  Airbox BMW E46
This carbon fiber airbox for the S54 (BMW E46 M3) engine is producing more horsepower by virtue of providing a cleaner flow path of air into the inlet trumpets.
This Carbon Fiber Airbox for the E46 M3 is quite similar to the unit that BMW designed for the E46 M3 CSL.
Limitation of the factory airbox is that due to packaging constraints, the inlet trumpets end up facing the opposite side of the airbox with not that much space in-between for a smooth airflow pathway.

BMW has acknowledged that the present oil filter used in the E46 model vehicles (as well as other model and engines) will not necessarily last the desired 15,000 miles as required for extended oil service changes.
BMW mechanics have reported this information to the "Round Table" (a BMW information sharing team) that this is a commonly seen problem.
BMW NA is going through the list and contacting those with 323/325 and 330's that were produced between June and December 2000, and is offering a one-time free-of-charge changeover to a less boosted steering system.

 BMW Heritage » 1999-2006 - E46   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1999 the first of the newly restyled E46 3 Series rolled off the line, being that the E36 was introduced one model at a time the E46 did the same starting with the 323i and 328i saloons.
BMW engineers claimed the body was 70 percent stiffer than it’s counterpart the E36 and the larger wheelbase allowed for perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
What did BMW do to make this monster of a motor individual throttle bodies (Europe has had this since the first 95 E36 M3 rolled out), tweaked the variable valve timing, an 8,000 RPM redline and what BMW calls one of the freest-flowing exhuasts ever installed in a production car”.

 BMW E46 Muffler - E46 Mufflers - Always In Stock!
Driving a late model BMW 3-series, known internally as the E46 model, is a pleasure and a privilege, so don’t let a rotten BMW E46 muffler ruin the experience.
The internal structure of the BMW E46 muffler, weakened by corrosion, finally collapses in on itself resulting in a dramatic increase in exhaust sound.
So just because your BMW E46 muffler looks fine on the outside, it can still be worthless on the inside.

 BMW E46 Clutch Hydraulic Lock Valve
The 12/03 BMW ETK appears to show that the lock valve is not installed on any E46 M3 or 330Ci models.
The E46 M3 CDV reportedly has a moving disc inside the body, which would appear to cause the hydraulic restriction to vary depending on whether the clutch was being disengaged or engaged (clutch pedal pushed in or released).
The BMW "Lock Valve" (aka CDV) is a simple brass fitting with a small constriction which fits into the clutch hydraulic actuation circuit (at least this is so for the 325i unit, CDV's from other model BMW's appear to be slightly more sophisticated).

 BMW E46 M3-Project Vehicle-European Car Magazine
Although the new E46 chassis was both bigger and heavier than its older sibling, BMW had a plan to counter its extra girth, the newly developed S54 inline six.
Sporting 333 bhp and an 8000-rpm redline, I figured this version was the Europe-only model; BMW was going to do the same thing they did with the Euro-spec E36 (we got a torque-laden 240-hp engine while the rest of the world got a 321-hp screamer).Again, I thought wrong.
The S54 powerplant in the E46 M3 was technically an evolution of the iron-block S50 unit used in all European-spec M Coupes built through June of 2000.

 M3 - E46
Up until now, BMW M Cars have come with a torque-sensing self-locking limited slip differential with locking action of up to 25 per cent and a consistent basic locking force.
Accordingly, the Variable M Differential Lock enables the new BMW M3, in combination with the fine-tuned DSC system and the car's perfect front-to-rear balance, to offer a standard of driving excellence and handling in winter previously regarded as quite impossible with a rear wheel-drive sports car.
The big advantage for the driver of the BMW M3 is the ability to accelerate far better on surfaces with dramatically different levels of grip between the two drive wheels, since there is now more traction available.

 BMW E46 M3 Shifting - Tech Review - European Car Magazine
BMW states that SMG, in its fastest settings, is faster and more precise than any human could be.
Still, it seems as if BMW missed the mark on this part of the calibration and didn't quite deliver all the technology's promise.
The ability to control the chassis' balance precisely in a turn and to put the power down exactly when it is wanted is traded for an easier and more mindless freeway commute, or the ability to drive the car without having learned to use a third pedal.
