Taking my Time - Kielan's E46 Build, Round 2.

[Kielan]

Ordered up some tires today, so hopefully those are here before the end of the week.

Also painting the barrels of the wheels tomorrow, I'm thinking either black or silver. I should probably decide soon haha.

awesome update!

[Kielan]

So like I said, I got some new to me stuff for the car. I've always been a fan of AC Schnitzer parts, so when the oppurtunity to get some came up, for a great deal, I just had to jump at it. Parts I never thought I would own because of rarity and price that I just couldn't justify are now in the car. I am extremely happy with the new parts, and honestly cannot wait to really dig into the car now. At first I was skeptical, but with the ACS stuff, it's like the fire has been re-lit inside me.

For now here are some pretty crappy instagram pictures of what I have. I will be taking better pictures in the near future. The car should be coming back down soon, once I get the Type 2s cleaned up and having tires.

Handbrake, and shifter (suede boots for each as well).


Floor mats (don't mind my shoes).



Mirrors, which I absolutely love, still debating if I will paint them white or not, I really do dig them black.


This isn't an ACS part, but I've wanted these gauge overlays and red needles since I had my first E46.


And the part you've all been waiting for.


Wheels are 18x8.5 et43, so there are spacers in the future, but for now, my primary concern is getting them on the car.

That's all for now folks, expect more updates in the next week.

I think the most annoying thing about my M54B25 is the whistling intake boots. Good luck, loved the old car with the m pars.

Key-Lin's Build thread. ... Will follow religiously

[nellydragracer]

It's still quite shocking to look at the photo of the damaged car, you guys were lucky.

Looking forward to future progress.

[NeilP]

sorry to hear about your first car!

having had the opportunity to have a fresh start is amazing! You don't have to learn about the car, just concentrate on materialising plans!

Good luck with this!

[Funtington]

Man like I said before, I just love the OEM wheels on this. would be soooo cool to see you have a one off set made in maybe 18 inch size....

[Dibaltic]

looking forward to seeing what you do with it !

[Kielan]

You got mad camberz bro.

EDIT: First page on Kielan's build thread like omg.

Something like 6 degrees or something in the rear. Lol.

It looks really nice on the 16" style 5, and I'm sure it'll be as classy as your last.

Your journal style writing is pretty cute as well.

It was nice, but not worth spending any money on.

LOL thanks.

Don't crash this one!

<3

Thanks Nick, you're so nice!

Looking forward to the progress man, will this be making it down to GA?

Nope, won't be nearly ready to make that drive for a while unfortunately.

Well all you need is wheels and your basically set haha

If all this was going to be was wheels and a drop, I wouldn't have made a build thread.

I really liked the M-Parallel's on the first one. Good luck with your new build, sorry about your loss.

Thanks man, it's been over 7 months since I totalled the last one, and I've had this one for close to 7 months as well so I'm "over" the loss of the car, but I still think about the accident every day.
