02 e46 M3, with a twist

[glynnnova]

Well I picked this up on Friday night, meets all my requirements, and is a bit faster than the e500.





And the twist.

Plans at the minute;
Fix the stone chips on the front
Wheels back to standard colour
Fit an iPhone cable

any noticeable loss of power on lpg?

 

[glynnnova]

Nope, none. Lpg is around 109 octane

Looks nice, I like them in silver. Where's the filler for the LPG? Must be discreet

My 330 is LPG but definitely doesn't feel as sharp as it does. Still would take the sting out of running it, I'm putting a tank through my m3 every 4days lol

Behind the fuel filler cap, a small adaptor screws in. It's a tidy job. And lpg is 55p here in England, 80p in NI atm I think.

Now your talking, I always wondered if these could be converted but I just assumed you couldn't.

Took a fancy to a rather nice Range Rover, so this is now for sale.

I read somewhere at speed and higher temps the gas can longterm shorten the life of a high performance engine by 25/30k

I know it's not an m3 but my 330ci had gas installed at approx 78k miles and the engine is currently at 208k and purrs like it's still at 70k. It hasn't had a slow life by any means.

Jesus thats good I was dablingcwith the idea of a lpg m3 years ago and a lpg installer talked me outta it the same time I was getting a quote for the 4.2sc range rover sport

Nice - its very grey looking, think some brighter wheels or something would make it look more lively!
