Freerider popped my BMW cherry

[Dr Evil]

I've been meaning to post pics for a while already but I just never had anytime. So last month I registered on the forum and if I remember correctly it was the very next day that Don placed an ad selling his beloved e46. I saw it and contacted him immediately to view the car. It was love at first sight, no, not Don, I fell inlove with the car LOL. 3 weeks after that it was mine, my very first BMW, my 4yr old daughter will say its hers though! Thanks Don for looking so well after the car while you had it, I'm loving it!

There's still a few small things I want to do like get angel eyes, maybe a set of CSL wheels as well.

You got yourself there an awesome car! And very well looked after indeed! :thumbsup:

Went through some of my pics and found this one from earlier this year:

When were thinking of changing the wheels - been looking for these type of wheels for a while...

 

[Jakkals_F30]

Stunning car and concrats...

 

[Onyx]

Congrats... Looks in pristine condition! :thumbsup:

 

[Dr Evil]

Thanks guys for all the kind comments.
@Philip - I love the wheel that's currently on the car, it's very scarce on an e46. I'll probably keep it a while longer, not in a hurry to sell. You'll be the first to know when I do decide to sell them ;-)

 

[freerider]

imp: Still a great looking car. I considered going 18" wheels, but I didnt want to drain anymore of the 320's power trying to spin up bigger wheels

I would also suggest hanging onto those wheels if you get something different, they are extremely scarce and you will struggle to find another set, just ask yulesen

 

[Dr Evil]

Oh yeah, I want to fit the e60 short shifter when I change the plastic bushing for the linkage. Are you up for a DIY assist Don ie. You DIY and I assist

Congrats Dude, you bought a well looked after car. May the Beemer gods bestow happy miles of Beemering on you.

revo is waiting for angel eyes to arrive in stock, book a set quickly.
545i shifter, i wanted to do that but was always too scared to try and DIY it :mmm: i'm sure its not impossible and i've pulled everything apart to have a look at whats involved. I'll be more than willing to give it a bash, but if we dont come right, its not like you can just drive home

 

[Dr Evil]

Of course I can drive home, I remember seeing a nice yellow car in your garage LOL

 

[TheMo]

The car is looking good... Very Clean :thumbsup:
Yeah you must book a set of angels from revo... I wana get a pair from him

 

[zaleonardz]

i should have baught this car... congrats dude, she is a stunner..

Oh and as for the short shift DIY, pffft, you cant really break anything. dooo it

 

[Dr Evil]

I use to do my vtec short shift change back in the day with my eyes closed but I'm still weary of the beemer cos I'm not that clued up yet with the car.

 

[protegetech]

Found another pre-fl 330i set which I am going to take a look at tomorrow - looks like they will need a refurbish, but hopefully not bent! Those wheels that you have are indeed very rare, so probably best to hang on to them, was also trying to find the style 119 which is also a very nice and somewhat rarely seen wheel! :thumbsup:

 

[Dr Evil]

First thing on the list is getting the relays for the GM5 module and sorting my central locking out. Fleabay here I come

 

[Sith]

Congrats, a lovely car in super condition :thumbsup:

 

[zaleonardz]

Relays on the GM5....

Have you checked for dry joints, I diagnosed a dry joint on E39 the other day, no relays needed.

 

[XMAX]

Great car.

Im glad to see that the cars are moving within the confines of the forum.


what an awesome group of guys.

Lol!
Awesome car you have there, congrats!
Like Don said DO NOT SELL those wheels! Style 137 is freaken rare!!! After a year I gave up the daily search and settled for another one.
