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!:

October 19th 2010 update.

Lots of DIYing and modifications and the car still surprisingly looks stock.

Car is approaching the 60,000 mile mark on the odometer.

For this year I added: OEM Alarm coded with ALL the E46 Convenience Options turned on, Heated 2006 X3 steering wheel (removed), Automatic Windshield Washing Function, Sports Mode function Button (removed), Integrated BMW SiriusXM Sat radio, Voice Command Bluetooth and BMW SOS Assist, the OEM E46 sedan rear electric sunshade, USA-Spec PA12 iPod Data and AUX in for the CD53 (removed), the E60 LCI DCT Electronic Shifter (removed), M3 Trunk Lid Tails, M3 Shift Paddles SMG Tri-Color Stitching Steering Wheel, 16:9 CD Navigation MK4 BM53 system with Intravee 2 iPod Data,OEM SiriusXM for Nav, OEM Aux-In and Voice Command Bluetooth Integrated.

Major Repairs or Maintenance consisted of: Engine Belts and All the Belt System Pulleys as well as Water Pump Pulley, Cabin Filter, Intake Elbow hose replacement, Engine splash panel replacement, PassSide Rear Door Window Regulator.

I almost did but didn't do: Upgrade the rims to E90 Style #284, Coolant system overhaul, Water Pump Upgrade, Valve cover gaskets and seals, upgrade to full heated lumbar power sports seats, and upgrade to ContiExtreme DWS Tires-stalled on getting tires because I am still undecided with what to do with the stock 330i rims.

Next year as the car approaching 65,000 miles: I will finish up my maintenance to-do list (paint the roof, new tires in before winter 2010, Valve Cover Gaskets, Spark Plugs, Stewart water pump, cooling system overhaul, front end suspension overhaul, and possibly upgrade the brakes to Akebonos-to combat annoying brake dusting), I also want to upgrade to OEM E90 LCI aluminum pedals, and possibly find a new wood trim for the interior (either eucalyptus or cherry or even piano black), After all that then whatever energy and coin I have left over I may upgrade to heated sports seats.

lol :) :eeps:


can I play?

bone stock Orient Blue euro 2003 320diesel touring with factory sports suspension kit, 6 speed, 17"'s...

I like it.. Just trying to decide on what to do first... Suspension, tints or ice..

Just ordered my first 'mod'.. :) Pipercross airfilter :rofl:
^ nice touring man... go with tints. i got mine yesterday and love them
+1. for reference here is mine with 5% 3M color stable around the back and 35% on the driver/passenger: from the first post in the thread. not to mention preserves the interior of your car 10 fold and keeps it cool.

I painted myself for like 30 for paint and clear. my rear rims are bent bad from crazy pothole roads where I live. so just painted to see if I would want black wheels next
year or if it would look weird but kinda like it, now just got to find a set I like.
