The new chapter of project Cologne is here!

The OG project of the channel is back, and I took your advice and we turning the E46 Touring into a track capable car.

We are starting with the always planned 330i M54B30 6-speed swap and then head for the Nürburgring for some laps! Took a lot of effort to make this one, but it's a proper wrench-fest episode and I hope you like it!

Hi Sreten, great work on this video! Fun to see a novice start out the hobby of racing. I just started myself recently running a 330ci with similar km as your donor and took my national racing license this summer. My very limited experience with driving on track myself as well as being a passenger in an e46 330ti racecar and another 330ci is that once the car is set up correctly you can “safely” turn off dsc and the car will feel very stable even when the back-end kicks out. Try it out where it is safe and it will give you confidence. For me it was also interfering quite a lot and to the point where the car wouldn’t accelerate when I went over 60kmh in some curves. Might have been a combination of tires, pressures and track banking. Turning it off transformed the car. Best wishes!

Simply fantastic Sreten! 304 style wheels are beautiful. I was wondering, given the different wheel ET, if there is a visually noticeable width difference. Hard to tell in video or photo. Thanks man!!!
