Best Mods for the BMW M3
The E46 M3's S54 is a naturally aspirated straight-six that lives at the top of the tacho, so there's no turbo to lean on for cheap power. Gains come from breathing, headers and a tune, and increasingly from the chassis refresh these cars now deserve at their age.
Before chasing power, refresh the suspension and bushings: a 20-year-old M3 rides on tired rubber. Then headers, a tune and an exhaust let the S54 breathe the way it was meant to.
