E46 328ci
-
Hello all, this is my E46 2000 328ci. I've had the car for close to a year now and I love it. The car has been great for daily purposes, I look forward to driving my car to work or to school. I Bought the car from an older gentleman in De pere. He was the original owner of this car and has enthusiast owned more than 10 BMW's ranging from 1600's and 2002's to this E46 being his most recent. I am really glad that I'll be able to continue to take care of this car like he did for many years to come. I do enjoy the stock look of the car, but it isn't enough for me. So the mods that will and have been done to this car are just to give it a little more flare, nothing major.
Pictures are more enjoyable than text, so I'll continue through that.
First day home
Some might not be a fan of the tan on black but I actually really like it.
Front license plate holder has been removed
First "mod" was frenched headlights.
My plastic coverings are really beat up from a lot of highway miles, but they do look good still
A fellow member (Suspenceful) on here graciously took some pictures
Red tails
Black kidneys
Black trim
Clear corners must have come at this point. As well as clear bumper reflectors and side turn indicators
This guy, lol
Pretty sure this car is floating around here

continued:
Random pictures
Test fitting Jake's old wheels
Cooling system overhaul. In typical me fashion, I broke something. Fixed it and the car has been fine ever since
At Le Mans at Road America (I love that place). Lots of nice BMW's there
Two fern green M3's, thats odd
Finally something interesting, new wheels. 18 x 8.5 et 30, 18 x 9.5 et 35
Rears, dat lip
Test fit
Thats on stock suspension
And with the help of GunMetalGrey, got angel eyes installed
They look great.

Looking forward to seeing it with the angel eyes without complete darkness. Also looking forward to the wheels.
Lol'd at pic of Ben.
Keep it up.

The frenched high beams look real good
What part of the state do you live in? There is a severe lack of newer subdivisions anywhere within 20 miles of Milwaukee and seeing a nice new neighborhood is strange for me.
Thanks guys
I live in the Appleton area

I think in Jake's garage at some point
Thank you for the kind words everyone.
I apologize for the cell phone pictures, I have no idea where my memory car for my T3i is, kind of pissed about that. The HTC one takes alright pictures, but they really fucked it up with trying to be different with "ultrapixels" pictures are average at best. End rant, but some more pictures
Test fit the front wheel
Seeing as it was so nice outside, I figured why not throw the rear on for full effect?
Not bad, 4x4 status for sure. Have to decide what route I am going to go for suspension still
Its going to be herrafrush
Also, went back to amber turns on the front. Mainly because I cam back from school the other day and my mom told me my "turn signal was hanging out of my car", what? Go out and look, my left turn signal is gone lol I really dont care though because I wasnt really feeling the clear anymore, kind of like the amber too.

Ambers look better IMO. You've got plenty of room to play with there, you probably won't even need to roll your fenders once lowered.
Get some tires and put those bitches on.

Beginning the saving process. If you know of anyone that wants their car detailed, let me know lol only way I am going to be able to fund this

What do you guys think about me going back to chrome kidney grills? Looking at some older pictures and seeing the chrome, I kind of like the look of it more. I'm thinking about painting them with a gloss black look instead of the flat black to give it a try before I look for chrome
I bought the e34 off of Ben.
