After Stan 24v mentioned it on another thread, I thought I'd put together a comprehensive list of the best DIY's on here. A 100% blatant copy of the one on e46Fanatics which can be found here. Hopefully it will make it slightly easier to find what you are looking for from now on. The list is currently incomplete (which is fairly obvious) but should have it all sorted in the next week or so! Feel free to post up/PM your ideas for what should make the list. More importantly, if you think that there has been a very useful thread that is of DIY quality but not in the DIY section, send me the link and I'll add it in.

If you can't find what you're looking for on e46zone, try BMW 330ci, my330i, MadRussian or the e46fanatics link above. Between e46zone and the other sites mentioned, there shouldn't be much you can't do yourself!

Mate, I have no idea what you're on about. The original post CLEARLY states that it was you that said it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .

Sorry about that pal, just got muddled up but it is now fixed!



Probably about half way through putting the list together now.

I was thinking it was best to keep the list e46zone only, but I'll add those links in too.
