BMW M3 E46 Performance Parts & Upgrades

The BMW M3 (E46) was sold new in Australia from 2001 to 2006, with the 3.2L S54 inline-six driving the rear wheels. Many chassis and brake parts are shared with the regular E46 3 Series, and some Dinan brakes also fit the Z4 M. This page lists the parts we stock for the E46 M3, from Dinan front and rear brake sets and Scorpion exhausts to Radium fuel system parts, AST, Öhlins and MOTON coilovers, and SPL and HARDRACE bushes.

Popular upgrades for the E46 M3
  • Brakes: Dinan front and rear brake sets with drilled or slotted rotors, a PARAGON 6-piston front kit, brake pads and HEL braided lines.
  • Suspension: AST, Öhlins and MOTON coilovers, AST and Dinan springs, SPL end links and rear arm bushings, and a HARDRACE front lower arm bush.
  • Exhaust: Scorpion cat-back systems, centre sections, rear mufflers and de-cat pipes, plus a Dinan axle-back.
  • Fuel system: Radium fuel rails, pump hangers, surge tank and filter kits, and Injector Dynamics XDS injectors.
  • Engine and driveline: an aFe cold air intake, Dinan air filter and strut braces, KOYORAD radiator, GSC valve guides for the S54 and a Wavetrac rear diff.
Choosing the Right Part
  • Right-hand drive: some parts are made for left-hand drive cars only, such as Radium's E46 M3 catch can kit. Australian cars are right-hand drive, so check for "LHD Only" in the title.
  • Coupe or convertible: most parts fit both, but some fuel and body parts exclude the convertible. Check the title.
  • M3 or regular 3 Series: the M3 has its own engine, brakes and front suspension. Pick parts that name the M3 or the S54.
  • Age and past work: these cars are now 20 years old. Check bushes and mounts for wear, and confirm what previous owners have fitted before ordering matching parts.
Installation

Have a qualified workshop fit suspension, brake, fuel and engine parts. Get a wheel alignment after any suspension change, and bleed and road-test the brakes after brake work. Fuel and engine upgrades usually need a tune to suit, so ask us if you're unsure.
