E46 M3’s (in the USA) on Autotempest: https://bit.ly/342Rzgb
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!

Who wants to bet subframe is cracked lol
On paper or track, e46 M3 wins over a 996 911
Great project.. These cars are epic…. Let's see how bad it is
I like this mini car that fits my home road. I would buy the same one but with a weaker engine
I hate that red, inside and out!
its definitely some waterlogged speaker wires in your door
I had one with 6 speed manual ,sold it and it was the biggest mistake
A m3 in swden is at least 25 k
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
What was it the wires or fuses in the trunk ??
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
ecu bad . most cars use the ecu to charge the battery
The E30 is the most iconic.
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.
Where do you go to buy floors cars
Why did nt you use a OBD scanner ,, you got a bargin
My neighbor has this car in silver and it's a manuel
This car can be saved, but DONT trust it
I dont trust this car ta all…
"missing a nut right here"? that's what she said
flood cars are water moccasins
Are those 4 rear rims? Looks strange to me. Way too wide front.
Battery leads in the boot/trunk are prone to internal cracks
Auto tempest is how I found my E46 M3
This might be kinda stupid but have you tried to change the battery? Might be a faulty battery lmao 😂
I was bidding on that
Who tf riced the hell out of that m3 with thise hideous tail lights and hood paint. Gross.
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
Is that your SC400 in the background at the end?
Contact the Dutch guy 'DiagnoseDan' or at least watch a few of his YouTube videos, hard to beat.
Hope you checked the transmission/rear dif lubes have been changed out Sam?
Often overlooked in flood cars.
I'd rather have the John Deere lol
Is the field wire good?
Hey Sam. Did you solve the charging issue? Someone mentioned the positive battery cable. Another possible cause, is a bad ground due to the flood. Also, I’ve had issues with phantom draw. Once the car has been shut off for about 10 minutes, check the charge level of the battery. Check ohms being drawn, it should be less than 0.1 milliamps. If it’s higher than that, it’s time to start tracing wiring for any cracks, exposed wiring bared due to chafing possibly touching metal. This could be the source of a phantom, or unaccounted for draw.
wow its rough man!!
you selling it?
Whoever decided to paint it that shade of red outside and on the interior parts should be put on trial.
Don't change the rear lights or paint….red and black looks amazing
in latvia e46 manual costs like 1500
You got that car a year ago. Why you lying
17:00 of course it did not help. Soaked in oil is how an e46 operates. Oil all over the engine bay is like slime all over a snail. They go hand in hand with each other.
I have a 4 door 6 speed
I bet you got a short that is draining the battery… Check for it with a multimeter on the ampere setting for consumption
Wrap it!
ground is shit or smt it drains
What a waste of money, that thing is worth jack shit.
Sam had a flood car same as you no charge and cut out but this is the fix put a huge fucken fan in front with bumper off on high for 2 days let me know
It just needed that tube on top that was missing
