BLACK so it'll be nice and deep. I will post pictures as the parts start arriving.

Good thing you caught it when you did. Don't be stingy with the updates and pics.

I've been looking at that coilover kit for my M3. Let me know what you think. Supposedly it works with EDC on the new 3s, but that can't last too long.

Ground Controls are awesome! You can specify spring weights as well
