My Build Thread:Lots of pics:)

I am a college student and the first year i spent all my money on maintenance, now i decided it was time to start modding

Here is how my car looked how i got it:
it is a 325i non-sport


The first mod i did was tint my windows
34% on front two and 17% on back three windows

My next mod was getting oem xenon headlights. Anyone without xenon headlights should really upgrade to oem xenons. it costs a good amount of money but it is well worth it

I didnt mod for a while since i had no money:/ all my money went to text books

The next mod i wanted to do was get new wheels. The stock ones were just ugly


i bought some oem bbs style 124 off a 545i hoping they would fit

unfortunately i did not like how they fit, offsets were too low and the rim stuck out past the fender too much for my liking

Luckily! i found a really cheap set of oem style 189 wheels for only $300!!! steal of the century

Since i have the nonsport e46 i bought the sport suspension for it i wanted a drop but not too much therefore i went with oem suspension

the new wheels changed the look of the car completely! there is almost no wheel gap and the amount of negative camber looks perfect i love how it sits.

and of course i got it aligned after

Many say going from non-sport to sport suspension is not even noticeable but it is!

Next i bought some V2 Umnitza angel eyes, it added a nice touch

After i bought the bmw performance exhaust off a member here! i removed the resonator nearest to the muffler. It sounds awesome!

Then i bought the trunk spoiler lip off ebay for about 40 dollars!
i also paint matched he trunk handle to match the entire car

I recently got my mtech2 front bumper! i picked up a replica at umnitza, i made the 1 hour trip to the warehouse to save on shipping
while there i saw umnitza's m5!

i have my tmech2 bumper waiting to be put on tomorrow morning! i will post updated pics of my car as soon as it gets mounted on

the style 189 wheels looks nice and the mtech bumper will sure make it look even better.

The "rims" is the appearance. Way too substantial/large looking for the car. Overwhelms the body.

And very serious.

looks good, very clean mods

Style 189 looks 1000x better than the original rims you had.

The wheels are just 18's i have no clue how they can look overwhelming? Oh well haha.
