Matts daily BMW 330ci E46

[Matt 211988]

The longest i have ever owned a car! and I'm still not quite bored of it after 19months

Started out as a standard e46 330ci, imola red, black leather and a sun roof!

Now it has KW coilovers
m3 front roll bar
3sdm alloys (i know i know)
clubsport splitters moulded into the bumper
gloss black rear 'diffuser'
xenons (real ones )
main cats removed
middles silencers removed
probably more that i cant remember

I love Imola red, it has to be one of my favourite colours especially on the E46. These coupes still look do right to me.

The only thing that I'm not sure on is the wheels (but I really like MVII's). I like the grills and the black diffuser too.

Beautiful - I agree the wheels look a bit out of place though

[Matt 211988]

yes, thats one thing i would change myself, but i just cant justify spending money the money on some others

when i got it it was my only car, daily and toy
then i bought the kit car as a toy and my money goes on improving that

I would like some csl alloys, but theyre very common (for a good reason!)

or some rota grids.... but like i say, i just cant justify it :P

the 3sdm's will be going anthracite/gloss black over the winter

[dragonheart]

I like the wheels

[iacabu]

I used to like these wheels more than I do now, either way your car looks good wish I still had mine

I would go for anthracite over black if you're going to change

Very nice, any chance of a sound clip?

[Matt 211988]

I love the wheels but they don't suit the car IMO. Concave wheels suit the bubble arches of the M3 very well (CSL's for example) but split rims with a decent dish look much nicer on the 330ci.

Nice car though!

Love this, the first pic looks mean, colour looks beautiful on it too, and I like the black grilles.

Only thing I'm not too much of a fan of is the alloys, don't look too bad though, but like you said, you can't justify spending money on some others, so fk it.

The E46 may be 15 years old, but IMO it is one of the best looking cars ever made, and one of BMW's best cars.

Nice, is it overly loud on motorway driving or do you get any emission warning lights by removing the cats?

[Matt 211988]

no, its very civilised, even when hooning it its never overly loud in the cockpit, just a nice sound towards the top of the revs

it still has 2 precats in the system and iv never had any warning lights on

[Ruskie]

[Matt 211988]
