As the E36 DIY page has proven to be a big hit among BMW owners, I decided to make this new page, dedicated to E46. Enjoy
Disclaimer: This is only a listing to DIY web sites (both found and submitted to me). I am not in any kind taking credit or making any money off of it. Just providing some info to people, that have problems locating all this interesting and needed information, since it is spread through out the internet.
I would like to express my thanks to people, who took their time and made those wonderfull write-ups. Their names and web-sites are listed next to their links.
I'm not doing it for myself-but for all DIYers out there. Please help, contribute and benefit from it later.
