[KING_RSA]

Nice

I like the colour

 

[ZED1]

Very very nice, what's that colour?

 

[-xXx-]

It's called BRASS...

 

[Laigo]

NICE!!!! :drool: :drool:

 

[XMAX]

Colour is awesome. Called Messing Metalic if memory serves me correctly.


great car. many happy and safe kilometres.

As for the mods. good luck.

you say that youve already done a sound upgrade. Explain and show pics if possible. please.

Looking good bud, like the colour combo....

btw, the 18" wheel you are looking for came as an option on the E46's it looks similar to the 5 series wheel but the face of the mag is flat while the 5 series has a bit of a concave design. You should definetly try and find the wheel it looks awesome on the car and is probably my fave wheel on the E46....

 

[andrewbuch]

Car looks good..

I would say add to your mod list

OEM Bi-Xenon install
6 Speed Gearbox
LSD

I put just a Sony Xplod Sub and Amp in the boot . Nothing fancy . Its got a hi fi loudspeaker system already . Just found the Bass was not of good quality so a little mod there . :thumbsup:

Thanks WyKid . Thats the wheel I want . Don't know if the 5 series rim will look better though . In the June holidays , I'm gonna stretch my budget and definately find this wheel . Nice how Bmw Individual owners share the same taste :clap:

6 Speed Gearbox

Andrew I would love too . But OEM Bi-Xenons are expensive . And can you please explain to me the advantages of the Six speed Gearbox and the LSD . Thanks :thumbsup:

Nice car, great condition!! Enjoy :thumbsup:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Its still fresh hehe , only 76k km on the clock . And I hate passengers so most of the seats pretty brand new .

 

[andrewbuch]

OEM Bi-Xenon would be about R2500.. pick them up from a scrapyard Sorted..

6 Speed will give better fuel consumption but with the LSD you can get a higher ratio which increases acceleration & the 6 speed will keep the revs still in a good place.. the LSD (Limited slip diff) will improve traction which equals improved acceleration & cornering and the added benefit would be easier & better to do powerslides & donuts

 

[AshG108]

NICE BRU!

Very, Very NICE!!!!

 

[Onyx]

Looking damn good! Love that colour... :thumb:

 

[Karthik]

Thanks guys much appreciated and andrew ! U got me thinking increased acceleration you say , hmm how much faster is that ? With exhaust , chip , lsd , six speed , intake ? Nd how much will I find an lsd or six speed transi for ? Thanks

 

[335i Lci]

Where do people get their apparent vast knowledge of the BMW from??? The wheel you want never EVER came as an option on the E46 but it did come on the last few of the shape in 2005 and on the individual only, that's the one I have, all the uk ones have this wheel. If you don't know rather you stick to your shape, then you will know everything!!! It was an option? Wtf

LSD for E46 is $$$$$ Cause as far as I know the only route is Quafe..


6 Speed should be about R6500 Fitted.. then sell the 5 speed..

You could just swap a different diff ratio which should be much cheaper than a lsd..

 

[freerider]

Messing metallic and estoril blue are my 2 favourite colours on an E46, very good looking ride you have there.

Okay 335i , Sorry we not as informed as you . And I've seen quite a few 04 e46 individuals with them too . It was an option on the Individual models . FACT ! And E46 is still an E46 if its in individual form so you saying never EVER ???
