E46? E9x yes

Suspension? Don't remember anyone doing that yet. Brakes though, there is a thread on swapping over the e46 m3 csl brakes over...

That is.......if you can find the CSL brakes anywhere outside of Europe. The E46M3 CSL was only sold in Europe so unless you have a CSL specific vin #, no BMW dealer will order the brake parts for you.

Now, the E46 M3 NON CSL front rotors will work but you have to find the adapter that will move your caliper out far enough to use them.

Yes. Go to the Suspension forum and start reading/searching.

dtla1 · 04-10-2015, 03:05 PM

Did a search in the suspension section for e46, not much came up. You must be thinking e9x m3.

The reason I ask is I might get lucky and get an E46 M3 and I was weighing my options in case it has a bad engine at least i can get my money back by using parts for my 135i and my E36 M3.

Only thing out of the Turner kit that "might" fit is the rotor. And once again, you need the adapters for the 6 piston calipers to push them out so these rotors will fit. Also, the actual CSL rotors have a completely different part number than the regular ZCP (Competition/regular) E46 M3 rotor.

So, although they might be advertising those as "CSL" rotors, they might actually be just regular M3 or competition packaged E46 M3 rotors. The ammount of abuse that the CSL rotors are put under is massive compared to stock M3 rotors on cars that won't see as many track days as a CSL would.

I am having a hard time understanding why you wouldn't get a new s54 for an e46m instead of canibalizing it for parts to put on two pieces of shit.
