I bought a Flood Salvage Totaled E46 BMW M3 with the Rare 6 Speed Manual Transmission. The previous owner couldn’t figure out its electrical issue. It’s by far the cheapest in the country but only if we can figure out its problem and fix it!

  1. A very common issue with these BMW's is that the battery is in the trunk. The wiring for the alternator to the engine and ecu is all under the engine bay, but there is a "junction box" by the driver's strut tower that connects the alternator back to the battery. The bolts that hold these cables in place can work loose (or perhaps be left loose when a painter was painting the engine bay…) and the battery will mysteriously stop charging. A simple fix that is difficult to diagnose.

  2. Know it was too long ago but the roof and bit on bonnet I’d be tempted to carbon wrap to make it look more purposeful and less funky/stark.

  3. A alternator needs input to create charge ide be checking that bmw get input into alternator fro dash remove input wire feed 12v into alternator quick easy check

  4. People need to thinking twice before putting those thumbs down. Guys on YouTube work hard to record and edit these👏🏾 great video

  5. Sweet job done on this flood damaged m3 looks great mags are splendid and I agree with changing the rear lights removing the horrible black paint on the bonnet

  6. I think it's the plug to the ecu . or the ecu . most people forget some cars uses the ecu to controll the battery charging voltage

  7. I love M series BMWs and Alpena(s) they make such great lawn ornaments. Modern Mercedes Benz make great paperweights too . . . if you don't mind the oil and coolant stains.

  8. You know an E46 was owned by a ricer/incompetent car owner when you see those black taillights, they are like a 'standard' when youre a ricer for these cars
