My 330CI.

Hey everyone! I'm 22 and I'm a recent graduate from Texas A&M University if you couldn't tell from my username. Currently I'm in Dallas Texas and I got my first e46 four years ago. Since then, I've been slowly modding whatever I can as my budget allowed
Here are some (not so clear) pictures of my car and hopefully I'll be updating this thread with new ones as I continue to change up my car!

List of things to still do
Orion V4 Angel Eyes
CF GTR Hood

2003 330Ci
M3 Side Mirrors
Hartge Rep Lip


Dinan Cold Air Intake

Suspension

Dinan Strut Brace

Hartge Rep Lip

My puppy Daisy checking out the bimmer!

Daisy checking out the 19" matte charcoal grey rims



Aluminum Trim


Matte Charcoal Grey 19"'s
19x8.5 Front:225/35/19
19x9.5 Rear:245/35/19













Hope y'all enjoyed! Let me know what you guys think

I like the outside of the car. I just don't like the custom head unit. It contrasts a lot with the rest of the car. I feel like LED tails are something to consider, and if you're going to change the trunk and wheel roundels, you need to change the hood too for consistency.

Looks good! Just my .02.

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, I'll probably go back to the original soon and just get a AUX installed. The hood roundels will be on its way soon! The one's I had peeled off due to the weather so I had to spend another 30$ buying a new set from bimmian lol

Yeah..I dipped them myself just to see how it'll look like before taking it to a wheel shop and having them professionally done. I'm not a fan of all blacked out cars and I was unsure of how matte grey rims would look but I like it!

haha I just paid about $400 getting it fixed. I'll upload the itemized receipt tomorrow so you can see exactly what was replaced. Do you still hear the noise when you turn your car on?!

Lol alright, It makes the noise every now and then not like it was before though.

Yeah those are them, I picked mine up through eBay, but they look the same as mine. Yeah I did the install myself wasn't too bad.
