E46 Touring Build Thread

[wasnt m3]

Thanks guys, I'll have some updates this weekend for you.

[RamRod E28]

Damn that looks good I want those wheels on my e46 now

[wasnt m3]

Swapped shifters real quick tonight, getting rid of the last piece of wood left in favor of this e39 shifter. I have yet to see another in this color trim.

Also, dropping some parts off at the painter tomorrow.

this thing looks killer TJ!!

following it to the 5er meet was a fun experience.

I thought i would have to dodge a shower of sparks and fluids.

Got a couple things done on the interior today. Installed sport seats and sport steering wheel.

These happen to be out of a coupe so they have the ability to flip forward. Maximum hauling capabilities!

Picking up parts from my painter on Monday, can't wait!!

I love your wagon!

[wasnt m3]

Decided to do a quick wetsand on my headlight lenses today while installing a fresh set of smoked corners(hit a bird on the freeway and cracked one last year). Turned out decent but I'll probably install new lenses sometime soon.

Looks great=) Where's your tow hook cover?

[wasnt m3]

The painter has it to make sure the color match is good.

[Earl]

That is an excellent idea=)

Got some stuff done after work last night.

Before:

Front bumper removed

New ZHP bumper fitted

E46 M3 side skirts

Had to give it the first bath of the season

Only took me about 3/4 of a mile to get pulled over for no front plate...needless to say I'm going to be putting that back on.

Nice!  I have run my e36 with no front plate for 3 years, but I have the trim strip for no plate so it blends in.  I also live in a small town and the cops don't seem to care.

[I love my E39]

I really want a touring because of this car =0 I usually don't care for this color on any vehicle or any sort of tan/gold/beige, but i have to say this LOOKS GOOOD! Now to find a XI.. hmmmmmmmm

[Earl]

The only automatic car I feel awesome riding in=)

[patsbimmer1]

Dear god! That new bumper looks killer!

I have run no front plate for 6 years now and I wad never pulled over in my BMW's. I ran no front on my 240sx and was pulled over multiple times in a week before i ran some screws in the bumper!

[suspenceful]

Wow, nice wagon.

Never thought I'd see F30 wheels on something like this... but they look good!

[DrLeadFoot]

Looks great with the sides and front bumper!!

[KaiserRolls]

That bumper&side skirts look good

[BimmerBonez]

TJ, she looks badass!

[YoungCR]

Fastest looking slow wagon ever
