No. All BMWs since E36 have had timing chains and not belts and therefore do not need to be changed.
The BMW E46 M3 was first launched in Germany where the first BMW E46 M3 was built. The BMW E46 M3 was first introduced in October 2000 and was produced from 2001 to 2006.
yes, but you would have to get an m3 subframe to go with it...LOTS of $$$
e46 its newer more powerfull bigger better interior more expensive but better.....
Yes.
The BMW m52 has a timing chain not a timing belt. there is no maintenance on the chain it is made for the life of the engine.
there is no timing belt, or a belt to turn your camshaft if that is what you are wondering, it is all done by a timing chain and there is no service that they need.
The M3 will win but it is a close race
4.8s stock (e46)
The M3 E46 was manufactured by the yuppie specialists, BMW. This vehicle has been in production since 1985 and is a high performance car that others are compared to.
Yes, my m3 e46 is totally original. It does have it's original 18" rims. No tuning whatsoever. I like the CSL wheels though, but I think I prefer to keep it original.
The E46 uses a timing chain. The last time a cambelt was used in a 3-series was for the E30. The carbureted 316, the 318is, and the M3 used a timing chain.
The wheelbase of the E46 BMW M3 is 2,730 mm (107.5 inches)
