Belgian Beamer 320 CD Imola Red

RedBeamer · 11-29-2012, 09:34 AM

Hi dear BMW lovers

My name is Kevin, i'm 20 year old and i live in Belgium. I'm still a student but BMW is a passion and every money i earn is spent on the beamer.
It's a 320 Coupé Diesel of the year 2003. I bought it 2 years ago and it had +/- 106.000km. After 2 years of the real driving experience it has now 175.000km but without any problems

.
The car has changed quite a lot because once you start changing things you never stop

.
Whell images say more than words so here they are

A pic of how i bought the car

After a while it looked like this :

And now it looks like this

Very nice. Love the wheels!

Wow, love the colour, imola red is probably the best e46 colour! Lovely car, wheels are awesome.

GORGEOUS. You just won.

That car is simply perfect. I especially love how simple and elegant those 5 spoke wheels are, yet they set off the car perfectly. Don't change a thing!

edit: What's that thing on the fender - it looks like you relocated the sidemarker?

The thing on the fender is the sidemarker

its a european car so that's where the sidemarkers are over here

but these are not the original ones they are different, these one are aftermarked with LED

.
Thanks for the comments people !

Same, but only better. I like the fatter spokes on these.

makecopies · 11-29-2012, 12:36 PM

Sponsors over here would make a killing if they had a replica of those wheels

Studdly_Studright · 11-29-2012, 01:28 PM

Wow intantly one of my favorite e46s, everything is nice especially the silver wheels. Is the roof matte or matte carbon? That's my only issue since everything else is glossy.

jhaurimn · 11-29-2012, 01:36 PM

Nice. Imola red >

simsima325 · 11-29-2012, 02:37 PM

nice, but go back to standard sidemarker

and some real MVR woulda been killer, old school. look good tho!

Why replica? to be honest the wheels are not so expensive , i bought them for €805 so that's about +/- $1000 i think? so not so expensive at all for good, reliable sollid wheels
