Compared to E30s, yeah the E46 M3 and E92 M3 are relatively tough, and it's pedal position more than anything. You can go race status and adjust the pedals to be more even. It helps a little.



Do you have R134a or R12? I know R134a is being replaced soon so prices are going to get ridiculous because of taxes.


R12. I dunno how to check for leaks so need to take it somewhere for that first. If there's no leaks, I'm just going to buy a few cans of it from CL and refill.

You can get a test kit that fills the system with a dye that glows under UV light. They usually give you the UV flashlight with it, too, lol.

DIY day? I haven't filled it in my E30 either. Not sure if there's a leak, but I'd like to find out before I try to fill it, lol.
