Got myself a OEM rear boot spoiler from Warren as well, just need to prep it and send it for colour coding.

You can purchase the tape from BMW directly to stick it on. We fitted the spoiler on my brother's car this weekend and the tape is proper strong plus it's so thin, you can barely see it.

Worked out to under R150 after discount.

Or just use gorilla tape or 3m?
Either way, it needs to go on.

Get the thin BMW stuff, otherwise the spoiler looks taped on ;)
Do you know the PN because I phone the a dealer to ask and he didn't have clue..

Quick question,

Does the rear MSport bumper fit directly on with changing anything including the tailpipes?

You could use this as well:

My boot spoiler is stuck on with that stuff and it’s not going anywhere.

Rear bumper should bolt on with current exhaust, not sure regarding fender-liners

Should be able to compare that on realoem.

Since you have facelift.

Facelift rear: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ET56-EUR-09-2002-E46-BMW-330i&diagId=51_4530
M-Tech1 rear: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ET56-EUR-09-2002-E46-BMW-330i&diagId=51_3699
M-Tech2 rear: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ET56-EUR-09-2002-E46-BMW-330i&diagId=51_4543

Now I know the front wheels have inner liner, but can't find any for the rears, not sure if they have to be honest. Can only find #12 on https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=ET56-EUR-09-2002-E46-BMW-330i&diagId=51_3266 and this shows its for all year models and not any code specific like the mtech1/2 codes.

I am not sure why I never really bothered to look through your thread.
I am glad I did just now.
Well done on maintaining such a lovely car. Drive it in good health.
I take my hat off to you for the work put into it.

Woke up at 4:30am last Saturday morning to quickly wipe off the dust on the every ready 330 to take the long drive to the dyno day.
Hoping for a cool day but was given a taste of hell instead, not good for a dyno day, especially turbo cars but what can we do?

Got there at 9am, everything looking good, banners everywhere and the smell of a braai.


Met up with my friend in his super sexy Z4.

Nick went before me with his Z and immediately saw that the dyno was gonna be very stingy but who cares.

Next is my 330i, looking completely out of place where every other car is turbocharged and way way more modern.

They strap her in and the operator starts doing his thing.
Seems the car is revving a bit slower through the rev range, maybe he is in 5th gear maybe I'm just seeing and hearing things but anyway,
Final reading..122 wkw.

Maybe next time I fill up with 95 octane and let the car cool before strapping her on a dyno?!

Really thinking it would be around 130 to 135wkw with the headers etc.

But the day was awesome, nice cars, good venue and the fanatics are a great bunch of passionate people.

Didn't take a lot of pics, can't wait for a skidpan day tho!

Very cool man, the car is looking super clean! unfortunate about the dyno results being lower than expected but as you said...who cares, you can feel how the car pulls with your butt dyno so all good in the hood!

She sounds AWESOME man! :praise:

Car looks sweet bud, I actually think those numbers aren't that bad, relative to the NA class.

I was also the 'victim' of a stingy dyno on Saturday. Just threw the car on the rollers for fun.
 
Small update. Um okay so not really any news, mods or maintenance done..just wanted to post some pics of this sexy 330i.

Haven't driven her since the dyno event.
She just gets pushed out to be washed and the back into the garage.
