I was thinking a thread where we post current pics of our e46s could be fun and a positive thing as we progress in modding, interior, exterior, post detail, etc. also maybe help with people looking for ideas and just a mostly photo based thread.
Here is mine!:

Horrible picture is horrible




I'm supremely pissed because I just noticed my passenger side rear center cap fell off :ben:

Next mod is definitely gonna be Mtech, still haven't decided if I want the splitters yet. After that, racelands

^haha. Tint is on the list with 50% all around and 70% on the front windshield. M3 mirrors...not a fan. Drop...nah, I like the stock ZSP height, maybe one day long down the road though.

Shitty picture but it's the most recent one I have sadly. Had a set of LMS reps on there but one decided it didn't like to meet a pothole so back on stock wheels.



Have a roll of Shadowline trim tape to put on around the windows and then it's the typical wheels/coils and who knows from there.

Every now and then, but not regularly. I pass through Medina about once a month for work. Mostly in Cbus though.

If ur that close, hit me up the next time your going to a meet. We'll probably both be there.

I was thinking you car was parked at a house on Abbeyville road on the west side...maybe we have another e46 here finally...I've only come to recognize 4 around these parts.

If I get the time/energy I might hit up a meet in columbus one of these days.

hey spence they were $450 each from tischer. it was a bit pricey, but the primary reason is that with the natural brown, the leather was only available with the heating grid.. for the standard colors i recall you could get the non heated for about $250. i am wired for heated seats though with OEM connectors etc so it was a plus. if you need any help on the process let me know. basically, anywhere you see a seam on the seat, there is a wire in the foam, and also a wire on the leather which you will reuse from your current leather (see pic) so what you are doing is taking hog rings (kind of like thick staples), and clamping the two parallel wires together by smashing the hog ring closed. (see pic) this is how the seat is pulled inward at all seams. then the outer perimeter is stretched with a sort of weather stripping built onto it. really fun job it takes about 2 hours. i really just figured it was going to be one of the first things to go in the car so i did it as preventative and mostly just out of curiousity. i am confident to say it is better than factory now because i really put some time into making it nice.

<<< not a bmw pic but similar example
