M3 Exhaust

Chucked the Actioncam on the back of the M3 the other day and recorded the exhaust. Standard exhaust, cats have been replaced with resonators. No O2 sensors, so running a bit rich.

Has a hearty rasp, thats for sure!

E36 M3 Heater Valve

Right, so the moment i got home today i decided to carry out some work on the M3.

Since i got the car the heater hasnt worked (i knew this when purchased). Neither side changed temp at all, just stuck at cold. I knew this was the heater control valve (HCV), as they are a common failure point as they are easy to block and jam. I purchased some parts from Ray at HellBM, which included a replacement valve.

Its not a hard part to get to on the M3, just a bit tight due to the header tank, and there isnt a lot of space to twist and pull the hoses.
