My Alpine White E46 330i Sport

[KPM3_30]

Keen to see this, and your faster car, once that's tuned as well Fencelook

@Subloaded, the 30i already wobbled you on the highway that day.. Just need to do the same with the 20d :rollsmile:

Wasn't too surprised, with that one, to be honest. Looking forward to it :rollsmile:

@Subloaded, since you have the gift of foresight, where is your money on the 20d vs 20d..?

:smilebounce:

Not much to update yet. Already blew the R20k budget I had for the suspension refresh and I still have a few more items to procure.. Really is an expensive exercise.

Just a random pic after a meet up with @JodyD and @Subloaded. @Riaad didn't pitch up in time for a photo.

Looks like i was late to reply as well :fencelook:

It happens with a N46, I don't blame you.. :tease:

A long anticipated update.. With the 320d having gone on to a new home, I am looking forward to giving the 330i some attention.. I have finally procured ALL my suspension parts after starting this journey a year ago.. Thanks to everyone that chimed in and shared feedback on my other thread HERE, the advice has been invaluable. 

I decided to go for the traditional set up of a shock and spring combo, whilst refreshing all the other associated components. My thought process was to look for OE or better critical components, where I couldn't find a brand I was sure of, I opted to buy these bits from the agents. Hopefully the breakdown below can help anyone looking for suspension guidance on their Sport Pack E46's.  One can really go down the rabbit hole when it comes to work like this.. I have finally tallied up the costs and the grand total is a shade over R30k, just for the components listed below..

I am keen to get all these parts on the car and then go for a proper hoon... Update to follow once I've had these fitted in the coming weeks.

Nice Kev. Big job ahead but will be well worth it when done.

 

[sash]

[Camiel Singh]

I'm scared to even ponder how much that came too.

Wow that is a proper suspension refresh bud! Well done!

Any idea if the Motorsport and Sportpack part numbers are the same?

Thanks

Most parts are identical with the exception of the front control arms, where the mtech2 control arms have no rubber in the balljoint.

respect for the commitment. well done
