Yet another E46 330ci

[coopedup]

Had this for just over a year now, full service history and only just turned 57,000 miles. I have uprated the front suspension bushes and had to replace a rear spring along with a couple of rear tires but I love it.
Fuel consumption is somewhere south of the border but that is due to only having a 5 mile return trip to work twice a day, currently around 19.5 to the gallon

And a photo of my old favourite, believe it or not a gift from an ex girlfriend!!

Forgot to ask, has anybody done the golf tee mod and does it really make any difference to fuel consumption, noise etc...?

Did you get the car from your ex before or after she became the ex? Also the golf tee thing, im sure it only ads a little noise low down the range, no effect on economy.

sadly had to sell when she became my ex as it was a gift from her. Thanks for the replies on the mod, will try it this weekend.

Has she never heard that you can't take gifts back.

An E46 with only 57k on! I thought they left the factory with 100k on. That's a great example.
Cool old wedge too.

I tried to tell her that but she wouldn't listen

Holy crap that sounds a lot different!

Still yet to do this but at least I can just reverse it if it is too bad, hardly ever go on motorways thankfully

Well it appears the flap is stuck open on mine as well, cannot believe I didn't realise what a muppet, not going to be getting any more noise then! Anybody got any suggestions about tuning mods?

Well it is going in for a bit of titivating in a couple of weeks with 5 areas being sorted by Chips Away. Wing mirror, rear bumper, tiny dents over rear wheel arch and front bumper and wing need looking at, hopefully will be looking a lot better. Just need to try and find either new front seats due to some kind of chemical being spilt on them, or getting them re-covered, anybody know a good leather place in Surrey?
