My 99 e46 328i

[ChrisBrand]

Im new to the website and enjoy reading all the tips. Some pics of my car. No major changes to the outside. Just trying to keep it clean. Have fitted it with a K&N panel air filter and a Powerflow free flow exhaust. Next step would be chip tuning. Any further advice on improving the cars performance without sacrificing the economy too much would be appreciated. Love my car but can't help eyeing those m3's. Definately my next car.

Just a quick question. What would u guys think of spraying the standard rims gun metal? My friends dad owns a compressor company and hes working there now. They supply compressors to a shop next door that refurbishes rims. He can get me a good discount and i don't really have the cash for new bigger rims and the current tyres are almost brand new.

LED interior and license plate kit. Very big thanks to Demon for the kit! The pics don't do it justice. Stupid phone camera. This is truly a very inexpensive mod and really, excuse the pun, lights up the car.

That looks good:thumbsup:

I think just leave the wheels as is until you have some cash to get bigger nicer wheels.

Sweet chris! Coming together very nicely my friend:thumbsup:

gun metal rims will look good on that colour could also look good if you sprayed all your chrome in gun metal

Car looks great.

This car looks awesome, but kind of confuses me.... Stealth or stadium lighting...


Absolutely no offence....just that the cogs in my head are not working properly...

I agree with Legacy. Leave the rims as they are and save up for bigger rims. When it comes to selling these you can expect a lil more if they are original.... think long term.

Awesome. Love the angel eyes.
Pity the license plate lights dont work on the e36 (i.e. It gives an OBC error).

Gunmetal for the rims would look great I think. wanted to maybe do my CSL reps in gunmetal.

Thanks guys. Hehe, XMax your quite right don't worry. I get stuff for the car as soon as i like it and then try and see how it all comes together. Im confusing myself. I like the stealth look but love the bright LED instead of the boring yellow that the car came out with.

Small update. Just a new spoiler but have a few photos and don't know how the whole "My Garage" thing works so will post here so long.

Wow! Car is looking great! :thumbs:

Car looking great chris. Is that the same spioler from the shoot?

Thanks buddy.

I bought the spoiler second hand from a fellow fanatic (gizmowp).
I see autostyle and max motorsport have them for about R350. Think Racing Edge have as well. And the respray was about R350.

Yes Z, same spoiler. Does look bigger now. Think its because of Zaahier, Zaki and Kabals CSL boots!!

 

[gconry18]

I guess it looks ok if you are into that sort of thing. :tease:
