The E46 pairs a perfectly balanced chassis with responsive engines that are optimal for drifting and highly receptive to modifications. While impressive in stock form, these guides will help you take your E46 to the next level.

Your first step might be refining the E46’s handling with coilovers that allow you to fine-tune the perfect setup for drift, track handling, stance, or street comfort.

Or, you may want to find the ideal exhaust system to unleash the signature inline-six sound while providing a worthwhile power boost.

For those looking to push beyond what BMW’s engineers intended, M3 supercharger upgrades offer choices from industry leaders like ESS Tuning, which can transform your E46 into a 500+ horsepower monster while maintaining the linear power delivery that makes these cars so special.

With the E46 continuing to be one of the best value drift cars, it’s no surprise it’s such a popular choice. Whether you’re planning to compete in drifting events, dominate track days, or enjoy fun weekends canyon carving, our guides cut through marketing hype to recommend parts that deliver on their promises.

Looking to build the ultimate E46? This 2JZ-powered drift weapon from Cartu Drifting will undoubtedly provide some inspiration, although it sets the bar pretty damn high!
