Good Day

Siya here ... So just picked up a "E46 2001 330i Metallic Black" a month back from my mother since it's not being used.

So far I've changed the radiator, fuel pump, water pump, battery, shocks and spark plugs & shocks.
4650km till its next service
It's an Automatic, Car sounds great love the power. When I've sorted out funds I'm looking on respraying the car and changing the bumper to M-Tech 2, plus get the m sport steering wheel ( love the design) not sure how to go about that and all and where to start looking & the headlights & taillights to the clear and more modern look, not liking the orange so much.
I also would like to change the wooden trim, repaint the seats to black if possible and I was wondering how do I go about changing the head liner to black and everything else in the car or should I just restore the original color it came in?
I also wana change the radio and get a double din.

Came back from MP today and it was a smooth drive, please excuse the dirty car.

You might get more enjoyment from just restoring that to what it was, rather than trying to turn it into a Sport/Individual. Love the two-tone interior.

Very nice car and welcome. Keep the lights, don't respray - take it in for a nice polish. Get sone nice high quality carbon fiber vinyl wrap for wooden trim. The Motorsport bumpers will give the car a nice facelift. Interior I would leave alone, rather spend the cash on refurbishing your gearbox before it dies.

Thank you very much, mmm not so sure about the lights but will see, now that's a good option on the vinyl wrap.
Okay will remember that on the gearbox side.:coolShake:
