I’m happy with my 94 325i, but the only performance mods are sport suspension and the Signature Motoring performance intake for about $150. Signature Motoring kit adds around 9HP on the dyno, great sound, and the best performance upgrade for the money. See my channel videos!
-Adds 9-11 HP
-Never replace filter again (uses K&N filter)
-GREAT SOUND
-Installs in maybe 30-45? min. K&N filter lasts a lifetime.
I’m thinking maybe performance exhaust, but eh.

Best post I have ever? seen for the E30 M3. Thank you!! I miss mine…

Love the car but I must say the “art cars” were…? just plain hideous. Standards for “art” back then were terrible. (Well, they are now as well.)

Most E36 owners install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain. Cost is a? mere $150 or so, best value per HP gain in the E36 line.
Install time if only about 30-45 minutes in most applications. I have one in my 94 325i cabrio.
Crazy nice sound. Most performance guys install a Signature Motoring performance intake kit for around 9HP gain in the E30.
Install time is about 30 min, maybe 45 for two left hands. LOL

Thank? You..

Great vid!, great detail! you even showed about removing lid on master!, then you know the trick to push the piston back in on caliper by using a prybar through the caliper hole! and best tip of all, how to reset the light on dash! only thing you might? of left out was after job is done and you put master cap back on. to tell all the do it yourselfers,Always remember to pump up the pedal,after job is complete, and for sure on front brakes. if you don’t pump up pedal, you wont have brakes at first

very useful as it was along time ago since i worked on cars it? all came flooding back thanks
January 5th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Awesome. Thanks so much! as an amateur, I look forward to heading up this? project next week and I feel like I can do it. is there any difference for a 325i?
January 5th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
@millertimebmw Just? got them done today thanks to your video! You R-O-C-K!!

@acon1974
I would agree OEM is great but PBR is also a great alternative for some added performance (ceramic/metallic)
and I clicked the key forward two clicks (but do not? start), then wait. And it will reset itself!
Good Luck!
January 5th, 2012 at 2:41 pm
Great DIY! Thanks! I fell much better taking on this task which I plan on doing next week but I have 2 questions:
1) I just purchased a set of PBR ULT Ceramic Performance brake pads for $64. Aside from price is there any other reason you? chose PBR instead of OEM?
2) To get the sensor warning off what exactly did you click forward at 5:13?
January 5th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
very good? video

HA innenbelüftet? wozu das? den?^^
vorne reicht doch =)
January 5th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Nice and quick video! But I would always grease the retaining bolt a bit for easy unlocking next time. Clean the calliper. In Europe bolts of the calliper need to be self tightening with a bit of loctite, even better: use new bolts instead! (Normally to be? delivered together with new pads) Decrease the new rotors 100% before these contact the new pads. After fastening check if the wheel runs free. Torque spanner? Use protective gloves so you don’t need bandage on your left hand in future…:-)

thank u for this v ideo,
i couldnt get the rotor loose? i had to replace everything to keep on driving.
i hope i can get it loose by striking it with a hammer at the front like u did instead of striking it at the back side. i think my rotor is rusted in place and need some heavy hammer strikes.
great video,,normally an easy job, but now i needed this info, i also thought that the bearing nut needs to come off to.

@orlando318 I had a 77 w123 benz and I now have a 2001 e46 3 litre and its a great car, I had to do some intake work to my car? (it’s got 120k) and preventative maintenance. decent gas mileage (30 hwy), 225hp, small trunk.
January 5th, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Excellent video series. Thank you for? posting.
January 5th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
@328iKid No prob. Check out RealOEM for drawings and part numbers, it’s invaluable. Then try Pelican Parts, Bavarian, or even Amazon has good prices and free shipping. Also check out e46fanatics, bimmerfest, bimmerforum, and zhpmafia for details, DIYs, etc. Oh, and the Haynes manual can be gotten cheap on Amazon? or eBay.
January 5th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
@silvermediastudio Awesome,? thanks I wasn’t sure if I should buy 2 of each.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
@stever0105 Taking the cap off makes it easier/possible? to push the pistons into the caliper body to take off and put back on the rotor. With new pads it’ll take about 200 miles to properly bed, during which time you should avoid heavy braking so the rotor and pads properly wear into each other. You may not feel the same “bite” until after the bedding process. Spongy braking may indicate air in the line, which would not result from this procedure as the line was never opened.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
@328iKid Just two on the E46. Driver front and? passenger rear.
January 5th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
There’s 4 brake pad wear? sensors on the car right, one for each caliper?
January 5th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
thank you for this? video. awesome!
January 5th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
why do you take the cap off the oil reservoir. i changed my brake pads and seem to be softer now .. I didn’t take the cap off the reservoir my brakes seem to be soft now i checked my brake line and their fine what do you think ?

Yes, is a good video, but I do recommend using a hand wire brush or a drill with wire brush? bit to clean the hub.
