BMW E46 318td Compact Kit ///M - NEWS PG.3

Hello there,

Introducing my first Project: BMW E46 318td Compact. With 115hp & 280Nm, that many people in Portugal knows as "Morto Bonito", has suffered "some" changes from the time I bought it in Feb.09 with 63.000km.

When I saw it, it had:

:arrow: 4 arms steering wheel
:arrow: M6 wheels in 17"
:arrow: Sony S2220 - CD & MP3
:arrow: Manual A/C
:arrow: Lettering OFF





Here's the list of modd's in HF.

Motor:

:arrow: Cat's "cleanned" inside, double tip
:arrow: EGR OFF
:arrow: Euro3 Injectors from 320d 150cv
:arrow: Intercooler XL
:arrow: Top-Bar Innoparts
:arrow: Carbon reinforced clutch disc

Ground connection:
:arrow: Coilovers Einbach Pro-kit (former Einbach Sportline Springs)
:arrow: Fake BBS LM 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 (former Fake M3 in 18")

:arrow: Sticker MB Power
:arrow: Pub in License Plate OUT
:arrow: Angel Eyes
:arrow: LEDs in License Plate

:arrow: Black roof
:arrow: Carbon Symbols in hood & trunk (back to original symbols)

... to come:

The idea is to have a Compact different from the rest.

About 200hp & 450Nm.

Eheh Typical of Diesel engines. I like it... a LOT!! :evil:

Thank you. But I believe it can be improved. :D

Thanks. :D

Gostozo de mais vey lol
Thanks. :)

Nicely modded compact!! :thumbsup:
Thank you. :thumbup:

nice compact, hows your gearbox holding out with all that extra power
That extra Power is sick. I've modded the gearbox (disc) re-inforced in carbon. :evil:

looks good! I dig it :thumbsup:
Me 2. lol. :thumbup:

Car looks really good :clap: The LMs are a big improvement.

the only thing thats always bothered me about those cars is the lights/front end. :dunno:
Yes, it was a big improvement. Trying to do some changes in it. Maybe some wheels in 19". ;)

These front lights are different, but I like them now.

benvido paisano eu son de Galicia!!! impresionante repro!!!!
You are from Spain. It's "near". lol.

Yes, repro by MB POWER. Can be improved, yet. :excited:


Your whip looks like a Bentley from the front.
It's the E46 Compact. The front is unusual and different from the E46 Sedan. :D


Dude that is so weird looking.

Como que voce fez o carro desse jeito?
I know, when you're not used to it, it's weird. As said before, it's E46 Compact. Google it. ;)

...

Thanks for all the comment. :thumbsup:

Compact E46 never came in US.. that's why you think the headlights look weird.. I thought the same when i first saw it.. but then you get used to it when you see lots of them around you.. (Especially in Greece.. compact E46 was the cheapest BMW E46)
It's nice.. Different from the other E46s (sedan, coupe, cabrio)..

Very true, when I first got my compact I thought about doing a coupe headlight conversion, but after a while the front end grew on me, now after 3 years I am still not bored of the styling, I guess that was Bangle's intetion.


Nice compact BTW, looks much better with the M kit.
