any one know of a good one for the new 3 series?

 

Bimmer.org or my forum. I have a few very BMW educated people on there who know lots of info.

 

well my moms getting a 330 and my dad is really interested in putting a blower on it since we can't really afford an m3. Does anyone make one for it yet?

 

Ok, well a descent 330 is like $41k...a nice M3 is like $50k (add $5k for a market adjustment, for shits and giggles)- your at $55k......to avoid any warranty issues, I would only get a Dinan Super charger- the unit is like $6k or so, the warranty is $2k, and installation is at least $1k, then add tax.

So lets say you get that 330 for $39k add the $9-$10k for the Dinan equipment...your at $48-$49k, the M3 just cost you $55k- they aren't so far apart after all

I agree with Beltfed. There aren't too many engine mods out yet for the 330 and doing what you suggest to a brand new car is only going to put you in warranty hell. Tell your dad if he's going to all that trouble, and extra $$, on a 330 then by an M3, he'll be a lot happier.

Now for your question. In addition to Bimmer.org, try E46Fanatics and BMW330Ci.com

Good luck!

 

But doesnt his mom want 4 doors?

 

Duh! I didn't read his post carefully enough. Well in that case, forget what I said . Good luck with the SC 330i.

The websites are still good for info on mods.

 

http://www.e46fanatics.com is a good forum if you're interested in modding your car.

 

Not a BMW, but how about GS 430 ???

 

actually she wants 2 doors, and the only problem is you can't find a new m3 for anything less then 60

 

if you guys know where we can get a convert m3 for around 60 let me know...we'll jump on it

 

How long can your parents hold off....if you can wait for the 02's to hit, I think you will see more become available for immediate delivery- they will certainly be over MSRP, but I believe you will be able to find a few for $5k over or so.

I know dealers have lists for people paying MSRP (long ones at that)- but there are always cars for people willing to pay a premium.

If you start making some calls, you might be surprised as to what you might find- give some distant dealers a try also.

 

get on the horn and start callin some dealers in all of so cal u lazy bastard. check out Irvine BMW, i know they get the most BMW's in all of cali. try checkin in nice places like Newport BMW or anything in south OC. they must have some..

 

been there done that...everyone wants 10 over

 

Ok, the 2002's should be out in a month or so.....hopefully you can hold out a bit, I'm fairly certain you will be able to find a car without a $10k markup.
