BMW E46 M3d Drift Build

[TorqueWorks]

By now I'm sure you know my last project, the TDS Project Smoke Machine which I sold out my half of (Click HERE). Anways Heres my new machine
I've wanted to create yet another Diesel Drifter Torque Monster from an E46 330d for a while now since I figured out Mapping. I finally got the opportunity when I found a High Miler 330cd in Newry recently... Full Service history and just passed an MOT even with 220k miles on a 6 Speed Manual.. Almost a Mortal Sin to wreck such a good car, but its one saving grace is the 3000 Euro it takes to get it VRT'd & Taxed... thats the price of the car again so total waste of time!
Every thread about these torque machines starts off with plans & never gets any further so I'm not going to give any hints to the "Plans" as they will inevitably change as I progress & break things... so the only real plan is to map the feck out of it & get sideways, in the proecess of that putting as much engineering effort into the project as required to make it as close to a Pro Spec car as possible. As always everything including mapping will be done in-house.

You may see a bit of crossover from this thread into another, I will be updating Shane's 325TDS Coupe Build also (Click HERE)

Without further Ado... the Car I'm calling the M3d... You'll see why!









So, before this project began I brough it up to the quarry & got it weighed before it goes on a Seeeeerious diet
