MK60 DSC Module Identification

While waiting for my engine and ECU to be delivered I thought I would try and confirm if I have a MK60 DSC Module. This would allow me to enable M-Track Mode (CSL style DSC) through INPA when I get the car back together.

 Firstly I had to try figure out my modules serial / part number. Unfortunately this is very hard to do with the unit installed but I really didn't want to disassemble it... despite the fact the rest of the car is in pieces... To do this I used and Inspection Mirror and my camera to take a photo of the back of the unit where the identification information is.


 As you can see from the picture (although inverted by the mirror), I have a 10.0960-0813.3 unit.

 Next I did a bit of research on the MK60 DSC Module. There are a few good threads on the topic:
MK60 DSC Thread
MK60 ABS Standalone Info

 So it turns out the 0813.3 unit is the same hardware as the CSL unit but with a different software version. It can be modified or re-flashed with the CSL software, although that shouldn't be required as the standard MK60 software should allow activation of M-Track Mode.

 Now once I get everything back together I should be able to follow the below guide and activate M-Track Mode. I am still haven't checked if I have the dash light and/or decided if I will install an LED if I don't so I will follow up on that later.

Radium Automotive Order

After deciding on an purchasing a Evolve Carbon Fibre intake I wanted to look into an Oil Catch Can to protect the new intake from vented crank-case gases. There are multiple generic options out there ranging from ECS Tuning, to Mishimoto and there is obviously the option to build a custom kit, all of which would meet the brief. Although, as usual, I wanted a ready to go kit for this car. After a bit of research the only ready to go kit I could find for the E46 M3 was the Radium Automotive Oil Catch Can Kit . Checking out their website I also found a few other E46 M3 parts/kits they had on offer; Fuel Surge Tank Kit , Fuel Rail Kit and Fuel Pump Install Kit . Unfortunately I fell in love with their high build quality and marketing material as very quickly I found myself wanting it all. So as a result I set out to justify why I might need all of it. The Fuel Pump Install Kit was the easiest to justify in some ways as I was at the level of mileage where it would be prudent to re...

Purple Tag Steering Rack

Given the age of the car and the condition of the steering rack I decided that I should investigate a rebuild or upgrade. My research brought me to a great thread over at M3Forum written by forum member Volke -  Comprehensive Steering Information Thread  (updated to NAM3Forum link). It seems as though the dead feeling I had been experiencing on my stock rack was due to the progressive nature of the stock E46 M3 rack. An "upgrade" or remedy to this would be the CS/CSL steering rack, E46 330i steering rack or a few options from the Z cars. Taking my research back over to M3Cutters (as M3Forum better serves LHD cars and my car is a Euro, hence RHD) I found that the E46 330i Steering Rack is normally noted with a "Purple Tag" on RHD cars and so a common upgrade is the Purple Tag Steering Rack upgrade.  As I dug further it seems that as this steering rack came off a more standard car they were cheaper and easier to come by - especially refurbished/rebuilt - and showed co...

Redish Motorsport and PowerFlex Bushings Order

So after doing some extensive research prior to purchasing the car I had already decided that I was going to need to address the "subframe" issue. I do not have the capability to do any custom fabrication work, yet, so as a result I wanted a ready-to-go kit of sorts. Based on my research I found that the two best, most available and most commonly used options were the Turner Motorsport Subframe Reinforcement Plates and the Redish Motorsport RACP Reinforcement Plate Kit . Redish Motorsport have YouTube channel ( www.YouTube.com/RedishMotorsport ) where they discuss their kit in quite a lot of detail and also have a fair few videos of the whole process. Based on this extra information and the larger size and better looking design I decided to go with the Redish Motorsport RACP Reinforcement Plate Kit over the Turner Motorsport option. Following the Redish Motorsport recommendations for the install I also decided to buy up a set of PowerFlex Street Bushings to replac...
