Product Details
The E46 M3’s engine is based on several race-developed engines – the S70/2 used in the McLaren F1 and the original S50 Euro engine released in 1995 and it traces its lineage all the way back to BMW’s M1 inline-6. It blends racetrack technology with street car concessions. To keep your car running at its peak, you will want to invest in its care and that means a regular and strict maintenance schedule. The below M3 maintenance packages are standard recommendations from our experience and should be part of a larger overall service plan.
Keeping up with the maintenance on your car is the smart thing to do. For one thing, it prevents costly repairs in the future. For another, your car performs better, making aftermarket upgrades more worthwhile. And a well-maintained car with complete service records can add substantially to a car’s resale value. Our service packages for your E46 M3 will ensure you get many more miles from your BMW street racer.
This package can be configured any number of ways to ensure you get what you need for a full Inspection I, Inspection II, or any other major preventative maintenance service. Our parts are OE, OEM, or performance alternatives that we have been using since 1993 so you get top quality parts, first-rate service , and unbeatable expertise .
